Nolen is 2!!

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY NOLEN!!

 

It is crazy to think that two years ago we were in the hospital having our second little boy!!  My how time flies when you are having fun!!  We had a small party with just family on Sunday for Nolen's birthday and we had fun!  Pizza, cake, presents and family make the best birthday parties!!  Nolen did not sleep well the night before his party, too excited, but that did not keep him from going non stop and having a wonderful party.  He did crash after we finished cake though!!  He got lots of wonderful gifts!  Thank you to everyone who made his day special! 

The Birthday table and room!

The cake!  I had so much fun making this one!!  I always like to coordinate the invitation with the cake and loved how it turned out!  The boys loved it!

Nolen checking it all out and Hudsen telling him how the whole birthday thing works!!

Nanny and Hudsen playing ball before everyone gets to the party!

Nolen enjoying some snacks and getting his run in before the party!

Present time!  He had so much fun opening his gifts and Hudsen loved helping!  Nolen is like me because he loved his cards just as much as the gift!!

Mickey book and unlv t-shirt from Beth & G

t-ball set from Mommy, Daddy and Hudsen

golf clubs and books from Kiley, Michael, Ashton and Stella

fun learning ball and elmo pj's from Amy and OnOn

Hudsen got some fun learning sheets from Grandma and Bompa

He got so many fun things and he loves them all!  I was not the mother that decorated the boys rooms when they were born with a certain theme.  I felt like I wanted to wait and let them decide what they were interested in so that they would love their rooms!  They both LOVE baseball, SHOCKER I know, so they both have baseball rooms now.  We did Hudsen's room when he was two, so that's what we did with Nolen.  That made his birthday shopping a lot easier.  He got a new sports quilt from Grandma and Bompa and decorative things from Nanny, me, Tim and Hudsen.  He loved them and loves his room too!!  I have to paint his headbord and nightstand and then I will put a picture up of his room!  It turned out so cute!  He also got a bbq grill, books, unlv t-shirt, sandals, easter clothes, golf clubs, elmo pj's, fun learning ball and his own t-ball set! 

 

 

After the party, enjoying some Nanny time!!  We had so much fun with my mom and due to some crazy weather in Plainview, we got to have her for a couple days longer than planned!!!  She went home today and Hudsen was really sad to see her go but we can't wait to visit this summer!!!

 

Love it!

Me and my Mom!  Love her!

Daddy, Mommy and the Birthday Boy!

They are so sweet!
