The Harvest Festival

Today we went to the Harvest Festival at our church.  We had a good time and Daddy even dressed up (sort of). 

Mommy a hippy chick, Daddy a pilot, Emma a butterfly, Nolan a dinosaur, and Brandon a lion.

Bounce House Birthday Party

It was my turn to have a birthday party at the bounce house.  I had so much fun with my friends and family.  It is the best play where I can run, jump, and climb all I want.  Thank you everyone for making this day so wonderful.

Brandon's Baby Dedication

 Today Mommy and Daddy made a commitment to teach me about God and pray for me daily.  Nana, Papa, the Stone family, Auntie Ellie and Uncle Ed also were there to make a statement that they will help my parents stay accountable to this decision. 

 Daddy read a verse as a reminder to us all what we as a family are going to do for our children. Deuteronomy 6:4-9 "4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. 5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. "
  

 Here are my friends that came to join me in my celebration.

 

 My Daddy is the best!

Nolan Turns 3!

I am only 2 inches shorter than Emma and wear the same size shoe as Her.  It just might be sooner than later that I become taller than her.  I can count to 12 now and recognize numbers 1-5.  I also know the letters N, O, W, and H. I know the basic shapes as well.  My Favorite Color is still blue and I like Thomas the train.  I am beginning to like sports as well.  Papa has been teaching me baseball, I am a good kicker playing soccer, and I like to try to make baskets with my little basketball hoop.   My personality continues to be refined.  I am a polite boy saying my please and thank yous.  I am also quite stubborn and only like to do things on my terms. I like to be in control. I play well with my siblings.  I like to copy everything my sister does.  I also like to wrestle with my little brother.   I also like to make loud music and sing at the top of my lungs.

I got a bike for my birthday and I got to help Daddy put it together! I am so excited!

Playtime

 Dress up time.

Brandon can play Legos with us now!

 I still like eating the best though.
