Nolan really has grown up. You are right, what a difference in the face when those teeth come in.

I love the picture of all 3 babes. Somehow I can see you with 3.

The menu sounded delish and if you cooked it all, you are HIRED!! I suck in the cooking department. That is one thing Jearel would trade me in for ;)

I love little family days like that...and funny present for you (beer!) I only drink beer when I HAVE to, like on the lake! Growing up, we always had Keystone light (cheap & easy), so that was the drink of choice. Now, I'm more of a Vodka gal!
Nolan's hair is gettin' long! I love the shots of them on the quad together.

P.S.- The pacifier thing has really been helpin' us with Camden's top teeth comin' in (mainly, it's for OUR sanity!) haa

We are working on that #2. No luck though. Since luck is what I need to get pregnant. Let's just hope it doesn't take a year this time. So far the count is four months of trying. Our fingers are crossed that I don't get my period in a few days. I would like the barfing stage to be somewhat contained by the time I start school at the end of August.

Family time is the best, especially when every one comes to your house! Love it!

Food sounds yummy!

You look very cute by the way!
