Nolan looked surprised to see 3 candles in his birthday waffles
...and so were we!
There is always some denial and misbelief when a child turns another year older, and this year was no exception. I still remember my adorable 4lb 14 oz baby boy being born on the first snow storm of the year on Saturday, September 16th, 2006 at 11:05 AM. Mount Timpanogos was just getting it's red fall leaf coverage and the storm from the previous night had left a nice white cap on top of the mountain. 
He was born at the Timpanogos hospital in Orem, surrounded by LOTS of great doctors, nurses and family. He started out his life exceeding our expectations, and he continually does so every single day. It's ironic that his stay in the NICU may have been the longest 19 days of my life, but these last 3 years have seemingly just flown by! 
We love our handsome little man to pieces. He has such a love for life and he makes each new day an adventure. He has a great sense of humor, loves to learn new things, loves to play with his friends, and especially loves his family. He is a great big brother to Audrey, and she adores him. He is super smart-we've always been amazed at how quickly he picks up on new things. He is definitely a gadget/techie kinda guy-give him an iPhone and he'll show you how to play any game on it. He also LOVES to play his "Diego games" on the nickjr.com website and navigates it entirely on his own discovering new games and challenges with very little assistance. Yeah, we know he's only 3, but they help us teach him his shapes, colors, math and letters a lot better than anything else I've tried! He's always been a ball of energy and keeps us going along with him. So here's to you Little Man! Our lives are 1000% better since you've come along!
