We had a fun party in Logan last Saturday afternoon. Justin had a good time decorating the cake that I baked. As I started mixing it up, he said, "Remember, it's like you're laying the foundation and I'll build the finished product." I laughed but he was serious... he really didn't let me help much with the fun part. I have to admit that he has a knack for creative cakes! Nolan's great-grandma and grandpa Moulton were there, great-grandma Petersen, Grandma Kathi, and the Campbell family came too. It was quite a crowd singing happy birthday. Nolan sure liked it when we cheered for him when he blew out the candles, which he knew how to do perfectly without even spitting on the cake!
Nolan is so happy with all of his fun gifts except for the train set we got him. I guess it was a little advanced because he got pretty frustrated when he couldn't get the coal marbles in the proper place fast enough. He had a meltdown and swept his arm across the tracks and just screamed out as he destroyed the setup. It was pretty funny, actually. We'll be wrapping that train up for Christmas, I think! He absolutely loves his big truck, new trike, lawnmower, and cuddly bear. When it warms up he'll even have a little pool to enjoy in the backyard. Thank you to all of you who came to celebrate our little guy. We still can't believe how lucky we are to have him! 
Nolan had his 2-year-old well check-up and he's as healthy as a horse! He is in the 80th percentile for height and the 30th for weight. Long and lean. I remember thinking when he was 9 months or so that he'd grow out of his height sooner or later. I guess he hasn't yet. Maybe it's here to stay despite his average height parents! He was a little tuff guy with his shot. As he got poked I popped a sucker in his mouth. It works every time.

Hmm...I see that I need to take more pictures of Kenzee.
I love the pig on the cake with icing on it's face. Clever! He's going to have lots of fun with those toys, especially after all this new snow melts.
Sorry Kenzee, but Meryl Streep will be 60 this year. She could have been that girl's grandma! I normally love musicals and grew up listening to my parent's ABBA music, but we just had a hard time sitting through this one.
Happy Birthday Nolan!!!
Yes, we need to see some pics of the tummy!
What a fun party, I love that cake!
How fun! I love the cake...good job decorating, Justin! :) Nolan looks all grown up in so many of those pictures.
Fun pictures! The cake is way cute - I especially love the pig in the mud.
Nice work Justin! He's always been creative in that way. I recognized some of the lego pieces. Very nice! What a handsome little birthday boy! That's hilarious about the one swoop train destruction. If only that had been on video!
Looks like a fun birthday. And I loved the special attention added to the pig on the cake. Cute!
Cute pictures. I love that Justin likes to do the cake decorating. It turned out way cute. I'm glad Nolan likes his new toys and had a happy birthday.
That cake looks great. I love how excited those little ones get with their Birthdays : ).
