Being 4 is FuN!

I've been wanting to update for weeks, but LIFE has been a 3 ring circus. This is mainly a post for/about Nolan.  He is a character!  On Sunday night he was stalling to get to bed, as usual, and I heard him come down the stairs, again.  He peaked over the railing and said "Mom, when I'm a grown up, I'm going to boss you."  I was howling!  Such a little stinker, and has just as much spice as the other 2.  He is loving school, it's been great for him. Next year he'll go 3 days instead of 2, and he will have the BEST Pre-K teacher on the planet...who also happens to be one of his "aunties" ;) He had a pajama day about a month ago, so he was able to go to school in his comfy cozies. Mrs. L brought in a pretend fire, they had breakfast goodies for snack, and then cocoa and popcorn with a fireside story. Too cute, and so much fun for the kids!

Snack time!
A visit to the fire station never gets old for Nolan, especially if he gets to visit with his uncle Joey.  We took a trip out to see uncle Joe a few weeks ago.  He's now at a station just north of us so we take advantage of that when he's closer to town.  The kids had a blast touring the station, riding around in the different fire trucks, watching a few of the volunteer firemen go through some drills outside.  It was great, and always nice to spend time with my brother.  I think that most little boys are fascinated by firetrucks & firefighters.  Every time we leave Nolan tells us he wants to be a fireman like his uncle Jo Jo.  I love to hear about the hopes & dreams little people have, especially with my own children~so much curiosity along with pure, sweet, and innocent life!
Backing up~he makes it look so easy.  This is a huge truck.
Joe is so great with kids!
These are just random pictures. Like I said, this boy keeps me smiling often. He made a cozy little bed for himself the other morning while watching a show. Used my laundry basket. This is how I found him.

Oh I LOVE these photos Kell! What a sweet bond you have with your brothers. It is so heartwarming to see how that bond is also with your brothers and your little munchkins. They are lucky to have such GREAT Uncles who clearly think the world of them.
I can't wait to see you this spring and miss annoying your "little" brothers and Derek. Hopefully we can all catch up someday. We'd need at least a FULL weekend!! ;)
