Nolan's 1st Independence Day

We had a great 4th of July full of fun, family and fireworks :) We spent the morning hanging around the house and then had some of the Smith family over for dinner. Nolan just loves being around people...he was hammin' it up alllllllll evening long. Towards the end of the night, we noticed some great fireworks that seemed pretty close to our house. This was no back yard show. The neighbors knew about it...lots of them sitting outside watching them. We decided that it must be a near by country club that has a show every year. Next, year we will be more prepared! We also we down town, as we do every year, to see the Nashville show. Nolan was up wayyyyyy past his bedtime, but he was a little trooper. He seemed like he enjoyed watching all the pretty colors flashing, but then again he may have just been deliriously tired :)


Of course, I had to do a little July 4th photo shoot. Couldn't resist to dress Nolan like an all American kid :)

Nolan is a goober. He would just sit in the grass all day long. However, he WILL NOT crawl in it. Snapped a few pics of him trying to get around without using his knees :)

Nolan loves his daddy

He learned how to wave this week. So stinkin' cute!

Our family downtown. We tried to get some fireworks in the background...didn't work very well.

Nolan loved the flashing colors

Just like his daddy

"S" stands for SMITH

The smiley faces were his favorite
