I just can't even believe my Nolie, Nolie Polie, Napoleon, No-an, Nonan, is already 4!!?? wow! he is such an energetic, funny, spunky, sweet, headstrong, stubborn and frustrating but loving, cuddly little boy. He has taught me so much in his 4 years, and given me at least half of the grays that are un-welcomly residing on my head at my young age of 32 :( Thanks to the big man upstairs who decided i was worthly to be this boys momma, I truly am blessed regardless of the many challenging moments we have have together because we have just as many amazing and wonderful moments. Anyway, enough of the 'sap' --time to PARTY! because Nolan truly is the life of a party (when he wants to be).... :)

| i worked hard on the accessories because they sell basically NOTHING in the stores for a minion party.... thank god for pinterest and being a little crafty! |
 |
| this is the evil minion pinata that i made, i drew it all out and cut it all out by hand, i looked at a picture, but it was NOT easy, but man it is cute! and Nolan absolutely LOVED it and it make the 2 hours it took and glue gun burned fingers nothing to see that excitement, he hugged it, held it, said this is the best thing EVER, wanted to sleep with it but i told him that probably wasn't the best idea. I won't lie, it totally made my day that he really appreciated it!! |
 |
| it's hard to see, but we rented a big open building and it was so hot in there but the kids had a great time running, riding bikes and jumping in the bouncy house |
 |
| griff had a blast |
 |
| his despicable face---i'm guessing he is mad that he couldn't have something or that he realized his shirt is way to small..lol (we love us some party coordinated shirts in this family tho) i had one but it was too darn hot to wear!! |
 |
| he loved his buddy Lane's John Deere riding toy... Santa, you taking notes? |

 |
| a bit of cousin fun... we tried to go see Despicable Me II again, sticking with our party theme, but the theatre's movie machine broke so we went across town and watched Percy Jackson, we'd already seen it, but Nolan likes Percy a lot. And I think those movies are pretty good too! What a fun birthday! |

| i had to help out alot, it was flying all over and i was scared it was going to break considering i made it all by hand, i wasn't sure how long it would last, the foot was the weak spot and luckily we just got thru everyone getting one 'wack' we made the big strong kids wait til the end :) |

cute boy
everyone had fun watching him enjoy the pool, and his chubby budda belly..he is quite a ham. he also enjoyed the corn on the cob from the shrimp boil, and my dad's work friend brought some clam dip, omg, smelled terrible, but boy he went to town on that stuff, he LOVED it, it was pretty hilarious.
