Nolden Snapshots

Life has been pretty good here at the Nolden household.  Andy is getting better and better at nap time and is now sleeping in his crib in his room which makes his parents very happy :)  He's been sleeping through the night for awhile now, but his naps range from 45 min long to hours long so you just never know what to expect come naptime.  He's a very happy, chill kid though and only cries when he's hungry or is putting himself down to sleep.

Jake is doing great-we've been practicing and learning our ABCs.  Thanks to a leap frog letter factory DVD and some ABC puzzles and rug in his room he gets lots of repetition.  He's got most of his letters and their sounds down.  It's fun to see him grow up.

Cody recently got called to be the priest quorum advisor in our ward and is loving it so far.  His job is going well and I'm so proud of how hard he's working/all he's accomplishing.

Riley (our trouble-making havanese) turned one yesterday.  His favorite activities include: fishing trash out of the trashcan and tearing it up in little pieces and spreading it around our front room, playing tug of war, and pulling the socks off of Jake's feet.  We were going to take him to Petco yesterday for a lil field trip to pick out a new toy but Jake's come down with a cold so we'll have to do that next week.

I'm excited for 2015 and having fun with my boys and watching them grow up, not to mention, come Aug, it'll be our 5th Anniversary and to celebrate we'll be taking a trip to London!  Traveling is one of the things we want to do with each other over the years.
(we like to go somewhere for our anniversaries even if it's a lil local 2 day trip etc, and then every 5 years we'll try to take a big trip-have a list of places we want to see over the years that we've been saving up for for the past 5 years).  I can't wait!  We'll have to start planning and seeing what we want to do/what we want to see :)

It'll be a great year!
