Nolan's Field Day and 7th Birthday

A couple weeks ago, Nolan had his first school Field Day. Check out his long jump:

This is Nolan's 1st Grade Class:
On October 3rd, Nolan turned 7! We celebrated by going to Mr. Bigg's that afternoon. He chose to play laser tag with his cousins and had a blast. They also got to play a few video games at the arcade.

The next day Nolan had a sports party with some of his friends from school at our rec center.

While Grandma and Grandpa Miller were on their mission, Nolan discovered his love for carrot cake. I told him that Grandma Dorothy makes the best carrot cake in the world, and he decided that was what he wanted for his birthday cake (which was 8 months away at the time). Grandma decided to play a joke on him and made him a Bugs Bunny cake with a carrot on it, and when he saw it she said, "Here's your cake with a carrot on it...isn't that what you wanted?" He was very polite and didn't want to hurt her feelings, so he slowly nodded his head, but we could see the disappointment in his eyes. She told him she was just teasing, that it was a real carrot cake, and he thought it was pretty funny. He agreed that it was delicious. And I owe Dorothy a huge thanks for making Nolan's cake this year (she took pity on me after seeing the dowels holding up Nicole's cake...and because I was 8 1/2 months pregnant).

We can't believe our little boy is growing up so fast! He's such a great kid and we're proud of him every day.
