Catching up!

I have entered the world of Facebook and it is becoming a bit addicting. I don't want to neglect my blog and the adventures or Noah.
Today I have to admit was ROUGH! Ever turn Noah was whining and saying NO! and when I discplined him he immediately whined "DADDY!". He had several corrections throughout the day which is just exhausting. As soon as Phillip pulled up I "handed him" over.
We did have a great day this past Saturday enjoying the beautiful weather. We went to the choo choo with the slide at the Square Noah loves it and it was nice enough to pack our lunch. Noah brought his soccer ball and was great about sharing it... We work on sharing everyday so this is a huge improvement.
Noah has picked up the concept of "toe jam" it is hysterical yet a little gross at the same time. Every am and most diapers changes he will hold up his foot and say "clean my toe jams please". I think he likes the feeling of the cool wipe on his sweaty boy feet!
Noah's prayers at night have continued to become more meaningful as he understands that Mommy has a boo boo on her head and that along with us he has several friends that are praying for a little bro/sis. But without fail when he prays for his Papa he prays and thanks God for cookies too. These days they go together. And he certainly can't pray for 1 Aunt or cousin without praying for them all. It is precious. He also has a new toddler devotional book and he asks for it every morning and every bedtime. He points to it and says "that deboationals" of something like that.
Today we spent a lot of time at one of our favorite playgrounds and had a picnic. Any time to eat is a favorite of Noah's but a picnic is VERY special. After napping over at a friends we arrived home and had fun with our neighbors playing a combination of football, soccer, races and catch.

What do you think?

Should I change the crumby cupcake face pic???

A "Sleepover"

Noah's Buddy Weston came over on Friday while his parents had an adult only event to attend. The boys played in the sand on the playground, went on the swing and slide, rode bikes (well tricycles really)played on the see-saw and of course had the company of all the neighborhood kids. Noah's older friend (Mason from next door who is 9) also had a friend over named Weston. All the boys thought that was "so cool".

Can you believe more Easter pics...

After all the activity leading up to last Sunday, I never posted pictures of the family on Easter Sunday and Noah in his seersucker suit!

EASTER 2008

Here it goes: Dyeing eggs, hiding eggs, hunting for eggs, pony rides, ring toss, face painting, cookie decorating, jumpy castles, petting zoo,lots of chocolate, brunch at Grandma's and most importantly an AMAZING service at our church Cumberland Community Church to celebrate that our Savior is Alive!!!
Who knew that once you had kids a 1 Day holiday like a birthday or Easter lasts for a week or even a month.
Here are some of our favorite pictures from this past weekend!

He FLOATED!

Just a quick Atta boy Noah! Today he floated on his back by himself for the 1st time. This only lesson #6. Sarah (of Sarah's School of Fish) his teacher said he floated for 10 sec and than again for 20 sec. This is a big milestone for Noah since that was the most "scary" thing about swim lessons for him so far. We made the biggest deal calling Daddy and Grammy and telling everyone at the Harry's when we went for groceries.
I have so many great pic and stories to tell from Easter but Noah is itching to go outside on this beautiful afternoon!

Fun with My Neighbors

I have prayed and prayed for neighbors that come out and play. It seems with each day that we have nicer weather more and more kids are coming out of their houses. Praise God! Noah has always played with the 3 kids next year that are 6, 9 & 12. Noah thinks Mason (the 9 year old) is the greatest "thing" and FayF who is 6 (Faith) is not too bad herself. Noah gets right in playing with them, tackle football, soccer, baseball, see-sawing and jumping on the trampoline (which makes me the most nervous).

We have a blast at our little neighborhood playground where no matter how much you talk up the slide, swings, sand toys and other kids, Noah is most interested in of course doing the ONE thing we direct him not to do... Throw Sand.. Aside from it being rude and how it hurts when it gets in someones eyes etc. It is somewhat selfish on my part. Try getting sand out of Noah's hair! Not at all an easy task.
