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.

Resurrection of... "the egg"

Some of the things that Noah says are just hysterical. Today we had at blast at Ryan and Baby Grace's house, dyeing Easter Eggs, eating cupcakes and playing! Noah is right in the middle where he is too rough with the babies and tries oh so hard to keep up with his older friends. Tonight after saying prayers we reminded Noah about tomorrow's Easter egg hunt and then talked about Easter. We asked "Noah" We celebrate the Resurrection of? and he said "the egg". We laughed and quickly reminded him of this month's memory verse "He is not here, He has risen, just as He said" Matthew 28:7 . That although decorating eggs and egg hunts are fun we are celebrating the resurrection of JESUS! But still, how funny.
