Two boys and a Princess

Our Trip To B -Town

We drove across town to see Kim and Jeff for the weekend. We had a fun time seeing everyone again. Especially Miss Isabel and Miss Paige! Noah loved these two crazy girls!

Noah woke the house pretty early the first night...make that both nights. Noah had to explore everything, while Eli looked on with the all knowing stink eye!

We made our way out to several stores. Here I stayed with the boys while Kim ran inside Freddy's. They were enjoying their apple slices. This was Noah's second attempt at eating them and it went very well. He loves them now.

Off to Costco!

...and the water park. Behind us is a series of "submarines" that spit up water every few minutes. Noah was not sure what to make of them. Each time they went off it scared him. Eli was an old pro.

We loved playing outside while waiting for Jeff and Tony to come home from a husky game. Here Noah see's Eli in the pool....watch the progression of events...

Noah is now with Eli...

Noah blesses Eli

The boys are bonded for life and proceed to rock the pool for good luck!

Soon after the family was together as both daddies came home safe and sound!

Nick's Birthday Celebration

We all gathered at Papa and Mor Mor's for Nick's 26th b-day. We always love to see everyone and catch up. Noah begins the evening by inspecting all the rocks.

Papa can't resist!

As Noah went around back to inspect those rocks, we discovered the water hose...for a very long time. We got soaked actually and needed an emergency tub afterwards. Noah was so fascinated and could not figure out why the water would occasionally stop coming out and then suddenly show up again. This went on for quite a while. Cheap entertainment...ya can't beat it.

This is also an old time fav of Papa and Noah's. A ride on the shovel...

Once Noah saw us place cans inside the bin, he had to also see what it was all about.

Everyone enjoyed hanging outside where it was much cooler. These pics are from Noah's eye view.

A rare moment with everyone together.

Noah gives Nick a B day hug.

Our New Fav's

To start off, the fridge is a very exiting place. Who knew?

...except when the doors are closed for the night...

EVERY morning we rearrange the pantry. Hot coco packets seem to get the most abuse. Take them out...give some to Spender...put them back in...save one for later...

Fleeing the scene, guilty!

Out of nowhere Noah can get into chairs himself. So Tony is hoping he will start enjoying his Husky seat.

We also discovered the snow ball maker/thrower which couldn't be put down to eat of course!

Noah and Spender play toys all day long. Another exiting event now is Noah unrolls all the toilet paper and makes a run for it, then Spender snatches it and rips it to shreds and then it repeats until the roll is gone. All the while Noah is laughing uncontrollably... I promise to blog it soon.

Our 1 year check up!

We had our big boy check up today and to kill time we saw Mor Mor at work, and then took a walk around outside. I just couldn't believe we were here a year ago and now he walks himself in!

Here is Dr. Cummings. Our doc was on vacation, but Noah constantly wanted her to hold him. She is so nice I can see why.

And for those inquiring...he is only 23 pds and 15 oz. Perfect for his height. She was very impressed however that he could do animal sounds. Woof and moo!

Thank you for blogging with us this last year it has been a joy. Be sure to post comments and vote on the random questions that come up in the right hand side. If only 4 of you vote then I either should think of better questions or just remove all the fun forever...you decide. ")
