Big Cats

"One day, I heard this weird noise in this bush. I looked to see what it was and it wasn't a cheetah or anything, it was just a bird".

I feel so relieved to know there are no cheetahs in my neighbor's yard.

Trimming the Tree

It's one of my favorite times of the year. Time to decorate for Christmas. This year Noah really wanted to help me decorate the tree and gave up time playing outside to do it. I tried to give him the ornaments that were less likely to get broken since he can't reach very high on the tree and that puts them in reach of Grayson. He did a great job and I only had to rearrange a few of them. Grayson wanted to be involved, but he mostly ended up playing with a talking ornament that we have. I'm sure he'll be more helpful when it comes to taking the ornaments off the tree. Both boys had fun and the tree looked great when we were finished. We are all ready for the holidays.

Littlest Scarecrow

Noah had farm day at school today. There was a petting zoo, a family picnic in the classroom, and the kids could dress up as some sort of animal or character you might find on a farm. I made a little outfit for Noah to be a scarecrow, and he was so adorable. Everyone at the school was talking about how great he looked, and I must say, I totally agree with them.

Grayson's One Year Pics

My parent's took Noah to have pictures taken at a studio called Portrait Innovations when he was a year old. They took Grayson to the same place and the pictures are unbelievably adorable. Here are just a few of them. This boy is going to break hearts one day with those eyes.

Happy Birthday Noah

Today, my little boy turns four. The last year has flown by and I can't believe we have already made it to this day. Noah is so smart, so sweet, and so funny. He started school this year and has done really well with it so far. He gets great comments from his teachers and it seems to be making him more outgoing. He's a great big brother to Grayson and helps his with toys and other things we wants to do. He keeps us laughing all the time with his goofy little songs and sayings or silly little dances. He's loving, and sweet, and can sill melt my heart. He's one amazing little boy.

We had a small birthday party for him here at the house. He was very excited to blow out the candle on his cake and this was the first year he didn't get upset when we sang happy birthday to him.

He had a blast playing with his cousins and visiting with family. He really liked all his gifts, especially his new dinosaurs, which he had picked out himself. It was a full day of fun with family and he was so worn out at the end of it. I'm so glad we got the chance to celebrate this spunky little four year old that I love with all my heart.
