October 2012

Lucas and I went to the USU vs BYU game. It was a horrible game!

We took Caden and Halle to the BYU vs Oregon St. game. I wish BYU would let you bring food in. It made for a very long game because they kept begging for food. Lucas gave in and bought a cougar tail. YUMMY!

We got to go to Black Island Farm with Halle's preschool class. We've lived in Syracuse for 5 years and this is the first time I've been. It was a lot of fun  and the kids loved it!

We went on a hay ride.

All the kids got to pick their own pumpkin.

This is a picture of all the kids that came.

 Halle, Caden, and Gabe

We loved the giant slide!

Caden was brave and went head first.

They even had pig races.

And of course we had to ride the train. Caden and Gabe should've found a bigger car. Kent was ok riding in the pink one with Halle.

Noah and Landon had to take all the Kleenexes out of the box. Noah has had a lot of practice with this.

The continuing saga of swimming lessons...

Caden actually got on the diving board. Maybe he'll jump off next time.

He likes to jump off the side instead

Halloween

Halle was Snow White and Caden was Luigi

And Noah was the cutest Charlie Brown

Aunt Em was nice enough to come take them trick or treating because Lucas had class.

Our cool Angry Bird and Aggie pumpkins

We've been to a lot of football games. Lucas took Caden and Halle to the USU vs. Texas State game.

And now onto November...

September 2012

Halle started preschool the first part of September. We decided to do the neighborhood preschool this year so I get to teach every couple of weeks. Halle is the only girl. I thought it would affect her more, but she holds her own against all the boys. She's a tough girl.

Noah started walking all over the place. He gets into everything! He is a very curious boy.

 

 

Lucas, Trent and I went to the USU vs. Utah football game. It was awesome! Go Aggies!!

 

My Grandpa B celebrated his 83rd birthday. It was fun to have everyone there to celebrate.

The cake was delicious!

Halle finally graduated from a toddler bed to a big girl bed! I know it should've happened a while ago.

Catch Up

It looks like I have a lot of catching up to do. I don't know why I do this to myself. Here we go...

Before Caden started school we went to Cowabunga Bay. I liked that it was very kid friendly, but I thought it would be bigger. I definitely wouldn't pay full price for it, but it was fun for one day. The kids liked the lazy river and the kids cove area. I liked that you didn't have to pay for parking or tubes. That was a bonus!

We bought a Groupon that came with a night's stay at the Comfort Inn next door. The kids really thought we were on vacation. I liked that the drive home was only an hour.

Noah turned 1 year old on August 12th!

He was in heaven when everyone was singing Happy Birthday to him. He was grinning from ear to ear.

I decided to do a brownie cake for him. I know I'm no fun. I figured he was just going to destroy it anyways.

Present time!!

He even shared his toys with Landon.

OPEN IT NOW!!!

Much better...

Noah had a lot of fun playing with all his cousins.

Height- 29.25 in. 33rd percentile

Head- 19 92nd percentile

About Noah

Noah can't walk yet unless he's pushing something around. He'll push anything: chairs, bar stools, toys, strollers. He loves cars!!! He plays with them and says vrooom vrooom. He thinks every picture is Jesus because I point out the picture of Jesus in our living room to him all the time. His favorite food is honey nut cheerios.

 

He loves his cousin Eva

 

Caden started 1st grade on August 14th. I'm sad that he goes to school all day. We miss him! So far he has really enjoyed it. He said his favorite part is lunch and recess. (isn't that every kid's favorite part)

Lucas' parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. We had a big party at Dave and April's.

Here's to 40 more years!

We went boating with our neighbors, the Holbrooks.  We had a lot of fun except for one little incident. (don't ask)

The kids were so brave!
