Living the Dream

Noah had a wonderful birthday party.  Thanks to everyone who was able to come and celebrate with us.  We are so blessed to have such great friends and family.  Noah was perfect all day.  I am so proud to be his mom!

We did a baseball theme for his party.  I was definitely proud of the cake.  I made it myself!

He totally took advantage of the opportunity to eat.  I think he would have finished the entire cake if I would have let him.  

Of course he started out nice and clean.

And then, he got messy!

He tried to sit still for presents, but that didn’t work out too well.

He is so great!  What a party! 

I threw a small surprise dinner party for my mom and dad’s 35th wedding anniversary.  I was sure I was going to let the secret out, but I held it in, and they were definitely surprised.  I am so thankful for their marriage and commitment to one another.

My nephew Nate was in town last week.  We had a great time playing with him.  Noah really loves following him around.

Noah is getting better at the pool.  Nate enjoyed it too! 

Noah played outside with Nate one evening last week.  It was the first time I really saw him as a little boy.  His legs were all banged up and his cheeks were bright red (and he smelled like the outside!) 

When Abatha got in town, we had to make our shopping trip.  These boys are troopers.

We love you Nate and Abatha!
