Noah's Big Day

I got kind of setimental on Noah's Birthday, It made me realize I had been a mom for five years. He made me a mom five years ago. What a huge honor it is to be his MOM. There are two things Noah really wanted for his Birthday. A pinata and breakfast in bed. He finally got it. Micah's birthday came, Mother's day came, Father's day came, and he helped fix us all breakfast, but he was sure to remind us that he wanted the same treatment on his birthday. What was funny about it though, is he could not stay in bed for anything. He is an early riser and mom and dad aren't, so it took us a while and some prompting from his sister to get out of bed. But after all was said and done, he finally got his breakfast in bed. He was very excited to open presents. But we made him wait till after stake conference. The first thing he opened was a card from Grandma and Grandpa Hyde. We explained that the piece of paper was really money. He got excited and said it was for his new bike, then later it was for "Heeleys" (shoes with wheels on them). We will have to see what the check turns into. The kids will always love their cutely decotrated packages from Grandma and Grandpa Farr. They scored big. He loves bored games. Noah's pirate ship, he has been wanting one since his cousin Porter got one for his birthday. Daddy couldn't get it put together fast enough. Gotta get some more cake in. Sister too. But no more for brother, not till his b-day. Oh my Bubba! How you have grown. You are such a handsome and smart little guy. We look forward to watching you grow and becoming all the amazing things we know that you will be. We LOVE you! Just as a little side note, their was a ship wreck while I was putting the kids to bed. I really think he was pretty proud of himself.

Noah's Pirate Party!

Happy 5th Birthday Noah!!! What a handsome guy! He may only be 5, but I am scared for those dating years. Look out girls! The Awesome Pirate Cake The Blowing out of candles. The inevitable licking of cake decorations. The most cute piratess I ever saw. ARRRGH! A Pirate baby! Ready for the plundering. We hope he had a good time. Mom did last minute arranging for this. She is just not good at committing to things. A few day before she called a few friends who were luckly able to come, and it seemed to go pretty well. One way or another he turned five, I just hope he had a squash-buckling-good time doing it.

Noah's last Preschool Graduation

This is Noah's second, but last preschool graduation. This is his teacher Mrs. B. I literally don't know her last name, this is all we ever called her. Noah wasn't so sure about her at first, but in the end he really came to enjoy her as a teacher. There was singing at the graduation. It was really good! Noah always came home singing new songs. This is Johnny Nomani, Noah's awesome friend from church. His mom said he is pretty sad Noah wasn't going to hus school next year, and insisted she make him a lai. Morgan and Sierra Noah and his proud mom. Noah's bestest buddy Morgan. They really didn't know each other that well when they started, but they have really become great friends. Some deep contemplation about the future. He REALLY is looking forward to Kindergarten, although I know he will miss being at Little Tigers Preschool.

Maken' Dad home sick

We have lived here almost three years and been to cook park thousands of times. But yet today is the first time we have seen the duck pond.

Strolling through the Strawberry Patch

We went to a nearby Strawberry patch and did some picking.

The Getaway

This was the first trip John and I have taken alone since we has Noah. I set it up as a surprise to celebrate his being done with third year. He got a whole weekend to make the change from being a Junior to a Senior in Medical school. It was a very nice night away at a Bed and Breakfast that overlooked the ocean. We just got to spread our wings and fly away. CHEESE! I found this seashell for Micah. I thought it was beautiful. I think she did too, but it still was ruined rather quickly. Pops! John and I thought of you when we saw this Canadian goose on the beach. What is he doing there? Sorry you can't see it well.
