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.

Fun in the Sun!

After mom and Deeken got back from Utah we needed to spend some fun time together, so we hit the park for some time in the sun. Deeken Noah Micah Moo Micah is learning very quickly on this bar. She is taking lessons from her borther as you can see below. Let's hope this isn't the way she gets her first broken arm. Look mom, one hand! Noah had learned to completely pump himself now. Sooooo Nice. Swinging the day away. I love this pic of these two. It sort or shows their relationship. Micah is always touch some piece of Deekens body...Toes, hands, ears. And he usually just endures it, while smiling away.
