Last Weekend

This is Noah watching/listening to his Pops playing at the Parkville Acoustic Festival. Noah had a great time dancing and running around.
This is the first flower that Noah picked for me, isn't it sweet...ok, so he just got a little carried away and that's why he "picked" it...and Ryan said "give it to Mommy" over and over again until he brought it to me, but it still got me a little teary I must admit!


Noah loves to crawl around in the water at the lake and pick up rocks.
The wheels on the dock go round and round, round and round, round and round....Ok, it's the neighbor's dock actually that has the wheels that spin, but Noah loved it. What he did not love was his life jacket. There were lots of tears involved. We think it's because he can't really walk in the water in it very well and it keeps tipping him on his back which freaks him out!


Isn't the new design just the old design only blue? This is Nikki, the new design is news to me! I like the change though!

New Design

After 14 months I thought it was time for a new look and design....

Horsin' around

Singing

Isn't this adorable? It melts my heart!!

Noah and Eli

"I wonder how far we can get before they stop us?"
Eli is Noah's second cousin (?) and is only 8 months older Noah. Eli would share his food with Noah, so sweet! Noah on the other hand is a little bit too much like Joey, and "Joey doesn't share food!!!" That's a Friend's reference in case you didn't catch it.

"I think we can break in here...you distract the big people..."
Reading buddies. It was so much fun to watch Noah and Eli "play" together, which mostly consisted of one of them following the other one around

Noah's Birthday Party (some pics I got from Kurt)

Here's a shot of the craziness! Fun Craziness!
Noah and Kate
Yummy, baseball cupcakes are tasty and fun to smash!
Present time!! Noah is getting some help from Cassidy.
I think Mommy is more excited about this present than Noah. It's a Sit-n-Spin. Noah loves it, by the way. He will sit on it and I will spin him around much to his delight.
Pre-party hanging out with Pops on the swing.
Pre-party loving on Orville the pig that has been in the Thomas family for a decade and a half. Noah loves Orville, he will run over to him and flop down on him and give him a hug. It's funny to see Noah run around carrying the pig, too. It just doesn't seem like he should be able to lug around something as big as he is.
A typical Noah face that is usually accompanied by a cute fake laugh. I think he was laughing at us running around like crazy people getting ready for the party.
Chillin' with his Grandma and Grandpa Dieker pre-party

Playing with balloons after the party. I just thought this was a cute pic! But you can tell that he needed a haircut, which we have since remedied. It was a fun birthday, we all had a great time, but I'm glad we get a year's break in between them!!

4th of July Weekend at the Lake

I am sick, I feel terrible so no labels for these pictures, I am just proud of me for getting them on the web!
