Memorial Day weekend/Noah's actual birthday

Mmmmm popsicles!


"Noah" caught a lot of fish with his new Cars pole!




Calvin is trying to eat flowers in this picture. He tries to eat pretty much everything. I have gotten pretty good at sweeping his mouth with my index finger and popping foreign objects out of it.
The boys with Grandma and Grandpa
We started out like this....but the water was really warm...
Please ignore my fat tummy and look at my cute little boy! Next time I will suck it in.
This is how our splashing ended :)
Calvin had a great time splashing around!
Noah got a new bug habitat for his birthday (a day early) and it came with this little magnifying glass (that is now lost, eek!). He ran around on "bug hunts" with it and had a great time!

It was hard, but we saved one present for his actual birthday.
Playing with his new favorite toy, WALL*E

Birthday cheesey eggs with WALL*E
So he's wearing a Cars hat, a Toy Story tshirt and watching WALL*E. We're a Pixar family, no?
Beautiful Calvin

We tried to get Noah in his swimsuit but he would tell us he didn't want to get in the water and end up getting in fully clothed. Boys!
Birthday Brownies!!!
We had dinner at Fritz's to watch the trains (by the way, the Shawnee location doesn't have nearly as many trains as Crown Center)


Then we went to get frozen custard at Sheridans. Noah seemed to like the gummy worms from Ryan's Dirt n Worms better than his ice cream. Now we know next time we can get ice cream and he can eat our worms and be happy :)

We ended the day with swinging...one of Noah's favorite pass times. He will swing for hours. I can't wait until he figures out how to go all by himself. Speaking of going by himself, Noah has FINALLY started using the potty for #2! Hooray.

Noah's 3rd Bday party!!!


I know these are not flattering pictures of me, but I wanted proof out there that I had a hand in making Noah's fabulous cake! I got the idea off the internet, but I didn't really think I could pull it off. But, with help from Jo and Terry....and some pointers from Ryan and Chris, I think it turned out GREAT. Sorry there are so many cake pictures on here, I am just terribly impressed with us.


This is a groggy Noah checking out his cake for the first time. Here he's pointing out all the features to Ryan. He loved the cake!


Look at the steam!


3 years old!
The singing....
The blowing out of the candles and....after a whole morning of waiting....
EATING!!!
And another blowing out the candles shot...they loaded weird
What was left after the party...so sad



He kind of took all day to open his presents, so they are scattered throughout the post..







Noah got a new set of REAL golf clubs....for 3 year olds! The next Tiger (minus the sex scadal!) in the making??? Time will tell
The boy loves the swings!

Noah's new tractor...he had a great time "mowing the grass" but he kept looking down at the wheels instead of where he was going...he'll get it soon!

Noah had a GREAT day on party day!!!! I can't believe my little guy will be 3 on Monday. He is such an amazing kid...he blows me away all the time. He is just so loving and smart and crazy and wonderful. Noah....you are a delight.
