Our Coming Attraction

Lovely Love my Family

I can't believe we got this candid. It's very hard to get pictures with both kids looking at the camera, let alone both of them smiling.
Noah just turned THREE on May 2nd. We had a GREAT party for him. His cake is a turtle... hopefully, that is obvious. I think the hit of the cake were the candy rocks that surrounded the turtle. At least Grandma Karen really liked them. Noah loved his party and had a great time with cousins and friends. Shawn made him a water table which he plays with pretty much every day. It's going to be so great when the days are really hot. If we can only convince him to stop putting the puppy in it! :) Grandma Chris also made him his very own CAPE that has his initial on it. He LOVES it and wants to wear it all the time.
This is from Easter, but I haven't updated for a while. We dyed eggs again this year and Noah had a blast. He really likes to eat the hard-boiled eggs, but he likes to crack them even more. It's confusing to him when I tell him he can't crack the raw eggs. As for Easter, he really didn't care about the egg hunt. I guess I'm glad he doesn't care. I will take that over getting upset about the hunt any day!
Here's silly Cecilia and Aunalie. Cecilia is turning 5 this year and has been the sweetest little girl possible (and so SO smart, not that I'm biased). She and Noah are really great buds and play so well together. Probably because Noah loves Cecilia and thinks she's the greatest!! Aunalie thinks cousin Cecilia is pretty awesome too.
Here we are again. My friend Robyn put up the best post on her blog about being a mother. I really want to cut and paste it, but I won't. Anyway, it's so great to have friends like her. So if you want to know how I feel about being a mother, check out her blog! Some days I am overwhelmed with the responsibilities, the cleaning, and the struggles that just come along with a toddler and a tweener. But EVERY day I'm overwhelmed with the blessings God has given our family.
