Grandma and Grandpa Scribner took the two older ones and the two older cousins to see Elmo in Concert last weekend through the snowmagedon! They actually went on Sunday, but the kids had a GREAT time!!! My favorite picture is the one with Oscar the Grouch!!

January 2012 Update

2012-01-21T14:46:00.003-06:00

I have not uploaded ANY pictures from my camera in SO long! I had 300+ just sitting on my computer. I guess it's taken me a month to recover from the craziness that was Christmas! Or, I'm just too lazy. Maybe a combo of both. I have SO many funny, cute pictures (and blurry non-usuable ones! yahoo! just kidding) but I'm going to put on the most recent. In other news, Mason is walking! He started somewhere around the New Year but now he is taking several steps. He's still pretty wobbly and sometimes he just gives up and starts crawling, but he's digging the walking more and more. Slow down, Mason, slowwwww down! Speaking of moving fast, Noah is moving non-stop. Apparently I'm not feeling the cabin fever as much as he is, because that boy is busy. He is driving me NUTS busy. Seriously, if that child does not work outside or runs marathons for a living, then I don't know what he's going to do. He. never. stops! He is a busy body, that's for sure. Thank goodness for the YMCA! It has saved me, and my kids! Aunalie is almost three going on 13. Little attitude. At least we are prepared for it this time. ha ha! She's mostly still sweet with a splash of sass. So far, I thought 3 was hard, but looks like 4 1/2 is the hardest. OH, and if you notice in my pictures, Noah is wearing his Woody vest. That has been our latest and greatest ongoing daily, um... battle, fun, whatever you want to call it. He likes to wear it and pretend he is Aladdin or Hiccup the Horrendous (How to Train your dragon, excellent movie!!). However, I prefer he be Hiccup because at least he wears clothing and boots. Aladdin lives in the desert and doesn't get frostbit if he goes outside wearing only a vest. Ugh... Aunalie has decided that she enjoys the freedom from clothing as well. Ah well...

Merry Christmas

Scribner Cousins and Halloween

2011-11-01T08:37:00.002-05:00

I stole these pictures from Lisa Scribner's blog (so thank you Lisa!), because, of course, my camera died while we were there... and I wasn't getting very good pictures anyway. BUT, this was the Children's Museum and we had a blast playing with Alvin, Simon and THEODORE! (<-have to sing that)

Snow White and Simon

Dopey and Theodore (not in costume)

Alvin and Woody, and look, they match!!

Happy Halloween!!

This is Noah showing off his "ghost" that he drew earlier.

"Hey Snow White, stand next to Dopey." This is close enough.

I said give me mad. I guess that's one way of defining it, Aunalie. :)

It's blurry, but adorable.

This is about as good as it gets these days. Getting them all to look a the camera is a success!

Thank you for WASHable markers, Crayola!

LOVING the camera these days!

Thank you, also to Randy Pausch for his last lecture... and good advice!

Will the real Mason please sit up?

This gorilla moment was amazing! When Shawn held up Mason, the gorilla was wiggling his finger with Mason's hand. SO awesome!

SO close... MASON!!!

WHOOAAAAAAA!!!! CRAWLING? (well, not yet) but seriously, can I chase three kids??!!! Little fart!!! I said he was the wiggliest child EVER! He has learned to shake that rear end while being on his knees! I thought I had a few more months. I probably still do, but who knows. Mason is full of surprises!

Summer Firsts and other stuff

2011-07-29T14:37:00.005-05:00

I'm sure I will miss quite a lot of things, but I'm going to write all I know for now.
Mason has been rolling on his stomach from back for a while, which is incredible and kind of scary as he's only 4 and a half months old. I also think he is teething and I'm sure I will see a first tooth in a month or so. He reminds me SO much of Noah, it's bizarre. Everything is new for Mason regarding swimming pools and grandma's house and OH, eating! We aren't exactly starting the eating with great enthusiam like we did with the others, but he has had pears and applesauce. It's more that he likes to sit in the high chair at dinner with us. That kid is already my busiest and wiggliest child by far. He also giggles all the time now, when he isn't sucking on his fists and crying (probably because of pain).

Aunalie finger painted for the first time. Which was fun. She is such a girlie girl and nothing like Noah when it comes to finger painting. She literally uses one finger and dabs the paper. It's adorable. Noah walks away from the table covered in paint. It's more like body painting when he does it. That's why it is imperative that finger painting is a naked activity. ha ha! Aunalie is also starting to become very particular as far as dressing is concerned. She has favorite clothing and it may or may not match. I guess that is Karma. We also watched Snow White for the first time this summer and no, I have never seen it! Aunalie LOVED it. She may be Snow White for Halloween!

Noah is amazing me these days with his use of the scissors. He can cut figures out of coloring books REALLY well, following the lines. I find a million little tiny scraps of paper on the kitchen floor, but I don't mind because it usually takes about 20 minutes of his concentration to do this. It's wonderful and quite impressive I might say. He says he misses his preschool and his friends. Shawn introduced Noah to Star Wars and I'm competing with Harry Potter... tee hee. I am SO excited to start reading those books to my children. I might start in a year or two with Noah.
Noah is also improving his swimming skills as we take him to the pool at the very least once a week. This week we went three times in Hebron.

Shawn just got back from working in Boston and he got to visit the ocean and Harvard. He said it was amazing and he could live out there. Too bad it would be SO far away from our family and friends! I could use a break from the heat too! But he did say that the traffic was insane and scary sometimes. I don't know if I could deal with that.

Like I said, I'm sure I left a lot out, but I hit some highlights. The summer went WAY too fast even though at times I felt like we were stuck inside like it were February. Our 3rd of July party came and went with a HUGE bang, or a million. We had a great group of people and an excellent spread of food! We headed down to Hebron, saw the parade and lit off some of our own fireworks. My dad turned 60 this summer and we had a surprise party for him which was fun, partied again in Hebron for a few days. Now we head into August, ready to celebrate Shawn's birthday, anticipating a busy year of preschool, and are getting ready for a fun year of MOPS, vb reffing and the Big 10!

June Fun

Middle of JUNE... Already!!

2011-06-15T16:33:00.003-05:00

Okay, here are some recent pictures of my babies. I just get a kick out of how Mason looks like a deer in headlights in MOST (not all) but most of his pictures. Of course the ones where he is smiling are kind of blurry. Shawn and I need to team up on getting more smiling pictures, I guess. But...it's just sooo hard to walk away from him when he's smiling so big to run and get the camera. In other summer news, Noah is naked as much as he possibly can be (this is really nothing new). However, when his "girlfriend" Emma comes to visit across the street, he can get his clothes on in 60 seconds flat! Too bad Emma wasn't around to help during preschool. He's also riding his bike ALL the time and looooooves "swimming" this year!
Aunalie is Noah's little shadow. Whatever he says, Aunalie is sure to repeat it. It's so cute. Shawn took Aunalie on a father-daughter date about a month ago. He took her to Applebee's and then let her run around the mall and basically be the one who gets to decide what fun they were going to have. Shawn said that she walked behind him like she didn't know what to do. However, after a while, when he asked her if she wanted to go home to see mommy, Noah and Mason, she quickly said NO! ha ha!

For Fun..

2011-05-08T17:53:00.003-05:00

Mason and Noah don't really look alike to me, but going through some of Noah's old photos, they definitely have some of the same facial expressions. Mason does remind me of Noah a LOT as far as temperament. God help us, ha ha! Just kidding. I did look through some pictures of Noah and Aunalie when Aunalie was 2 months old, and not surprisingly, I don't have a WHOLE lot of Noah holding her. Aunalie is just a wee bit more gentle with Mason than Noah was with Aunalie and with Mason. :)

Zoo Trip 2011

2011-05-08T17:07:00.003-05:00

We had another fun trip up to the Henry Doorly Zoo this year. Again, the kids really wanted to run and climb more than spend time looking at the animals. However, when I asked Aunalie what animals she saw at the zoo, she says, "Monkeys! Hit the window!" When we were looking at the gorillas, the big daddy gorilla came over and hit the window. It made me jump back, but of course Aunalie just stood there looking. She did eventually say, "hold me."

Noah Turns 4

2011-05-08T16:45:00.005-05:00

Noah had a GREAT 4th birthday with too many presents, sugar and lots of love and family! For his birthday cake, he never quite told me what he wanted, so I made him a cake of all the things he loves (and I made it blue because that's his favorite color). I also tried my hand at making Fondant for the frosting. It wasn't too hard and actually was kind of fun! (I might be addicted to the food network) Noah, of course, loved it and I will add that the stuff that I made (the blue fondant) tasted better than the other store-bought stuff and was a LOT cheaper. Plus, I had so much left over that I used it to make some blue "N's" to put on sugar cookies that he could take to preschool. Overall, I think his birthday weekend was a success. Shawn and I got him his first bike and he loves riding it, still... but he won't ride it very far, yet. We also gave him some scotch tape, as you can see, and he is using it very wisely *insert sarcastic tone here*. Ah well, he loves tape AND scissors. I guess those two go hand in hand. ha ha!

This is at the end of the day... the kids were enjoying sitting and eating an apple... (and spacing out!)
"More cotton candy, please!" Daddy was hoarding it. Ha ha! Just kidding.

Roca never disappoints. We had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa Wiedel! Could not have been a more beautiful day.

The Trip to the Real Zoo

2010-06-04T23:00:00.003-05:00

Besides it being so busy on a Thursday, it was perfect weather and we had a GREAT time on our annual trip to the Henry Doorly Zoo. Noah really was interested this year! He was probably pooped, but he cried all the way to the van because he didn't want to go. But as soon as he got in his chair and we were on the road, he was asleep. Aunalie really liked the animals too, but she fell asleep in the gorillas. Overall, it was pretty darn fun!

Wonder Pets!! YAY!!

Lovely Love my Family

2010-05-23T18:39:00.002-05:00

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.

Like Mother, Like Daughter

2010-05-23T18:30:00.003-05:00

I love doing these side-by-side pictures to compare. As you can see, Aunalie is definitely her own little self. What a personality this little girl has. Just a little update, she is now about 14 months old... she's not quite walking, which is confusing because she refuses to go down the stairs any other way but by standing. She's talking up a storm (at least in baby babbling) but my mom and I are pretty sure she said Gah-ma the other day and reached for Grandma. She says ma-ma, da-da, ba-ba, puh-pah (puppy), wa-wa (noah) and noo-noo-noo (no-no). I don't remember Noah talking as much, but she's a girl, so that explains it. She's teething, but that seems to be continuous since she was about 5 months old. Some days are worse than others, but at least she cut her 7th tooth a week or so ago. There will be more to come, hopefully... but I thought since I actually have a minute to breath and I finished watching the first season of Glee, I could actually do something like post a picture of my little diva. She is doing great and is so sweet!

Quote of the Month (Feb. 2010)

2010-02-15T20:46:00.002-06:00

I (Carrie) was in the bathroom experiencing what only several other mothers can relate to, trying to go with kids all around me. When I shouted out, "Shawn, help!" Noah goes, "I have an idea, I can wipe mommy's bottom!" That is definitely original and also very thoughtful, but that's not the kind of help I was thinking of. It was SO funny!

The Scribner Family: What's On Your Mind in 2009?

2009-12-20T16:41:00.006-06:00

Aunalie Scribner thinks so far life has made me pretty happy. Mommy and daddy make me smile a lot and I like the funny moving hairy things in our house. I have a pretty voice and love to sing, mommy says I sound like an alley cat sometimes! I don't know what that sounds like, but I bet it's real pretty. When I'm not singing, I talk to my baby. I call her BAH-BAH. I say ma-ma, da-da, gee-gee... I'm not really sure what they mean, but mommy and daddy like it. My brother likes to hug me HARD and sometimes he tackles me? He makes me laugh sometimes, but usually when he comes around, I cry. I'm so close to getting into all the fun toys and maybe someday soon, I'll catch one of those funny hairy things. And even better, I'll get away from my brother's huge bear hugs.

Noah Scribner says where's new blue Lightning A-queen? I hear that noises. Mommy hold you. Daddy, be careful, daddy! I'm sorry, Aunalie... I don't mean dat. Mommy, hide! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, Kitty scared! I eat playdoh. Fire alarm loud. I'm not tired. "Noah did you poop?" -Dad, "No, Aunalie pooped!" -Noah. I try it, I like it. Mommy kiss it. Where Aunalie go? I want crackers. NO, I NO WANT CRACKERS! ...W, X, Y and Z... now I wonder what you are, up above the world so highhhh... Mommy, where ARE YOU? And, Thank you Jesus for CAKE!

Carrie Scribner thinks I slept better the month after my daughter was born than the two months before but now I'm exhausted from carrying around my 25 pound bowling ball. Turning 30 in November was a blast and I totally rocked that Kelly Clarkson song. Staying home with two children 22 months apart has been GREAT, but of course, challenging. I'm still waiting for Noah to get sick of tackling his sister, but I love watching them play and learn at an incredible rate! I've also decided to help out with MOPS this year by being on the steering team. I really LOVE MOPS, so much so, that I actually go to two different groups. I'm really digging the basement my husband built for me and the kiddos, and I hopefully will not flood it ever again! In 2010, I look forward to first, third and 30th birthdays(Shawn's)... keeping up with people on facebook and our first family vacation (since Aunalie joined us last March) to Minnesota AND/or Colorado!
Shawn Scribner can't believe how busy he is all the time. I'm either working on the house, changing poopy diapers or putting my face on Zach from Saved by the Bell. I'm entering year 3 of working for Bosch and like it a LOT. I mostly finished the basement (bathroom still in progress) and was only slightly upset to come home two weeks after the carpet was installed to see it mildly flooded. I am hoping in 2010 my son will start to help out around the house with cleaning, snow shoveling, and mowing. I really just hope my son stops trying to eat dirt, playdoh, and chalk and stops smashing things into his sisters head. I love watching Noah play with all the neighborhood boys, he loves playing with other kids even if he has never met them before, he has a very outgoing personality. Aunalie is my little princess, her laugh makes my day.

Merry Christmas from Shawn, Carrie, Noah and Aunalie! Have a GREAT year in 2010! God Bless!

Here's Noah watching Hebron's 4th of July Parade. No offense to Hebron, but I always thought the parade was lame because all it is is firetrucks, tractors and cars. Turns out this was Noah's personal heaven. Not to mention the candy and free watermelon. I can safely say that I have never seen my son so engaged in something as he was here. It was the first time in his life he sat and watched something for an extended period of time. So, thank you Hebron parade... thank you.

Aunalie at Four Months

Fun Water Park

2009-07-01T07:48:00.003-05:00

For all the families out there who are looking for a fun water park, I suggest Columbus, Nebraska. It's VERY kid friendly and adult friendly. There is a gradual incline so the small ones can go in slowly, along with a few little slides and swings for infants/toddlers. There's also a lazy river for everyone and then a few bigger slides (for people 4' tall)! It's UBER fun and really a nice little place. Kids 4 and under are FREE!
Every year, we head up to Columbus to visit aunts, cousins and grandmas and go swimming for a day, and it's really nice. Kids have so much fun! Even the kids from Colorado look forward to the water park. Check out pics below!

Happy Birthday Cecilia!

2009-06-29T13:25:00.004-05:00

Cecilia: "Happy Birthday TO MEEEEE!" I guess my mom overheard her saying, "I couldn't believe I was going to be four! Had to keep asking my mom!" She is such a character!

Tiara's are for girls.... Crazy sparkly hats are for boys, then!

Grandpa Wiedel had a LOT of fun at Lost in Fun. He had to rest and hold Aunalie for a while.
I think the bubble machine was a hit. Noah tried to eat the bubbles... thanks to Grandpa.
Those blow up things are fun, but exhausting! I don't know how Noah did it for like an hour! I was so tired after being in there for 15 minutes!

Aunalie at Three Months

2009-06-20T13:11:00.003-05:00

This is our super happy bowling ball! WEEEEEE! We went to weigh her this past week, she weighed 15 lbs 13.6 ounces. That was on an empty stomach, so I fed her and weighed her again (also to see how much she was getting in one sitting), and she weighed 16 lbs 1 ounce or something like that. So, she is doing well. She's very happy and VERY curious about the world, much like her brother IS... *sigh*... but this time around, Noah can show her the ropes and maybe mom and dad can take a breather every once in a while OR maybe when they graduate from High School, whatever. :)

Hey all, I'm still learning here, but if you want to see SOME pictures of our summer, click on the picture of Noah sitting in the sandbox and it will take you to some more pictures. I grabbed only a few from each adventure we've had this summer. I can't believe it's already almost July! With this weather, it feels like we are only starting May.

Some events in the pictures include: The Omaha Zoo, going swimming in Hebron AND seeing a firetruck (in fact, getting our own personal tour!!), the Lincoln Zoo and riding the pony (which he surprisingly wasn't a huge fan of once he started moving), fun dressing up with daddy's clothes and having fun with a cardboard box, which he reminds me constantly that the hundred's of dollars we have spent on toys was a waste! Ha ha.

More on Aunalie, she is getting HUGE and more active. She's starting to remind me of her brother and wanting more attention. She's grabbing at lots of toys and babbling all the time. She's definitely daddy's princess!

More to come...

It's been almost a MONTH since I've updated this thing. There's so much we've done in that month, but mostly it's involved going OUTSIDE! Outside in many parks, both zoo's and mostly our neighborhood. More pictures to come.. once I have a chance to be inside.

Aunalie at Two Months

2009-05-19T22:33:00.002-05:00

This is One Month vs. Two Months. She's 11 lbs in month one and 13.5 in month two. Not a huge difference, but you can see there is definitely more chin in the second month... and less hair. :)

Something is not quite right... with mommy!

2009-05-13T19:03:00.001-05:00

This picture just screams for a caption and Shawn came up with:

Aunalie: Why does mom trust you sitting next to me? She has to know that in 10 seconds you are going to go bat shit crazy and hit me in the face.

Noah: 10 seconds? That's optimistic.

Noah LOVES Grandpa's tractor, so after he and grandpa fed the calves, Noah got to take his first ride on the horse. (more like, he got to sit on the horse while he ate)
This is Noah in church at Olivia Wiedel's baptism.
Aunalie just chilaxin' on grandma's bed.
This might be the best picture of Noah and Aunalie together! Noah was getting a kick out of Aunalie because she was hitting him in the mouth with her hand.

Some GOOD Easter Pics

I stole all of these off of Lisa and Chad's blog, but they were too freaking cute not too! Thanks Chad and Lisa for taking awesome pictures. ;) The picture of Noah looks professional, thanks to Chad? Lisa and I were inside where it was warm with the baby's. They finally got to hang out on the floor together and didn't have to worry about the big brothers stepping on their heads. But we did get a picture of them all together, of course we have to hold Noah so that he doesn't destroy his sister.

Who is Noah??

More and More pics... I've been taking a lot lately, if you can guess why! Noah is sitting in the computer chair watching himself and he's SO pleased. He loves videos of himself. But he's starting to love videos of Aunalie too. Mostly they are of him and Aunalie, but it still counts. Then we have yet another picture of Noah holding his sister, but this one looks like she is starting to laugh, or cry. Let's go with laugh!
Last night, I woke up from my nap (thank you, Shawn) and it was dinner time! Ha ha... I decided it would be fun to let Noah help make the biscuits. It was fun and messy as you can see. What is up with the all gray outfit, Shawn? Seriously. What is up with the crazy HAIR, Noah? I love it!
The next two pics are just updates of how the kiddoes look. Aunalie is serious, as usual. I thought uncle Adam and uncle Chad would appreciate the future Jedi Master. That shirt is a 2T and it's like a belly shirt. Very sexy! :) Hope you all have a GREAT week and it's snow free.

Baby Update

2009-04-01T00:20:00.003-05:00

A few friends have asked how Aunalie was doing with the jaundice and I am happy to report that she is doing really well, and doesn't have it anymore (that I can see). Actually, we had an appointment over a week ago to check it and the doc said she was doing fine and wouldn't have to be in a wallaby blanket or under lights. We are SO thankful for that.
In other news, Noah, Aunalie and I made it together for our first day and it went pretty good. The morning started off rocky... when Noah and Aunalie are hungry, they are hungry RIGHT NOW! They get that from their father! Ha ha. But after breakfast, we all got along great. Thankfully, Aunalie decided that she would nap while Noah did, so I got a little more sleep too with the kiddoes.
Other than that, we are just trucking along very well. I want to send a shout out to all the peeps who have bought us a meal or brought us a meal! That has been AMAZINGLY wonderful and helpful and delicious! Thank you all for your support. We do feel so blessed to have great friends and family.
And even though it's 12:30a.m., this is no April Fool's joke. :) Aunalie and I are just hanging out, hiccuping and having a midnight snack.

Fun Pictures

Bathtime: We were having fun with our hair in the bathtub... really, we were. Noah just wants to see the camera because he LOVES looking at himself. He just doesn't realize that he needs to pose first! :)

Pretty flowers: "Smell the flowers, Noah," said mom. "I will smell them through my forehead," thought Noah.

Aunalie and Shawn: Here's daddy loving on his daughter. I think she actually has HIM wrapped around HER fingers!

Big Eyes: I get lots of pictures of Aunalie when she is awake during the day... since her awake time during the day is short. Not that I'm complaining! (except for when she makes up for it at 1:45a.m.)

Sunbathing beauty: I love this picture. She was sunbathing again and had to strike a pose. It was too cute!

Here is Aunalie getting a tan... actually, she's trying to hopefully kick this jaundice thing. So far she doesn't need the "glow worm" belt that Noah wore. Noah wanted to be cool too and wear his sunglasses.

The History of "Aunalie Ryann"

2009-03-19T20:40:00.004-05:00

Lots of people have asked us where we got the name Aunalie, so I thought we would share our deepest secret. Shawn and I have a love of "America's Next Top Model". Annaleigh was a top three finalist in Cycle 11.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM-JqSi1nsY

That is where we first heard the name, which was shortly before we found out we were having a girl. The only problem I had with the name was that people called her Anna-Lee (because of the spelling Annaleigh) and she had to correct them by saying Ah-na-lee. One morning, when I wasn't sleeping, due to pregnancy... it hit me that Audrey (another name I love!) had the sound that we wanted everyone to use when pronouncing our daughter's name. Hence, the spelling is Aunalie. We choose to use "ie" instead of "eigh" because it is similar to my name, Carrie. SO, we did NOT invent the name, we only sort of got creative with the spelling... sort of.

As for Ryann... Aunalie's middle name WAS going to be Rae. However, my cousin Curtis Ray Wiedel had a daughter about a month ago and named her Olivia Rae. When we told them we had picked the same middle name, he informed me that it was HIS middle name. That's where we got the idea to use Shawn's middle name Ryan as Aunalie's middle name, but again change the spelling so that it looks a little more feminine.

As for nicknames, we only have one created by Noah... when we ask him what the baby's name is, he says, "Aunie" pronounced Ah-knee. Otherwise, we just call her princess. :)

And then there were FOUR!

This was my favorite game at Camden's birthday! I got my feelings MAJORLY hurt when daddy told me we had to get out. I tried to climb back in, but I couldn't make it. I can't wait to go back and jump in like the other 15 kids.

Beep Beep!

At my friend Camden's birthday, I got to play lots of fun games... like this big heavy ball game. Thanks to the help of a ball holder and bumpers, I was able to knock down 2 or 3 pins. However, after about 4 times of doing that, I was bored and had to go explore my other options.

Press the gas, Grandpa!

After corn on the cob, Grandpa showed me his big cows and let me pretend to drive. Mom didn't think I would ever go back in my car seat, but I did!

Corn on the Cob is GOOOOOOD!!

My first corn on the cob was at Grandma Wiedel's house. It was entertaining for about 15 minutes! And yummy!!!

Noah News

2008-07-28T22:53:00.002-05:00

Some new things with Noah are:
He's got two new teeth, his top molars. That was a rough two weeks.
He is walking now. He still likes to hold our hands in his left hand, only.
He's becoming a parrot and repeating things that we say, kind of. Sometimes he sounds like a German Soldier.
New words include "VACUUM!", "up", "hot", "daddy", "that?", and something close to "downstairs" but it doesn't really make any sense.

VACUUM!!!
