enjoying another beautiful day!

Noah does not like the grass. He kept lifting up his feet when I tried to get him to stand on it. He is army crawling all over the place and is a much happier baby!

Those big thighs just wanted to stick to the slide!

Noah

I just thought this picture was so cute; I had to post it.
Grandma Cathy always takes the grandkids out for lunch for their birthdays, so today was Eli's birthday lunch. What a special thing! They went to Applebees, and he was still talking about it when he went to bed. Thanks Grandma!

Spaghetti

At least one of my family members appreciates my cooking.

frustrated

This is how Noah spends much of his day- pissed off because he can't crawl. He has started army crawling a little bit, and he can crawl on his knees two times before he falls on his tummy.

Day 5

No pictures! Mom, Krista and the boys left around 11:00 this morning. I haven't heard how the dreaded car ride went (Drew is not always the best traveler). I hope it wasn't too bad. Last year after Mom got home from this trip she wasn't sure she was coming back for another spring break. I hope you're not feeling the same way now!!! Thanks for coming down. We had a lot of fun!!!!! LOVE YOU!

Day 4

Did we not get enough to eat for supper??? After we ate, the boys had a sucker and a popcicle. 5 minutes later, they had the step stool from the bathroom and were helping themselves to a snack.

Back to the real world. Mom and Krista got to see what my day is like with a house full of boys. Grandma was tired out after taking the 5 big boys outside by herself. She was rewarded with a little nap, and then treated us to a wonderful dinner!

Day 3

Everyone enjoyed our near 80 degree weather.

Mom and Krista visit day 2

What a wonderful day for a birthday party! We had pizza, Eli opened presents, we had cake, and everyone played outside. Eli has been having fun playing with all of his new presents. He even got to try out his new bike today after spending the morning in his pj's playing leapster.

Mom and Sister visit

Mom, Krista, and the boys got here around 4:00 on Sunday afternoon, and brought beautiful weather. As soon as they got here, we went straight to the park. Yesterday we spent the morning at an indoor park, and the afternoon outside again. Noah LOVED swinging! Then it was time for Eli's birthday party.

Noah napping

He looks so cute and comfy. One might think he could take a nap that lasts longer than 45 minutes!

Noah's Happy Places

The kitchen and the discovery dome are the two places Noah will actually sit and play by himself. The whole teething thing, stuffy nose, snotty nose, and frustration from not being able to crawl, are turning this once happy baby into quite a crab!! He sure does know how to turn it on for the camera! He was crying right before I took the picture of him by the kitchen.
