Our lives have picked up a bit....

This is a picture of Noah in Chapel at his preschool. Each class is responsible for a chapel and this was his day. The "Loving Leapords" were in charge and so they stood up and lead music. He absolutely loves it. He is standing next to his best friend Tyler. The next three pictures are of Noah and Tyler and the church harvest party. They are true boys. They are on the ground more then they are standing. We love watching Noah interact with Tyler.

This is a picture of Noah and his soccer buddy Louie. They have become good little friends. We were at there end of the season soccer party tonight. It was pouring but it did not stop them from have a ton of fun. Noah was sooo excited to get a trophy....that is after we explained what a trophy was. :) Noah has joined Awana and this last week he had to dress up as a biblical character. Being the very creative people we are we thought he should go as.........Noah. :) He loved it and we had fun dressing him up.
Mandy was a Giraffe for Halloween. She is just so cute....if I do say so myself. :)


Noah is Buzz lightyear for Halloween. He is just the best big brother he takes such good care of Mandy (besides the few times he has pushed, droped, hit, or ran over her) Here they are before we went to a Halloween party.

First Day of Preschool

Noah is dressing himself

Noah has figured out that he can dress himself so he comes out of his room in all kinds of outfits. I thought I would share a picture of just one of his special outfits.

I'm Back

Mandy is attempting to try solid food. As you can see from the picture it is a messy process. God blessed me with Noah who is a very clean eater.....I am just pray Mandy followes his footsteps. I can handle almost anything but for some reason have the toughest time with messy eaters.

Noah's new phrase is...."Your my best friend".....and "whats going on here" it is so fun to hear him talk and hear all the new things that are coming out of his mouth.

A night without Adam

Adam has been working all day. This means that I have been home alone with the kids all day. I am home alone with them everyday so this should not be a new thing but for some reason it is harder to be alone on Saturdays. Today has been great though. Noah has been a great little boy (should I expect anything different....he IS perfect) and Mandy of course has been an angel. I am including a few pictures to show the fun we had today. Noah is haveing a great time with his trains and Mandy is so demanding.....:)

Christmas Tree Hunting

We went to get our Christmas Tree tonight. We have grown out of our house and so our Christmas Tree this year is......well you will see below. :) I will just say it is cute.

Noah loved seeing one Sants' Reindeer although he was concerned that it was not with Santa.

Mandy was ready!

Here it is :)

Thanksgiving/Hume Lake

We had a great Thanksgiving/Hume Lake/ Disneyland Trip. It was very fun filled. By the end of the week we were ready to be back on our schedule....and when I say we.....I mean me (Janell).

We spent Thanksgiving Day at Kaiser with Noah. He had Croupe. It was not how we planned starting our vacation but it was okay.

He went to Hume Lake and had a blast. It did not snow but it was very cold.

Then we were off to see Ryder Wayne Clark and Disneyland. Other than Noah having a time out at the Castle entrance the day turned out to be a good day. The parade was well worth it where Santa Claus wished Noah a Very Merry Christmas. He is still talking about it.

It was so nice to be Adam's Family at Hume Lake. This is a fun tradition we hope to continue for a long time.

Here is Mandy all bundled up. You can't tell in this photo but she did not like the cold at Hume Lake.

After Hume we went to see the biggest Christmas Tree ever. (you can't see the tree but it is big)

Noah's first ice skating experience. He did great.
Mandy loved Disneyland. Her and Grandpa had a great time together.

Noah's time out at the entrance of the Castle.

This was one of Noah's favorite rides.

Ryder Wayne Clark.....He is soooo cute!
