Check This Out!

Grandma Nancy, and Grandpa Don, got Noah this car for his 1st birthday. He's been figuring out how to use it, and just recently started running across the room with it! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for my fun car!

Jeff's 30th Birthday!

Well, he finally came along to join me in the world of 30-somethings! Happy Birthday to my best friend! I love you, Jeff!

Jeff's big present this year, was his trip out to Seattle. He flew out there to hang out with his roommate from Purdue, Jeremy, and see the Boilers play against Oregon. So when the day of his birth came, we had a small celebration at home. I made his very favorite, yellow cake with chocolate icing, and I sang to him. :) And, sad to admit, but Jeff and I polished off the whole cake...it took us a week...but it's all gone!

Aunt Nay and Some Dt. Dew

What more could a little guy ask for?!?! Aunt Nay stayed the whole weekend (even after our freeze-out-camping-adventure). What's really funny is that she had made Noah two little "wave" bottles of his own, with buttons and a oil/water mixture inside...but he still goes for her Dt. Dew bottles every time!

Ornamental Gourds Apparently...

...make great toys! I put these gourds out on my dining room table to bring a little seasonal touch to our home. Well, every time Noah and I sit down for a meal, he points and hollers for me to let him play with them. So I finally gave in, and let him bang them around for a while...
