3 Johnson's living life in North Carolina

Noah turns 4 and thats it

2011-05-14T09:44:00.001-07:00

I cannot believe today my baby Noah is 4. I have convinced him this would be his last birthday. You can turn 4 Noah but thats it no more growing up. This is the first year I have been sad on his birthday. He is growing up way too fast. I mean 5 means kindergarten and I am not even remotely ready for that. Today I looked back at past blog post on his birthday so I wanted to be sure to document today as well.

Noah you are one awesome little boy and I am loving every minute of being your mommy. (Well except those where you make me want to pull my hair out. ha) I enjoy watching you learn because you are so smart. You have certainly impressed me with all of your scripture memory. Watching you figure out the world and what is right and wrong and what on tos God (honors God) makes me smile. I can't wait to see what 4 has in store for you. I love you Noah and I thank God for you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Whats Happening

2011-03-03T12:28:00.000-08:00

Hard to believe we have lived here for over a year now. I am so glad that we finally found an awesome church and some great friends too. We will probably be joining the CBF family soon. David has done an awesome job with his new store and I am so proud of him. I am so glad we decided to say yes to this new adventure. Noah and I have had so much fun exploring this area and finding new playgrounds and making new friends. We go to storytime at our local library too. Noah enjoys Awana at church and has already finished his first book. David and I have made several friends that we hang out with as a couple and have girls nights too. We have been talking about baby number 2 and trying to find some good maternity insurance. We hope to go to Jamaica this August. I am excited about spring and summer and can't wait to see what else God has for us this year.

Snow in early December????

Oh yeah we did move to North Carolina this year.

A North Carolina Christmas

2010-11-30T06:54:00.000-08:00

I got a lot of new things for my Christmas tree this year and nobody will be able to see because well it is like 7 hours away in Whitsett NC. Soooo I thought I would share a few pics here on my blog so you guys could see.

New skirt and topper

Pumpkin Carving 2010

2010-10-20T05:34:00.000-07:00

It is that time again. A little over a week before Halloweeen aka time to carve the pumpkin. We bought two new pumpkins especially for carving and for the first time one of those carving sets. Noah was beyond excited to get started and then less than thrilled to participate in the grody part. Turns out all he wanted to do was use the tools. I love making these memories with my little family.

Dixie Classic Fair

2010-10-11T19:05:00.000-07:00

Next on our list of new adventures was the Dixie Classic Fair in Winston-Salem NC. We arrived soon after the fair opened at 11am and I bought Noah a wristband to ride unlimited rides all day. He rode all of the kiddie rides but he kept asking to ride things that would require mommy to ride also soooo at about 2 or so (when I was actually ready to go) I bought myself a wristband so he could ride some of the bigger rides. Let me tell you this kid is fearless. We had so much fun. His face was priceless the first time on the Tilt-A-Whirl. We continued to ride everything we could ride together. Before we knew it was 6pm. Wow we were so tired. Noah fell asleep in the car right away after kicking and screaming all the way through the parking lot. I love making these memories with him too bad he probably won't remember them.

One Amazing Fall Saturday

2010-10-11T15:12:00.000-07:00

Now that the weather is cooler Noah and I are on mission to explore more of our area. We were on a hunt for a great corn maze, hayride, and pumpkin patch kind of place. I looked online and decided to go to J. Razz and Tazz Farm. It was awesome, we will definitely make it an annual event. They had a really nice cow train, a train hayride, huge bins full of corn to play in, swings, corn maze and a big hayride. On the big hayride they take you all over their farm and show you all the different crops they grow and some they used to grow. They have all of their farm equipment old and new along the way too. Noah and I spent three hours there and had a blast. We may even talk daddy into going back with us soon.

Summer so far

2010-07-10T15:54:00.000-07:00

I miss blogging. It seems facebook has taken its place. I really need to blog more often so I can have it made into a book one day since I never scrapbook. We are having a good summer here in North Carolina. Noah and I have really enjoyed the pool. We go most days and go back at night when David gets home. David spends time teaching Noah how to swim and he is doing awesome. I am considering putting Noah in preschool a couple of half days a week this fall. Give him a chance to make friends and me a break. David is on vacation this coming week and The Green family will be visiting for a few days. Maybe I will take some pics and come up with another blog post soon.

AHHH The Beach

2010-05-20T12:14:00.000-07:00

Last year around this time we were at the beach. It was our best vacation so far. Noah loved the beach and I loved watching him play. We celebrated David's birthday while we were there, Noah went poo poo and pee pee on the potty, he woke up crying about Handy Manny's nose. Such great memories. I want to go to the beach sooo bad right now. We may be able to check out a NC beach in September. My neighbor's sister just came into town and surprised her and they are going to the beach for a few days. I am so jealous. Well I thought reminicing about last years trip might help but I think it made it worse.

"Motorcycles" and Flowers

2010-04-11T17:45:00.000-07:00

Noah and I wanted to plant a few flowers so we took off to Walmart with my birthday money from my Aunt Karen. I got a couple of new pots and dahailas and somehow Noah left with a new "motorcycle". We had a fun afternoon planting flowers and learning to pedal. We also found time to enjoy the simple things like blowing dandelions.

Our Resurrection Sunday

2010-04-04T17:28:00.000-07:00

We woke this morning to Noah coming in our room and saying "I love my animal, I love it." We had left his basket in the middle of his floor so he couldn't miss it. After playing with his new stuff we decided to grab some breakfast at Mckadonalds. We were wishing we were going to Easter in the park but we had a great worship service here. After church we came home and I started lunch and David and Noah played outside a bit. I made ham, mashed potatoes, green beans, and pineapple casserole. Yummy! After lunch we rested a little and then decided to go to this park that we had seen. I thought it was just a place to picnic with maybe a creek and a playground. When we pulled up we saw that had a train and a carousel. It was really cool. They had several things for kids to ride and it was fairly cheap. Noah had so much fun and didn't want to leave. We will have to bring cousins here when they come visit. We ended our day with some strawberry shortcake.

New Look for the Bedroom

2010-03-19T14:01:00.000-07:00

I got a new quilt for our bedroom today. But now I need help deciding on what color of bedskirt to get. The green is a little brighter than the pictures indicate. Alright so make sure to leave your comments and suggestions.

Our Saturday

2010-03-13T11:17:00.000-08:00

Noah and I went to Carters today and then got some lunch at Chickenfila. I really hope that they are about to build another Chick fila for our area because it is sooo crazy in there. Noah wanted to play on the playground but I was spent after ordering our food in that mess. We decided to come back home and play outside a bit before nap time. I am in need of some time away from Noah so David says I should go to a movie or something tonight. I am thinking I may get my toes done instead. Well here are a few pics from our time outside.

Happy Birthday Cousin David!

Hope you had a great birthday today. We love and miss you. Happy Birthday! Love, Uncle David, Aunt Danielle and Noah

Very exciting stuff here.

Our pool. I can't wait for summer. So I have two months to get ready to be seen in a bathing suit. There is a place right down the road called Focus Fitness for Women and they offer childcare so I will be checking it out soon.

Our Sunday

2010-02-28T14:06:00.000-08:00

Today we visited a new church. It looked pretty big from the outside but there were only about 80 people. Not a bad thing just not what we are used to. We liked the pastor he was a younger guy. The music on the other hand left much to be desired. Please be in prayer that we will find the church where God wants us to be. After church we checked out our Golden Corral. It was pretty good but not quite the same as home. Then it was on to the Greensboro childrens museum. To our surprise and delight it was 1/2 price day. It was similar to the Creative Discovery Museum but not as big. Bet you can't guess what Noah's favorite thing was. The steam engine ofcourse. We told him we would have to bring our cousins there when they came to visit and he thought he was going to see them there today. = (

Home Sweet Home

2010-02-24T13:39:00.000-08:00

Here are a few more pics of our new place. We have a few more boxes stashed away and notice there are no pics of our bedroom closet. ha ha

Just a girl her God and her two boys and their dreams

2010-02-14T06:56:00.000-08:00

Two years ago David helped my fulfill my dream of becoming a stay at home mom to our Noah. Was it an easy decision to make? Well yes and no. I was excited and scared all at the same time. I wanted more than anything to be home with my son but had the fear of dropping an income and health benefits. We trusted God to take care of us during this time and He did. Was it all cake and icecream? Nope. We struggled but my dream was fufilled thanks to God and David. So that was my dream but that is only a part of this story.

There was a boy who also had a dream. His dream was to become a manager in his company and have his own store. On Thursday he got a call. A call that meant his dream was about to be fulfilled. He got his own store in North Carolina. Wow! Completely out of the blue we receive a call that turns our little lives upside down. Would I love to stay in my hometown with my family? Yes ofcourse I would but who am I to keep a boy from his dream. So here we are emabarking on a new adventure. We are really excited again but again full of fear of the unkown. We know that where God guides He provides. We are asking you our family and friends to pray for us. Pray that we are able to find a nice home in a good community where Noah and I can get connected. Pray we find another awesome church. We will miss Oakwood so much. Pray that Noah adjust to such a big change. We love you all!

Addie's Dress

2010-02-09T19:31:00.000-08:00

Addie gets to go to a father daughter dance so she needed a formal dress. April and I took her to JCPenney tonight to try some one. My favorite was dress #2 and Addie chose dress #3.

SNOW!

2010-01-29T10:23:00.000-08:00

This pics are for David since he is in Hixson where it isn't even snowing yet.

2010

2010-01-02T13:58:00.000-08:00

What will happen for you and your family in 2010? On January 27th David and I will celebrate 15 years together. In April I will be 31 and in May Noah will turn 3 and David will be 32. In June we will celebrate 12 years of marriage. This past year has been a little crazy for my family so I look forward to what God has in store for us in the coming year. I didn't really make any resolutions but I have had some things on my mind that I want to accomplish. I really want to work on getting Noah fully potty trained. I must become a better steward of what God has given us. Like most of America I should focus on eating better and getting in some exercise. I should have started a One Year bible this year. Well those are just a few things I have thought of. What about you?

Slaper Party

2009-12-05T13:48:00.000-08:00

We had Abby and Addie to come spend the night last night. We started off our evening with dinner at Ci Ci's pizza. I almost got in a fight with a lady who thought Noah was behaving badly. After dinner we came home for some fun. When I heard some commotion in Noah's room this is what I found. Think they were having fun????? While we were waiting for Noah to fall asleep the girls were making cards. This one from Abby cracked me up. We had a lot of fun at our "slaper party".

First attempt at a Christmas card shot

2009-12-05T10:31:00.000-08:00

I thought it would cute to get a pic of Noah with his two pups Cadillac and Cookie. I was hoping we might get a good enough shot for a Christmas card. Not sure any are Christmas card worthy but they are cute.

Noah's Studio Pics

2009-11-18T12:53:00.000-08:00

My little pink camera aka Nikon Cool Pix

2009-11-11T15:08:00.000-08:00

Below are some pics shot just before the death of my Nikon Cool Pix.

I was having fun taking pics of Noah in different Christmas hats and he wanted in on some of the fun so I let him take a picture of me.

And then I turned around to look for the next hat and he continued taking pics of me. Nice huh?

Well this may very well be the last picture my poor little camera will ever take. Noah dropped in on the floor and now the lens is really messed up. I am really sad and David is gonna be really mad.

Pumpkins and sunshine

2009-10-25T11:26:00.000-07:00

I wanted to get some pics of Noah with his pumpkin before we carved it so we headed out with the pumpkin and a prop. We went to the field behind our house. Will he ever come to a stage where he will cooperate and smile at the camera?

New Shirt = Photo Shoot

2009-10-13T16:39:00.000-07:00

I bought Noah this new shirt at a consignment shop today. I was inspired to do a photo shoot with my sweet boy and his new shirt. We took off to the battlefield and headed to Wilder tower. As we crossed over these railroad tracks I thought yes that would be cool. I have seen a few photographers use railroad tracks for photo shoots recently. I like how they turned out. I was wishing I had my zoom lens and maybe a more cooperative client. ha ha

A quick photo shoot

2009-09-30T06:05:00.000-07:00

Noah and I stopped for a quick photo shoot before dinner. We went behind Steak and Shake to that creek and walking trail. Didn't really capture anything fantastic.

Dinner

2009-09-21T16:56:00.000-07:00

Ok this is for mom and April. I talked to both of you on the phone while I was making dinner and you were very interested in how it would turn out. So here it is. It was really yummy and it worked. Everything was done at the same time. I stole this recipe from www.kellyskornerblog.com

Staycation day 2

2009-09-15T18:33:00.000-07:00

Today we went to the Tennessee Valley Railroad and took a ride on a train. I told David that it just wet my tastebuds. It was a short ride and I want to go for a longer one now. Noah enjoyed hanging his head out the window.

Staycation Day One

2009-09-14T18:22:00.000-07:00

We took Noah to Pump It Up for the first time today and he had a blast. (don't tell anyone but I think David might have like it just as much) We had a free pass so that made it all the more fun. There were only a few other kids so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. David is ready to challenge Allen to a round of gladiators in the pump it up octagon.

Kick Off Our Staycation

2009-09-14T18:15:00.000-07:00

Sunday night we kicked off our "staycation" with a family fun night. We put all of the couch cushions and pillows in the floor. We wrestled around, watched a movie, and well we wore safety glasses. ha ha

Happy Grandparents Day!

2009-09-13T12:38:00.000-07:00

Noah looked so handsome today in his blue shirt. We had to take some quick pics before church. So Happy Grandparents Day to Nana, Papaw, Grammy and Poppy. We love you all so much!

Thirty-One Open House

2009-09-01T18:46:00.001-07:00

This is a post for a couple of my readers who do not have a facebook page. Yes that would be you Destiny and Heather. I am a new Thirty-One consultant and I am having my open house on sunday September 6th at 5pm. I really want you guys to come. We will have some great food and fellowship and I will share my new business with you. I hope you can come. Please let me know.

Noah's Funnies

2009-08-27T20:35:00.000-07:00

Noah is super funny these days. I love having this blog to record his daily funnies. I locked the door tonight while I was in the bathroom thinking I could potty in peace. What was I thinking? I kept hearing him at the door and when I came out he had a screwdriver trying to open the door. Tonight while we were putting him down he said "mommy sleep in Noah's bed" and I told him that I had to go clean the kitchen. I laid beside him and he looked up at David and said "daddy go clean the kitchen". It was priceless. We laughed so hard and David said well maybe I will. I continued to lay with Noah and he kept saying "mommy go get jamas on" I guess he thought I was really going to sleep with him. Too cute! I love love love this kid.

Funny Noah

2009-08-26T04:57:00.000-07:00

Let me give you a little history on Noah talk before I share this story. When he wants to know where something is he usually says "where the ____ is mommy?" instead of where is the ____ mommy? This morning he brought me a granola bar and wanted me to open it. He then notices something is missing. "Where the hat is mommy?" What Noah? "where the hat is?" ha ha I bought generic granola bars this time because I had a coupon that made them only $1. He wanted to know what happened to the Quaker guy with the hat.

Audrey's Birthday Party

2009-08-22T07:05:00.000-07:00

Audrey Nella Green

2009-08-13T12:33:00.000-07:00

I remember a day exactly 2 years ago. A day full of antcipation. We were expecting a new baby in the family. Audrey Nella Green was to be born that day. David, Noah and I ate and waited at Park Place. We knew it wouldn't be much longer so we stayed there waiting for the call because it is right across the street from the hospital. God blessed our family that day with Audrey. She wasn't what we expected. I guess we assumed that she would look just like her older sister Addie but she didn't. We all wondered out loud "who does she look like?" Turns out she looks a lot like her daddy. Audrey still isn't what we expected. She is the third child but has her very own voice and personality. Audrey we love you so much! I can't believe you are already 2!

Reading

2009-08-11T19:21:00.000-07:00

I was watching Noah "read" books this afternoon and I thought he looked really cute. It wasn't until I uploaded these pics that I noticed the book was upside down.

2009-08-04T14:25:00.000-07:00

Yesterday Noah got this fire hat at the Dollar Tree and he couldn't help but admire himself in the mirror. So today I got him this shirt with fire trucks and hoped for a photo shoot. He didn't cooperate for long (or maybe not at all) but I think they are sweet.

Last night while Kathryn labored we took the boys to dinner. David is really picky but we had all agreed on Long John Silver's. That was until I saw Moe's. I convinced David and Nick that they would love it and they did. We decided we would document our evening. So enjoy!

Trey Espy

2009-07-29T23:05:00.001-07:00

Trey Espy was born tonight, well technically last night at 11:52 pm. He weighed 8 lbs 7 oz and was 20 inches long. He had a rough start because his cord was wrapped around his neck twice and pretty tight but now baby and momma are doing well. It is 2 am and we just got home so I am headed to bed. You will have to wait for pics tomorrow.

Our Saturday

2009-07-25T14:23:00.000-07:00

Today we went with April and Audrey to shop for Audrey's birthday. We went to Carter's and bought her some clothes for fall. After a little shopping ( a little shopping is all that toddlers can handle) we headed to Cracker Barrel for some lunch. After lunch it was already time to head home for nap. Quick trip but fun was had by all mom. We came home for nap and now we are just waiting for daddy to get home from work.

Noah

2009-07-24T08:45:00.000-07:00

I keep finding myself saying " I love this kid" lately. Noah is so much fun to hang out with everyday. For a while he has been saying "Help Mommy" but just this week he started saying " I need your help mommy". It is sooo cute. I find him doing the motions to a song I taught him or singing a song on his own and I get so excited. He gets embarrassed that I caught him and will not continue. Today we had been playing outside and I stepped in the house for a minute and couldn't find him when I went back out. He was in the front yard with a limb from the tree. He didn't see me so I just watched as he carried it all the way to the back yard to the brush pile. When he turned to come back he saw me and said " I put it back mommy" I Love This Kid.

Funny!

Family Reunion Fun

2009-07-12T17:54:00.000-07:00

David's catch of the day

Uncle Randy taking Addie to the Big rock

Hi Allen and Audrey!

Finding some good throwing stones.

We had so much fun in the FREEZING river. Noah played until his lips were blue. I was getting a little worried that we should make him get out for a little while because it was sooo cold. He had a blast throwing rocks and making big splashes. Next time we will being some tubes.

Bears in the mountains

2009-07-12T16:43:00.000-07:00

When we were headed to the mountains for the family reunion I told Noah he may see a bear. Well he ask the entire time we were there. So this is as close as he got to seeing a bear in the mountains. He also brought home his very own "smokey bear".

Random

2009-07-10T14:48:00.000-07:00

I haven't posted in forever. Guess we are just not very exciting lately. Well I decided to choose a random pic from the computer and post it. This was taken at Destiny's parents house at a birthday party. If I am not mistaken this was the time that my old volvo was acting up and I had the WORST time trying to make it to this party. I showed up phyically and emotionally wasted from all of the car drama. Maybe we will call this post the "Weekend Rewind"

Noah's Room

2009-06-26T18:58:00.000-07:00

Noah's big boy room is almost complete. He got his doggie today and now we are waiting on the valances. Hopefully we will get those tomorrow and I will post the final pics.

Father's Day
June 21st 2009

AWWW!

2009-06-24T11:43:00.000-07:00

I put a crying Noah down for nap today so I went to see if he was playing or sleeping and this is what I found. Sooooo sweet. Well then I thought I didn't put him down with shoes on. I realized that those shoes were on the floor where I had found them in his closet this morning. So he did get out of bed but only to put some shoes on. Hey did you notice they are even on the right feet. (well I guess he had a 50/50 chance of doing that) I LOVE him!

Daddy's Day

2009-06-20T18:59:00.000-07:00

I can't believe it is actually David's third Father's Day. Just wanted to take a minute to say what a great dad he is. I love watching him with Noah. David thanks for being an amazing dad to my Noah. We both love you so much. The pictures I chose aren't posed or "great pics" but they show David just being a daddy.

Just a peek

2009-06-19T15:21:00.000-07:00

Here is a sneak peek of some new things going on in Noah's room.

These stars now hang on the wall over Noah's new bed.

Noah's name was white and I painted them red and added the stars.

Don't forget to keep checking back as we work on completing his room.

I Want It!

2009-06-19T13:15:00.000-07:00

I told April I was looking for some TY beanie baby dogs to put on the shelves in Noah's room. She found these almost life size dogs by Melissa and Doug. These are my two favorites. How cute would these be in Noah's new big boy room. Love Love Love em!

Finally

2009-06-18T13:37:00.000-07:00

After about an hour and a half of
fighting it Noah finally fell asleep for nap in his big boy bed. This is sooooo hard. Everyone says take the toys out of his room so he isn't tempted to get up and play. We really have no other option for toys though. Really wishing I had a playroom. In this pic he is exactly how I left him the last time after threatening to spank him if he got out of bed again.

Big Boy Bed

2009-06-12T22:08:00.000-07:00

Noah may be moving up to a big boy bed soon. Kathryn's baby boy is due in August and will need his crib. We aren't 100% sure whether it will be a twin bed or a toddler bed. Mom has a toddler bed that we can use but Ruby may be able to bring a twin bed home from her sister's house. I am getting really excited about the idea of a twin so I may go hunt one down if Ruby isn't able to get that one. Anyway I love this quilt and wanted some other opinions.

Funny Pics

2009-06-11T20:09:00.000-07:00

I found these pics on my small camera. I don't know how they have not made it to the blog until now.

Fun in the tub

2009-06-11T19:58:00.000-07:00

April always talks about Audrey playing with shaving foam in the shower so today I bought some at BigLots. We used a whole large can and Noah had a blast. Thanks for the fun idea April.

Wii active

2009-06-01T12:49:00.000-07:00

Love It! I got the active for my Wii yesterday and started the 30 day challenge. It is a pretty good workout (kicks my butt anyway)

Oh Noah

Zoo

2009-05-29T19:11:00.000-07:00

We visited the zoo while we were at the beach. It was "The Little Zoo That Could". It wasn't very big but they did have lions, tigers, and bears.

"I petted the bunny"

This goat was hilarious and scary at the same time. He was such a bully
He stole that cup from a girl who was feeding him.

Ok I was really grossed out with the baby in the pouch idea.

Throwed Rolls

2009-05-29T19:03:00.000-07:00

We went to Lambert's twice while we were on vacation. It is so much fun and so yummy.

Noah getting ready to catch his throwed roll

Good Catch

Fried Okra just one of the pass arounds

If you have never visited Lamberts you must. One of the most fun FAMILY places you will go. Last year when we went our waitress was a fuddy dud. This year however was better. The first night we went we went with David's friend Tony and some of his friends. Our waiter that night was hilarious. The last night we were there we went back by ourselves. Our waitress was ok. She played the fake mustard and tea pitcher on us but she wasn't very good at it.

David's Best Gift

2009-05-27T19:05:00.000-07:00

David said his best gift was Noah peeing and pooping on the potty. We will definitely remember his first time using the potty since we were at the beach and it was David's birthday. Awesome Noah way to go.

Happy Birthday David!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOAH! My 2 year old. Noah I love you and everything that you are up to and into. You have so much to say these days. The other day you were able to repeat scripture as I said it to you. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Be still my heart. I can't until you can memorize scripture and I will learn right along with you. You say Thank You and I'm sorry. I wanted you to give up your paci by two but you are so in love with it you are sucking on it as I type. You are also in love with your "bankets" not one in particular just has to be silky on one side. You always know where we are when we are driving in the car. As we pass by these places you scream out "BANK" "CARWASH" "MUNCH" "PAY" "I SEE OSTRICHES". When I ask you what you want for lunch alot of times you say nugget or burger but you also say bean which means you want to go to Golden Corral (which is your favorite place.) You can say I love you mommy and daddy and it just warms our heart. When you are scared you grab on tight and we love it. You say "hold you mommy" which means you want me to hold you and even if I know you are using me I can't resist picking you up. We are sitting on the couch right now and you just cozied up to me and laid your head on my shoulder. Does it get any better than this?

Noah I am so glad that God gave me you. That He chose me to be your mommy. Thank you God for giving me Noah. I am so thankful that he is healthy. I pray that I am a Godly example to Noah and that he sees Jesus in me. I pray that Noah comes to know you and love you at an early age. Amen

Happy Mother's Day Ruby

I didn't buy Mother's Day cards in time to send to Jamaica so we took pictures of some we liked and decided we would blog them. Saved $6 too. ha ha Ruby you are an amazing mom, mother-in-law and Nana. We love you and miss you. Thanks for everything you do for us and your entire family. You rock! You should be able to click on the pics to enlarge.

My Baby Is Two

2009-05-07T11:17:00.000-07:00

It is hard to believe that my Noah is two. It seems like yesterday that my legs and feet were so swollen they were unrecognizable. That Ruby was making plans to stay an extra week to wait for Noah. Yesterday that Dr. Rowland called and scheduled me a room to be induced and told me take it or leave it. That we decided to be induced on Mother's day. Yesterday that I labored while enjoying the effects of the drugs. That my beautiful baby boy was born. Yesterday I tell ya. But in reality it has been two years. I love Noah more every day. I am completely in love with him. He has been talking so much lately. He can put three or four word sentences together and he can repeat anything you say. (such as crap) He loves to run , jump, take a bath, swim, and get on momma's very last nerve. I am so thankful for the opportunity to stay at home with him. I know that his childhood will fly by. I know this because just yesterday he was safe and sound in my belly. Just yesterday I tell ya.

Just for Heather

2009-05-06T19:08:00.001-07:00

Noah's Party

2009-05-02T12:52:00.000-07:00

Noah's birthday is coming up and we are trying to plan his party but I need your help. We were thinking about Saturday May 9th maybe around 5:00. Please leave a comment and let me know if you would be able to come if we have it then. Just curious how many of you could come or if we should pick another day. The only problem is David has to work the entire week of his birthday.

A special girl had a special day this week. Hannah had a birthday this week so we decided to do a photo shoot. We went to the battlefield, coke ovens and crawfish springs. I had a lot of fun shooting an older kid who could stay in one place longer than oh lets say one second.
