Noah's Birthday

We had a blast on Saturday with Naoh's first birthday party. We had several friends and family come out to celebrate with us.

Hum, What's that?

Let me have a try.

Pretty good

I think I'll have some more.

What?

Summer Fun

I took Noah to the swimming pool with my mom, sister, and his cousins. He had a blast. Here are some pictures of Noah with his cousins, Colby and Ruby.

Fun in the Sprinkler

Noah had a blast in the sprinkler at my mom's on Sunday. As you all know it has been really hot, and Noah loves to be outside. So, we stripped him down to his diapers and shoes and put him in his walker. Then we let him stroll through the water. He was so funny.

These pictures are from Saturday when David was washing off the driveway. He would point the water to Noah, and Noah would reach his hands out and try to grab the water and laugh. After Daivd finished washing the driveway, he held Noah and let him play in the water.

Fun at Nana's

We were all at my mom's house last week. David was playing baseball with the boys, Noah was chasing Ruby in his walker, and Ruby was playing in the mud. My mom said, "Man that reminds me of you and Crystal making mudpies." It reminded me of my granny hollaring for her muffin pan.

First Family Vacation

We went to Blairsville on our first family vacation. We did some hiking, sleeping, and swimming in the hotel pool. On the first day we hiked up to Brasstown Bald. It was fun, but it showed me how out of shape I really am. We borrowed a backcpack from a friend. Noah had a blast riding on Daddy's back.

The swimming pool

On the second day we went hiking to Desoto Falls. It was a beautiful hike and not near as tiring as the hike the day before.

Wow that's big!

Mommy's turn!

That was fun.

Needless to say we had a great time. Vacations are defenately different now, and we are looking forward to our week at the beach.
