My Loves

Lately, I've been thinking about all the things we LOVE about Noah! I never in a million years thought that you could love a child so much. I'm amazed at how much he's grown since his first birthday....a little man now.

LOVE: those big "House" eyes. Reminds me of Mamaw House every time I look at you.

LOVE: your LOVE for outdoors and NEVER wanting to come in
LOVE: how much you love your cousins and want to be a big kid like them
LOVE: the way you LOVE your daddy
LOVE: the way you can fall asleep ANYWHERE, but this is your favorite

LOVE: the way you chillax while watching Handy Manny
LOVE: how much you LOVE hats....you didn't even realize you had two onLOVE: the way you always carry around "horsey and doggy" (most of the time in your mouth)
LOVE: the way you look and act just like your daddy

LOVE: the swirl in the back of your head and the wild and crazy hair you have EVERY morningLOVE: to be folding your clothes and see your initials on the tag (I know weird, but it's special)
And we can't forget the "terrible two's" that have seriously hit home! I'm not sure where, but he's picked up "shut up"! So between that, throwing stuff (as if he doesn't realize he's even done it), and just flat out not listening...my heads been spinning! But that's what we LOVE!

Chuck E Cheese

We had our first trip to Chuck E Cheese a few weekends ago, and LOVED it! Gigi decided she wanted to take the kiddos and so we all piled up had a good time.

I love these pics, Alli's enjoying her car-riding pooch......

while...Noah is scared to death and checking him out!


I think that Jay and Chris had more fun than the kids!

And since Jay is the smallest, she became the designated tunnel climber.





We will definately have to do Chuck-E-Cheese again!

Big Boy Sports Room

We put Noah in his big boy bed about April, and he's done so good!! We just got through redoing his room (yes it's only been 2 years since I last redid it) and we love it. This is his view when you walk in. Minus curtains...and the chiferobe now has chalk/magnetic boards in the doors.

Our main focus...stripes and sports! I love this wall! From left to right...Pops (my daddy), Papaw (Chris' dad) and Chris. It turned out perfect!!
And we also hold a lot of concerts in this room!!

2nd Birthday Pics

Our 2 special guest: Elmo and Big Bird

And we had a few minor issues with the precious Elmo cake....

..maybe more than a few....

...so we picked this on up just in case...although the big was was still DELISH!

Everyone took home their own "Oscar the Grouch" can!

He kept saying "HOT!"

We had a great time at the party and are so glad that everyone made it!!
