T-Minus 2 Days!!!!!

The excitement is building!!!  Only 2 more days and Noah & I will be off to the house of Mouse!  :D  For a fun filled weekend with some pretty great friends!  I am so excited to take him there!  But I'm sad Shawn won't be with.  That will just make next years trip even more incredible!

Woot woot!!

No pictures to show right now.  Noah has unfortunately been battling a cold since this weekend.  It's been snot central at our house (EW!).  But he seems to be on the mend which I am so happy about!  That should make the flight a little better...  On Sunday just so I could make sure I took him to urgent care to have his ears checked.  Thankfully he was free and clear!  Phew!  That was such a load off.  And he's gotten better since then, so I'm not worried about that anymore.

I promise to have loads of pictures to show and hopefully some video when we return.  Daddy will be taking Friday and Monday off as well so I expect there will be a lot of football watching and PS3 playing while we are gone.  I must say that even though he too is bummed about not coming, he is looking forward for some alone time.

See Ya Real Soon!

Would you like to...

Swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar?
And be better off than you are?

So here's our little man swingin on a star!

Now how can anyone resist the fun of swinging when it brings this much joy to such a darling little boy? If everyday had this much joy in it, I would be complete.

Fall Family Fun!

It wouldn't be a fall season without a trip to either an apple orchard or a farm for some family fun!

We headed out to the Nelson Family Farm (www.nelsonfarm.com) this weekend with the Turners and Hebners.  It was great to see everyone and we had a blast!  We didn't get to the corn maze, but we did pretty much everything else there.  The kids all had a good time.  Hallie & Ashley showed their cousin Noah how to ride in a wagon, go down a slide, pan for gems, and get your hand nibbled on by a goat!  

It's so much fun to watch Noah experience all of these new things.  He's so curious and will just sit and watch the world around him.  That is for 5 minutes until he decides that "hmmm that acorn sure looks tasty!  maybe I'll try it!"  Thank goodness Daddy & Grandma were there to stop him!  This is now going to be a fall tradition for us.  I can't wait until next year when our little dude will be not so little anymore and his cousins might need to try and keep up with him!

I've loaded some of the pictures up, but have many more to go.  Check out the September album for them!!!

Happy Birthday Uncle Charlie!!

A very happy 30th birthday to you!!!

I love you!!!

Noah

For Grandpa Steve

So when do I get to ride the Harley Grandpa?  I'm all set with my Harley gear and do-rag...

Thanks for coming over and playing with me today!  I had lots of fun!!

See you soon!

Love, Noah

9 Months!!

I swear it was just yesterday that I was saying to myself "Only 9 months and I'll get to hold my baby..." Well now I'm saying I can't believe it's been 9 months since Noah has been born! He is such a wonderful blessing for us. We smile, laugh, and love every minute with him. Yes even when he's fussy, screaming, crying, etc... We love him to death. But we do love it even more when he's happy! He had a 9 month well baby visit on his actual 9 month birthday. And as usual he did not disappoint Dr. Marcia. He was all smiley and a good boy for the exam. What made it even better was that he didn't have to get any shots! Yahoo!

So here is our "little" man's stats:
Height - 30 1/4 inches (95%)
Weight - 19 lbs 13 oz (25%)

As you all probably know we are HUGE Disney fans in the Turner household. Imagine that! Would explain the Disney Fairy Tale Wedding we had eh? LOL! Anyways, I have been in dire need of a Disney fix and my wonderful husband has surprised me with a long weekend at the house of Mouse! YIPPEE!!! Unfortunately it will just be Noah and I going, Shawn will be staying home. But as he has told me, he's going to sit and watch football all weekend long and do NOTHING else! LOL! I'm so excited to take Noah to Disney!! We are spending the weekend with some very good friends of mine. They are so pumped to finally be able to meet Noah! I don't think this little guy realizes what he is in for... Plenty of pictures will be taken!

Is it October yet? :)

And what would be a post without a couple of pictures??

Noah's got the sleddin' itch!

Where's Tank?

Noah's "jail" - the only place he's not getting into trouble

Yay!  No Shots for me today!!

MN Zoo

Last weekend we brought Noah to the MN Zoo. We met up with 2 other couples with their kids. All 3 of the kids did such a good job that day! We had a very nice day. Noah sat at the dolphin tank and followed Seemo (the male dolphin) around when we first got there. He had lots of fun at the Wells Fargo Family Farm with the goats. They nibbled on his little hand and he loved it! It was so cute!

You can see some of the pictures in the MN Zoo album when you click on the Our Pictures link.

I also added a ton more pictures to the August album as well.

This weekend Shawn & I are heading to Valleyfair, he'll do some golfing this weekend, and then on Labor Day we are heading to the State Fair to see Toby Keith with our good friends the Barnes'. It's turning into a tradition for us. They've had some good artists there the past few years. (Now Mom stop shaking your head in dismay... I love all types of music!) It'll be a nice way to spend the last holiday weekend of the summer!

Finally, in Noah news... Someone has decided to learn how to pull himself up on things. Most especially his crib! The little bugger has almost pulled himself out of his crib while I went to grab a new diaper from his closet. Yup, he's THAT fast. Needless to say Shawn shall be lowering his mattress tomorrow so we can avoid any potential disasters. Boys. LOL!

Ta ta for now!
