Musings of a 3 Year Old Boy....

I SWEAR I have nothing to do with any of these fun new things Noah likes to say. NOTHING at ALL....

"Mommy you get back jack"

"Daddy, I need to talk to you"

"Brandon, get back here! I need to talk to you!"

Noah: "I want something!" Mommy: "what do you want Noah?" Noah: "Something!"

When asked to eat his tortilla: "I can't Daddy, it's too big" OR "I can't Mommy, it's too small"

"Mommy, you stay here." As he puts me in the kitchen and closes the gate we use to keep Tank out while we eat.

"Mommy!!! Brandon spilled on the ground!" When Brandon threw up.

"E-AH!!!" While sword fighting

"No... That's silly..."

And the list will go on....

Happy Friday!

Cough cough....

Man is this thing dusty!! Yes, I know I'm a slacker with this blog... Yes, I know I s*ck. But life has been so busy we are lucky to know which way is up! I think things are finally calming down a bit here which is wonderful. I could not tell you where the summer or fall has gone. It has literally blown by! I'm finally catching up on pictures of our family now that I've gotten all my client ones done. Which reminds me I need to update my photography blog too. Jeez...

So here's a quick synopsis of life since our last post...

Noah keeps on amazing us with his vocabulary and his fascination with "reading" letters, numbers, drawing, dancing, etc... He started a gymnastics class last week and seemed to really like it! So we'll see what happens with that. We've got his 3rd birthday party this weekend and I'm sitting here thinking to myself "How is my baby 3 already?"


Brandon FINALLY started walking! And now there is no stopping that boy! We found out he is far-sighted and he got glasses at the end of September. He looks like a little scholar in them it's so cute! He also thinks he's a comedian and will not stop if you laugh along with him. His latest thing that he started last night is to "jump". Which means he bends his knees and pops up, but never leaves the ground. Then he giggles and claps his hands. It's pretty darn cute!

As for Shawn & I, we are doing fine. Work has been so busy this year, that we took a kid free vacation to our favorite place in October. It was some R & R that was greatly needed. We hung out with some friends and also just us! It was heaven! We missed the boys terribly though. Since we've been home it's been crazy! Between work, photography, and the boys we seem to not have enough time in the day. But now at work we're heading into the year end freeze for technology so our jobs are lightening up for the rest of the year. Which is really really really nice.

I'm working on getting the rest of the summer & fall pictures up on the web album. But I've gotten some of October and most of November done already so make sure to check them out!

Till next time! (which will NOT be 4 months from now... LOL!)

Updates #2 - June!

June

June was filled with a trip to TX, Lil B's birthday, graduation parties, B's birthday party, Noah's first movie theater experience, and a trip to the zoo. Quite a lot! So let's get started!

Texas!!!

Mom and I headed down for what hopes to be a yearly girls weekend trip with Jaime. :) We had a ton of fun just being together. There was a lot of drinking involved, plus some evil torture of making me workout in the extreme heat & humidity by Jaime, the beach in Galveston for the sandcastle competition, lots of outdoor music, Sex and the City 2 party & movie, and more drinking.... MMMMM white sangria in a juice box! :D Did I mention we did a lot of drinking??? LOL!

Pics are in the June album!

One of my favorites from the weekend... The three of us drenched at the Friendswood Music in the Park on Friday night!


I also took some updated photos of Jaime, Charlie, and the girls. They haven't gotten a chance to get a picture of the 4 of them together. Just the 3 of them when they got Kirby so we needed to get one with Sammers in it too. Here's my favorite of the day. It was kind of dreary, but we got it to work!



Can't wait to do that again! It was such a fun weekend!! :)

More to come on the rest of June. But this lady is tiiiirrrreeeeddddd.

Updates #1 - May!

It's been 2 months since I updated. EEK! So here is the first of the monthly updates.

May

May was another busy month for us. Mother's Day weekend we were lucky to have Jaime & Charlie visit us! It was so nice to be able to see them and as an added bonus Mom & I were heading down the first weekend in June so it was even better to be able to know I would be seeing my sister shortly after this visit. :)

We did our annual Race for the Cure 5k on Mother's Day morning. It was a bit chilly, but we bundled up the boys and made it through!

The four of us at the starting line


The whole gang with Grandma after the race


At breakfast with the others


The rest of the month was a rather blur. We spent Memorial weekend at home and it was nice to do that.





Up Next... June & Our Little B turns 1!!

Blast from the Past!

A package showed up on our doorstep yesterday. It was our Magic Kingdom Bridal Portrait session pictures! We waited the 3 years to buy them because if we bought them before that it was $1000 for the high resolution disc. Yep, you read that right. But if you wait 3 years (or rather 3 yrs 9 mo for us LOL!) you can get it for $100. Um it was worth the wait! We have enlargements of our wedding day pictures that our awesome photographer Randy took. But we never did any of the Magic Kingdom ones. Because let's face it... As much as we love Disney, they can be thieves! So now, I shall be getting some of these printed for our bedroom. :)

In honor of that day here is a slideshow of the pictures! Man I love my dress. SIGH. Was I really that skinny? LOL!

Park Time!

It was a beautiful evening today so we decided to take advantage before the next bout of rain comes upon us and head to the park. So we had an early dinner and dashed on over to the park in the new development in Cologne. It was Brandon's first time on the swings and such so I made sure to bring the big dog with.

See Brandon this is what you do!


Uh, I think I get it...


This is fun!

Stick that hand in here again lady and I'll bite your fingers off!


Cheese!!!!


Riding the Toucan


It's been another busy week so far! This weekend will be plenty busy as well. Next weekend we get to see Jaime & Charlie for a wee bit on their whirlwind tour of MN for Mother's Day. Oh and we are running in the Race for the Cure 5k on Mom's Day morning. Boys will be "running" this year too. Well if you call chilling in the stroller and going "Weeeeeeeeeeee" as Mommy & Daddy push the stroller at our lightning fast speed. LOL!

Lots of fun coming up!

TTFN!
