First Snow

Our makeshift sled...and yes I pulled him around the neighborhood.

Halloween Fun!!

Noah and Daddy at trunk or treat at church. It was way to hot for Noah to wear his Chinese jacket and no way he was keeping on a hat. If I get better pictures I will post them.
And his other costume...a vicious lion!! He left the hat on for 45 seconds.

One year old

I'll have my cake and paci too.
I am trying to teach him to blow out his candles.

What do you mean don't feed the dog?

Aren't I so cute...

Even when I take everything out of your cabinets.

Mammoth Trip

We just spent a week in Mammoth with my family. The weather was great and the golf was free and right outside our door.
Tyler and I are a little tired and stressed from the lack of sleep...but each night got better. This all of us except my brother at Mammoth Mountain.

Family picture time...yet again.

Some more pictures of me

MOPS

If you are wondering why I am so busy now...here's why...MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers). I am the coordinator of our town's group. This is the leadership team that I spend all of my time with. Being in this leadership role I have already found new strengths and have become aware of I mean more aware of my weaknesses. What an opportunity I have to grow as a person and leader in this new role.

My beautiful baby 10 months

My first hair cut

Boy don't I look like a big boy!!

Swim Lessons

We are having lunch before noah's swim lessons. Yes swim lessons...he may not be doing the breast stroke anytime soon but he does jump in the pool from sitting. I've learned to always be ready because you never know when he is going to jump in.
Noah was the youngest in the class by a month. I took the class with a friend from church who has a son one month exactly older than noah.

Here he is with ring in hand and splashing like crazy.

10 months already

I have learned to pull myself to standing and I am so proud of myself. My parents have decided to moving everything out of my reach since I can stand. I am cruising around tables and furniture, though I have not yet mastered crawling.


I still love to snuggle...at least for a second or maybe two.

And I love to clap. Say "yea Noah" and I will clap all by myself.

July fun

Noah loves his drum!! He puts his head on things he loves. I guess this is one of them.
Trying to eat the camera.

4th of July food...bitter biscuit

June 20th with grandma and grandpa.

Summer Fun

Grandma and Grandpa Ficht came for a visit. I am showing Grandma how I like to head butt to get your attention.

Grandpa taking me on the slide.

I am with all the mom's and other babies born at our church this year.

I like to check out all the younger ladies.

I am learning to stand and splash.

Noah's first experience with a palm tree.

My cousin Nita, her son Joe have been blessed to live in Hawaii and we got to see them while we were there.

Out to dinner at Roy's.

A very tired boy at the beach. We got home early Saturday morning. Noah slept for 3 hours, 2 hours, 1 hour and then 11 hours that night. We must have really worn him out.

Hawaii

Hawaii was wonderful. Noah really enjoyed it too. The only tough part was Noah adjusting to the time change (which never really happened).

Noah and his usual mid-hike nap

He loves the water

Tyler, Aly, Cam and Kirby on top of Diamond head. Noah is asleep in the backpack.
