Fall has come!!

This our community fall festival. Noah has batman on his face. He cried when we washed it off later that night.

Here is the way Noah likes to enjoy the pumpkin patch in Flowermound, TX.

This the best picture I got of both the boys on the hay ride. Noah kept saying, "ye---haaaa!"

Jacob is pretending to take a nap on Mom and Dad's bed.

At Jacob's 15 month check he weighted 22 lbs and is in the 50th percent for height and weight and 95th for his head (he truly has his mamma's genes).

Our New House...November 19th it should be ready...

There is the outside of the house. It will be painted a gray color with black and white accents.

View in to the house from the front door. (living room and kitchen) We first bought the house when it was just framed, so we have seen it change a lot in a week. But we got to pick all the fixtures and counters, etc.

view from kitchen to breakfast area.

Noah's Room (upstairs) and Jacob's room is right next door.

Noah's 3rd Birthday

A very happy birthday boy!!

Bounce House fun. Noah had a few little friends over as well.

Present opening was quiet crazy!

Rankin Ranch

Well there are so many great pictures that I can't post them all. But here is my friend Sarah Wilder and her family. Sarah has been one of my best friends since we were 10ish. We can't really remember. Me and my family started going to the Rankin Ranch as guests since I was Noah's age (2years).
Noah was in heaven. No fear with any of the animals. He kept asking what is next mama? In a little over 24hours we: swam, ate, bottle feed a calf, feed and held chickens, rode a horse, played with "new friends", went on a tractor, hay ride, hike, brushed a pony, made cookies, played in sprinklers, and much more. Noah never slowed down!

This is Emma May Sarah's other daughter.

Jacob had a blast too! He just wanted to keep up with brother.

Cabin sleeping. Both boys and I ended up in one bed together.

Noah is checking out the horses and Grandma and him are feeding some of the horses carrots. Noah quickly informed us that carrots are for rabbits and we persuaded him that horse like them too.

Tractor driving...

Jacob wanted in on the fun!

This is out in the meadow where we rode in the hay wagon for dinner before we left.

Noah in the cold sprinklers!

Cookie making and decorating crew.

Adventures in California week one

Jacob wasn't too sure of the sand at first, but then there was no stopping him. We are at the beach by my parents house.

Seal Beach Pier after turbo kick boxing and coffee!

Jacob loves the swing!

The park at Seal Beach is literally on the beach and Noah had a blast with some other kids toys.

Jacob's first Birthday!!

Noah did the honor of blowing out the candle.

Noah really thinks the party is for him...but Jacob had fun as well!

Pre-party snacks and Noah just had to wear the birthday hat. I figured grapes were a good choice in that there was lots of cake and ice cream to follow.

4th of July

There is daring Noah going down the water slide at our community 4th of July events.
Daddy helped him up the first two times then noah said "I do it me-self."

Here they are debating if the slide is such a good idea or not?!

Waiting for the little neighborhood parade, enjoying shaved ice, and looking at our balloon!
