Noah loves the water

Noah finally got in the water at the beach and boy did he enjoy it! Can't you tell by the look on his face???

Now I know my ABCs (almost)

Noah has been practicing his ABCs for a while now and he is slowly incorporating more letters each time he tries. When he first started he missed about half the alphabet but now he almost has it all with the exception of the "L and N." When will he say the whole thing???

We went back to the exact spot where we were married (7-24-05). Yes, it's been three years! Sadly, the food has changed and we had to order different entrees from our original menu . Last year I asked, "Will he (Noah) join us again next year???" but we left him at home with Auntie Cathy. Next year, we may decide to go to Shutters for brunch instead of dinner with both of our sons... will that happen???

Playdate with Nathan

We finally made it out to Playa Vista for a playdate with Nathan. We met him at Gymboree months ago and found that the boys are the same age (both born in November) and get along very well. Noah had a blast going down various slides and copying little Nate. When will we head back???

28 weeks

I am now 28 weeks pregnant! Time is flying fast. Here is a shot of us at the doctor's office (Noah loves going with me and playing with the water cooler). How will he react to his little bro???

Happy Birthday Stacey!

Today we celebrated Stacey's birthday! My mom made an orange creme cake which was absolutely delicious. Noah and Kaitlyn were mesmerized by the candle... wonder what she wished for???

Bubblemania

We love the Zimmer Musuem! Every Wednesday they have a special program for the tots and this week's focus was on bubbles! It was really interesting to see all the different ways bubbles could be made. All the children got an opportunity to go inside a bubble at the end of the show. Wonder what Noah was thinking???

The next Tiger

Noah really enjoys playing in my parents' backyard when he visits them. He usually plays with the sprinklers, waters the vines, and picks fruit. Lately Noah's been practicing his golf game. As you can see, my dad was pretty impressed with his skill. Tiger Woods was two years old when he made his television debut on the Mike Douglas show swinging his clubs... when will Noah make his debut on Letterman???

Beach time

Noah went to the beach for the first time with his sidekick, Kaitlyn. They had a fun time building sandcastles. Let me retract that, Noah had a fun time building and Kaitlyn had a fun time knocking them down. But in reality, I think the two biggest kids, Jawsh and Bill, had the most fun. Everytime I checked on them they were digging tunnels, making holes, and carrying buckets of water back and forth, while Noah and Kaitlyn sat and splashed in the sandcastle. It was great fun. Noah liked to be by the water, but was not ready to go in yet. When will he want to go in???

Happy 4th!

This Independence Day was spent with family and friends. My mom made kalbi and Bill grilled hamburgers and hotdogs... needless to say a great BBQ. Dan provided the fireworks and everyone had a fun time exploding them in the backyard. I did not allow Noah to go outside while they were playing with the fireworks, but he was able to play Guitar Hero! Will he get to go outside next year???

Haircut #2

We took Noah back to The Yellow Balloon for his second haircut. This time around he did not cry as much but he was definitely not happy. As his hair was being cut he kept saying, "all done." He must of said that at least twenty times. Jawsh was pretty pleased with the cut... what do you think???

Special visit

Kaitlyn made it out to the westside to visit Noah. We went to Gymboree's freeplay time and boy did those two have fun. Kaitlyn really enjoyed crawling and jumping over things and Noah liked following her (for a bit). Here they are mesmerized by the bubbles. When will she visit again???
