Monday, Monday

                                                         Mom's side patio Buterfly Iris's

Monday morning Mom and I enjoyed the side patio. While Noah  came in and out of the fence, we rocked in our rocking chairs and listened to the sweet sounds o country life. Very Relaxing. Birds and Bumble Bee's sang their spring time songs.. Noah loved the  bumble bee's buzzing around. While Noah played in the side yard he sang, I'm bumble bee.. "I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee" I'm loving the spring weather!

My Birthday Flower Arrangement

It was my birthday weekend, and we were gearing up for the Patty Day Parade. We had family down, and I was looking forward to getting some great pictures. Sadly, my camera went out. My sweet husband rushed to the store that moment and bought me a new camera. Happy Birthday ME!! I was so excited to get a new camera! That afternoon Kelly went outside and picked a fresh arrangement from the yard. Here is a picture of my fresh flower arrangement taken with my new camera! I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband. I love you Kelly! I can only hope I make you as happy as you make me...

My Birthday on The Hill

Mom, Dad Kory Sara, and I celebrated my 35th birthday yesterday. Kory and Daddy sat outside and cooked steaks.. Mom stayed inside, and made  baked potatos, macroni and cheese, corn on the cob, and banana pudding. Sara lounged in the recliner, and watched Saturday Night live. Noah and I was back and forth enjoying everyone's company.  Other than missing Kelly and Michele, we had a GRAND time! The steaks were delicous, the Pudding was sweet, and the  company was great! Noah even told me Happy Birthday! Thank Y'all. You all made my birthday so special!

Night Night Kiss

It is 'Night Night' time at MeMol and PaPa's house, and MeMol is sneaking in a quick kiss before I lay Noah down.. He is sitting next to his new friend, Bunny. MeMol and PaPa gave him this adorable rabbit for Easter. With his floppy ears, and soft coat he is the perfect night time partner! Night Night, Noah and Bunny!

Doesn't Miss a Beat

Noah eating his yummy chex mix, while Pokie patiently waits for a bite! Noah is Pokie's BEST friend; Wherever Noah goes Pokie follows. Here is a scenario: Noah runs down the hall w a  HANDFUL OF TREATS, and  his faithful dog follows behind! When crumbs hit the floor Pokie Joe is there for the save! I get mad when Pokie Joe bugs Noah while he eats, but I am thankful I do not have to get the vacuum out every time Noah runs through the house with a cracker! Scenario Two:  Noah's hand is coated w blueberry yogurt! Pokie Joe is once again there for the save, however I would rather that than creamy yogurt  on the  couch! Pokie the Joe doesn't miss a beat, and NOT ONE SINGLE TREAT!  Gotta love it people! Gotta love it!

Noah the Great

When Noah was first born I had  to hold a pacifier in his mouth at night in order for him to sleep.When I let go of the pacifier he would wake up and start to cry. I learned how to hold a pacifier in place while sleeping at the same time! People told me that I was spoiling him, but you do what you have to in order to sleep.. Night after night. Little by little. Our sleeping patterns  started to get  better. See... He was finding his thumb, and the rest is HISTORY!

Mom and Dad bought Noah a fort swing set for the backyard. It has everything! A slide, rock wall, swings, three different levels, and a picnic table. AWESOME!   Kelly finished putting it together yesterday, and Noah the Explorer has been all over it! He sat at his picnic table smiling, and said "picnic table"..  With little assistance he climbs to the first floor, then down. He loves going up and down, over and over! Kelly attached his steering wheel and telescope onto the first floor deck, so he can enjoy them now; obviously he can not climb onto the other two levels yet.. He was overcome w joy, while exploring his play fort. The fort has gone up in stages over a period of time, whenever Kelly had time he would piddled w it. Now it is fully functional, and Noah could not be happier! Jackie and Todd came down a few weeks ago for a weather conference and we got to visit w them. While they were here Jackie took some pictures of Noah in the backyard. Jackie is a professional photographer so I was so excited when she offered to take a few shots of our boy!  Here is a few shots from her session..  Noah Patrick sliding down his big green slide.  Jacquelyn Jackson Photography
