I Tried!!

Before the wedding, I tried to get a good picture of Noah and Brayden in their little matching outfits. As you can see, it didn't exactly work all that well...

Trip to Iowa

Last weekend, we went to Iowa for Dan's sister Christie's wedding. We had a great time and it was a very nice wedding. Here are some pictures from our trip. I will be back later with pics from the actual wedding. Enjoy!

Happy Wedding!

Christie and Jim are getting married today! Congrats!!!

Procrastination

So, I am here posting because I'd rather play on the computer than pack. Ugh, I hate packing. I'm soooo excited for Noah to see his grandparents...but I'm so not excited about the drive. And I am swamped at work, so I'm probably going to have to do work this weekend too...yuck! Good news, though...I checked the weather forecast and Saturday in IA looks pretty nice. Cold, but not snowy. That means I should be able to get my 9-miler in before the wedding. Excellent! Then I can go have fun guilt free for the rest of the day. It should be a fun time and we are looking forward to seeing everyone!

Noah and Mom's Day of Fun

Noah and I had today off (Yeah for school holidays!). So, we went to a bounce house this morning and then to Chik-Fil-A for lunch. After a quick nap, we spent the rest of the day at the park because it was 61 degrees today! Awesome! It was so nice to have a day that was just Noah and I (Dan had to work unfortunately or it could have been a fun family day). It was a nice preview of what this summer will be like. Also, I was exhausted at the end of the day because Noah is such a wild child. I certainly won't be bored this summer. I'd better get him enrolled in some classes soon. We're definitely doing swimming lessons and then maybe a gymnastics or yoga class. I have searched and searched for a soccer league for 3 year olds near Castle Rock, but I can't find one. Most places start at 4 around here, or I would get him into that. Nothing cuter than toddler soccer!!!

Story Time with Uncle Mikey

Noah's Uncle Mike (Dan's brother) calls every once in a while to read Noah a bedtime story. Two nights ago he called and read him a story about pirates. Noah just loves it and it is such a great way for him to stay in touch with his godfather. Noah thinks his Uncle Mikey is the greatest!

My Valentine

This is the shirt that Noah made at school today. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!!

New Fence!

We now have a fully fenced in backyard. The dudes came today and finished it. Makes it so much easier to let Japhy out!!!

Oh, no!!!

Painting With What?

Dan and I painted our dining room today. It turned out really nice and I will post a picture later this week when I am not feeling too lazy to get up off my butt and take a pic. Anyway, so I had a few paintbrushed laying on the floor that we hadn't used yet. One was that spongy kind that you usually just use for touch up. I look up and Noah is licking it and "painting" the couch with his spit.

I say, "What are you doing?"

Noah says, "I am painting the couch with my germs!"

Good News

My job is not being eliminated! Woohoo! That means:

1. I'll have a job, which I am very thankful for.

And...

2. It's a job I like!

Thanks everyone for your concern and good thoughts/vibes! I really appreciate it.

Super Heroes

Recently, we have all been tying capes on our backs and running around playing super heroes. Dan really wanted to get Japhy to play too but he kept trying to eat his cape:


I mean, he REALLY wanted him to wear a cape:


Here are some other pics from super hero time:

Oh, and by the way...GO STEELERS!
