Noah's Party

Noah's birthday party went great. It was so much fun to see him open some of his presents. He got his first trainset, lots of new movies (thank god!), Mr. Potato Head, Cool stacker puzzle, new swing for him and max, basketball goal, new lawn mower, lots and lots of new toys. What a great birthday! He actually wore his costume without a fight. I think once he realized people would give him treats he would do whatever they wanted.

Noah and Max new swing. Noah loved pushing max - until the swing got him in the face.

Take that Mummy

Poor inflatable mummy he didn't know what hit him. Notice, right when i say let's get more candy he's done.

Noah is 2 today

You've grown up so much! Daddy and I love you very much. Tomorrow is Noah's birthday party. We are just having a few people over to the house for pizza and cake. Then taking everyone to Hallowzooeen. The Tulsa Zoo has trick or treating at the zoo.

Pumpkin Patch

Noah had a blast at the pumpkin patch. We had the boys pictures taken in the morning and then headed over so Noah could pick out pumpkins. He jumped right in to those pumpkins.


This one was a little ripe.

Noah playing with Max

It's like overnight Noah has realized he has a brother he can interact with.

New Swingset

Some friends donated this swingset that their kids have outgrown. Noah loves it and soon max will too! Noah immediately climbed up the ladder and slid down the slide all on his own. He is a great climber. The boys had their well checks today - Max is 26" (41%) and 15.3lbs (16%) long and thin, Noah is 27.8lbs (46%) and 32.5" (10%) Short and stocky! It's funny Noah was at 7% on weight at the age max is now. My how he has grown!

Fishing Trip

Jason caught an 11lb Northern Pike (36").

Busy days

Things seem really busy lately. I am ready for the month of October to be done. Max is no longer sleeping through the night....yes, he actually was once we moved his crib out of Noah's room, but he got sick and now we are up again. My last day with Hilti was on Thursday, it was difficult saying goodbye but I am anxious to get started at my new job. We had a garage sale this past weekend. I don't think I will have another one again - ever. We did make some money though which is bonus, it's just a lot of work. Noah's birthday is right around the corner. We are going to have a small party at our house and then take everyone to HallowZooeen. The Tulsa Zoo stays open in the evening for trick or treating. We went last year and had a lot of fun. I can't believe Noah will be 2 and Max is 6 months. Crazy how time flies.

Noah's new sleeping position. Yep we go in and check on him and his pants are pulled down to his knees and diaper half off. Time for potty training??? Perhaps????

Bye to my friends at Hilti.

Garage Sale. Love the sheets on the wall. I was to lazy to take stuff off the walls so I covered them with sheets. White Trash Garage Sale.

Max enjoying the garage sale too

Max's Halloween Costume. I COULDN'T RESIST Buying this one!

Survived the Week

Jason made it back from fishing. Thanks to my mother I survived the week. They caught a lot of fish so it made the drive worth it (16 hours to Minnesota). Some pics of the boys playing around one night.
