Stop, Drop and Roll

Noah's pre-k class was doing a unit on public service workers. The class had already had a police officer, a mailman and Jason volunteered to talk to his class about fire safety. I was so glad I got to go and watch. Noah was so proud his dad was there.

Hay ride and bonfire

One of Jason's friends invited us out for a hayride and cookout. It was a great evening. I love the smell of bonfire!

Dallas headin out to somewhere

Waiting for something to happen

the hayride.

the pumpkin patch. It was great - they had a pumpkin for each child to pick out

Noah's was huge

All the kids...so proud of picking their own pumpkins

Pizza it is

Noah learned a new recipe at school so he made us lunch....English Muffin Pizza's. Delish. Although I got in trouble because it was supposed to only be 3 ingredients - muffin, sauce and cheese. I added pepperoni to mine and he got a little annoyed with me. That's his new word - "annoying"

Red Maple for an Angel

Sweet Nathan a boy with SMA Type 1 (spinal muscular atrophy) earned his angel wings on April 28, 2010, he was 6. His parents are truly amazing people who did anything and everything for Nathan. I'm sorry I never got to meet Nathan but my friend, Shannon and I wanted to do something for the family so we decided to raise money to plant a tree in his name through Up with Trees of Tulsa. We chose a red maple because Nathan had a great head of red hair. We also chose Hunter Park since it is close to where our friends live. As we walked down to the park, Jennifer was saying that they used to take Nathan to the pond, we then notice all the trees ready for planting, Nathan's tree was going to be planted directly across from the pond. The morning couldn't have been more perfect for this wonderful family who lost a very special little boy. My thoughts are with them always.

Nate's tree just after planting....It was a gorgeous morning with the sun shining directly on us

I love fall and the pumpkin patch

We have gone to the Carmichael Pumpkin Patch since Noah was a year old. Love it, love it, love it. It's a great family outing on a beautiful day in the fall!

Noah was lucky enough to be the only boy invited from his pre-k class to Deidra's birthday party. It was so cute watching the girls and Noah interact with each other.
