Lots of Happenings This Week

Noah's first driving lesson. We were on a short gravel road exiting a state park area and decided to give Noah his first driving lesson. Can you tell he was having fun? He thought it was fun to try and steer hard left no matter what. Luckily we all lived!



How I found Noah at 11:00pm the other night. Once again wearing Levi's sweater vest and a pair of 6-9 month size jeans...backwards. He's got some scrawney buns!



Of course, the summer doesn't officially start for me until I hit the lake! The boys and I went to Lotawana for part of the weekend to visit Papa K and so I could go to a friend's wedding. While we were there we all took Levi on his first ever swim. He didn't care for the life jacket (it was a touch too big). Once we got it off he turned into quite the little fishy. He really seemed to enjoy, or at least be able to "chillax" in the water. He is a good little kicker too. His brother on the other hand prefers to stay in the boat or on the shore rocks. Noah has always been squirmy when it comes time to water he can't walk or sit in. The funny thing is that Noah would scream and squaller when we tried to get him into the deeper water, but the last day there he went fishing w/ dad and fell head first out of the boat while looking in the water. Dad said that he pulled him out and asked if he wanted to go in or if he was cold (it was early). Noah said, "No, I'm okay. I'm not cold. Lets keep fishing." He won't voluntarily swim, but he will accidently swim. Go figure!








Noah finally got to ride a school bus for the first time. It took us from the Hearnes Center to the Air Show. He had a blast on the bus and thought it was so much fun!




These pictures were in/around a HUGE helicopter at the Air Show. Don't ask me what kind of heli it is b/c I have no clue (thats Preston area of expertise). Noah thought it was neat saying "hi" to the pilot.






The best part of the action that Noah, Levi, and I stayed for was the parachuters. They're the little red specks there in the sky.




The boys hanging out and tumbling around with each other.




Gotta have the baby food all over the face kind of pictures :)

Wet 'n Wild

Today was plenty hot to pull out our sprinkler and play! The past few years, Noah has never been very excited about having water sprayed, splashed, or dumped on his head, until now. The other day I was hosing some stuff off in the driveway and I sprayed some water his way, he actually wanted me to keep doing it! I was very excited, so we pulled out the sprinkler and soaked ourselves. Levi joined us for his first water experience(besides baths). As you can see in the pictures, he was less than thrilled. He did better when I held him, but still wasn't too thrilled about it. I was drenched! I wanted to get more pictures, but Preston had to go out of town suddenly so I didn't have enough arms (and had to keep the camera dry too).

Rasberries!

Tonight we went to McD's and were thoroughly entertained by Levi blowing rasberries! He thought it was the funniest thing he's figured out how to do in his whole little life. The video only captured a small portion of him doing this. Of course, as soon as I start videoing him we have strangers come up to admire and talk about him. What can I say, he's a people magnet and a cutie pie!

More Pics

I love that my boys love each other. Preston and I pray that it lasts throughout their lives, especially while they grow up together. You can see how much Noah is enjoying being a big brother!

Tired of Rain

It has rained everyday for at least a week now. I am very thankful we haven't had the flooding others have had, however, I'm ready for it to be over. Anyhow, I looked out the back door and couldn't help but enjoy the beauty that comes with the rain. Our backyard seemed as though it had a rainforest effect going on. Everything was extremely green and thick. Even though our little piece of earth is small, I love our backyard view.

Matching Outfits

We went to The Children's Place this weekend and got a great deal on a these cute outfits. I was amazed we found the sizes we needed for both boys. This is the first matching outfits they've had, and its fun when they're this little to dress the alike. Noah though it was very cool!

My Veggie Garden

I am making my first attemp at growing a few veggies myself. I am very excited! Noah is as excited as I am too. I planted tomatoes and broccoli from starter plants, and planted 2 types of lettuce and zucchini from seed. I am looking forward to watching them grow and seeing if I actually get anything to sprout up from them. Anyway, here is my garden box.
