go noah go

last night we went to a multicultural night for noah's preschool

there were a lot of people there

with some performers and a potluck dinner

at one point they asked if anyone wanted to go up and perform

maybe a song...anything

so a cute little girl went up and sang

and then noah was right behind her

he went up in front of everyone

all by himself

and sang i am a child of god

it was priceless

quiet..but priceless

clock redo

before

after

i got sick of our clock so i gave it a little makeover

like it?

halloween recap

the most awesome man in the yellow hat

holding curious george

we had such a fun halloween

we went out to breakfast

then later to the city halloween party

and to the church halloween party

then trick or treating at the mall

and ate lots of candy

to answer your questions

michael made noah's hat (isn't he a doll?)

i made noah's tie and pants and dyed his shirt

i also made a brown fleece outfit for hazel

but i didn't think it was obvious she was a monkey

i was lucky enough to get her a $2 costume friday

from old navy

everyone loved them

people were asking to take their picture all day

noah (of course) loved all the attention

now presenting

Curious George

and

The Man in the Yellow Hat

happy halloween

halloween 2009

hazel's first haircut

before

so long, right?

during

after

you know hazel is the most darling girl

and she rocks some pretty sweet pigtails

but her hair was just too long

so today she got her first haircut

isn't she the cutest?

swimming

the other day we drove past the pool

noah said he wanted to go swimming

i said we would soon, but not that day

so i guess he got sick of waiting and took matters into his own hands

yesterday we found him playing in a full sink of super cold water

he said, "i goin' swimming"

noah, you are hilarious!

maybe we'll go swimming today

in a real pool

going, going, gone

hazel is (finally) walking

and she is such a cute walker

but not such a good listener

she thinks she is so funny walking away

she walks where she wants and

laughs the whole time

silly girl

spokane what?!

weekend highlights

we drove to spokane

couldn't take a picture of ourselves very well

so here's brian and becky next to us

we went to a mall

then we ate at......red robin

michael, noah, and brian

crystal, becky, and me

hazel and michael

then we went to target

becky and i gave the guys a break and took all the kids home with us

crystal and hazel

me and becky driving home

the kids all fell asleep on our way home

super fun

i'm happy to have some new things

and left over red robin fries to eat later tonight

caught

a visit to my brother's house

this last weekend

we went on a little drive

to see my brother his wife and their 4 darling kids

they were so sweet and watched our kids so we could go to the temple

it was really nice

and we enjoyed spending time with their family

aww

we actually got a good picture for once

how sweet

hazel and her bff

this is hazel and her friend crystal

aren't they the cutest?

hazel's just 5 weeks older than crystal

and they're super similar

it's really fun to watch them play together

especially in matching pjs (not planned)

mr independent

today while we were eating dinner

michael and i were talking about what we needed from the store

noah asked if we were going grocery shopping

we said we weren't

he said "i go grocery shopping....by myself"

we asked what he was going to get

his response wasn't very easy to understand

especially when we asked how he would get there

he said "i go five click and then i be there"

it seemed like an odd mode of transportation

but we gave permission anyway and said "....ok"

noah was so excited about the thought of going by himself to the store

until he realized a harsh reality

and said "....i can't open the door" (it's childproofed)

we all laughed

the end

twinkie

our friends

brian and becky

came over a few nights ago

and michael and brian

had a twinkie eating contest

before

during

after

end result

michael 6: brian 5

sadly michael didn't feel sick or anything

good job guys

you make us proud

to answer your question..

no i didn't make the eat and drink signs in our kitchen

we bought them at a little shop here in pullman

they are vinyl decals that wouldn't stick to our wall

so i put them on frames

thanks for assuming i made them

you're too sweet

and

i'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to make them

you could even print them off the computer in the font you want

and frame words.....

now i'm thinking it was silly we spent money on them

but it was mostly because i was mad at michael

and he was trying to make it up to me

it worked

word

exactly one year ago today

i took these pictures of my family

hazel has changed a ton in a year

she is so big now

noah is way less two (crazy)

but we're still working on potty training

and michael

oh michael

your beard is good

just a compliment about your beard

and i miss it
