Big Boy Trip

Last year my parents took Annalise to the mountains on what became known as her "Big Girl Trip." This year was Noah's turn and he had a blast!

My Dad was already in Colorado so Noah and my Mom flew to Denver to meet him and head up the mountain.

Noah had fun skiing, snowshoeing, building snowmen, and playing the Wii.

Getting bundled up to play in the snow, this snazzy hat used to belong to Uncle T-

Here he is snowshoeing-

Sledding!

Skiing! He was SO brave and great skiing. I'm so proud of him! He skied from the top of the mountain to the bottom 3 times on the last day! This might be one of my most favorite pictures of Noah.

Snowman Building-

Here he is in the car, traveling from the Houston airport to Austin. I think the exhaustion is a sign of a great trip!

In a couple of years it will be Elliot's turn!

Big Imaginations

A few weeks ago, Annalise and Noah spent a lot of time playing in our backyard with their imaginary horses, Blister and Buck. They even dressed the part! Every few minutes they would run inside and ask me what cowboy/cowgirl chores they needed to do next. They washed and brushed their horses, fed them, gave them fresh water, put new horseshoes on them, and even mucked their stalls.

5 Years of Noah!

We just love him to pieces. I'm so thankful to have him as my big boy. Noah is a combination of tough and rowdy boy and sweet sensitivity. I can always count on many hugs and kisses from him. He has sure come a long way from being our colicky baby. I can't wait to see what an awesome man he will become!

Sweet and Silly Elliot

Happy Birthday Noah!

I can't believe Noah is 5! Where has the time gone?!?

We were at my parent's house on his actual birthday this year. Here are some pics-

 Presents!

 Noah got this Wolverine costume!

Batman Cake!

The blue aftermath of the cake-

For his main present from us, he got money to take to the Lego Store in the mall. He was so excited to pick something out! I think this is one of the cutest pics of Noah ever. He even got a free poster for taking a picture with Lego Aquaman!

We are so thankful for our Noey-boy!
