Warmer weather (picture overload)

Saturday we spent a wonderful day in Weston enjoying the warm weather and spending  time with cousins.
Noah's great grandma and great-great grandma came over for a visit. Noah loves these 2 ladies and often asks to go visit them.
 Noah reading to great-great grandma.
 Maxine and great grandma. Maxine is the happiest little girl and just loves everyone.
Noah even got great grandma to watch his tricks on the tramp
 
The weather outside was perfect! The cousins had a blast enjoying the sun and the fun things grandpa and grandma have for them.
 

 Noah loves Susie, they follow each other everywhere.
 Yes it's blurry but he is getting so good at blowing bubbles I just had to post it anyway.
 
 
Noah loves his cousins, he is very protective of them and always wants to help with them. Unless of course he's tired but what 3 year old is nice when they are tired, I haven't met any.
 pushing Eliza



 We got grandma's little slide out, Noah realized he is to big for it as his legs cover the entire slide but it was perfect for the twins.
 Watching Miles & Kristi's horses.
 Noah was trying to show Eliza how to roll down the hill



 Feeding grandma's chickens.
 Noah told me he was watching the chicken show and he would let me know when he was done.
 Amelia woke up and joined us for the fun.


 The twins got sunglasses and they are adorable in them!
 
 Maxine has to be right in the middle of what her 3 cousins are doing. Apparently when I went outside with the Noah and the twins she had a complete melt down until she got out there too.
 Feeding Susie treats

Uncle Miles pulled out the little 4-wheeler again, Noah didn't want to drive it this weekend but he did want to ride it if someone else drove him around.

 Jessie & Amelia
 I cut Noah out a bit but he was leading them around showing them where to drive
 Jessie and Eliza
 Jessie and Noah
 I had my camera in my hand and she ran up saying cheese
 Cousins jumping
 Eliza and Amelia forgot to watch where they were running and somehow I caught the moment after impact
 Maxine's first 4-wheeler ride
 That is one proud Daddy! She loved it
 Uncle Mikes turn

 She couldn't just sit there Noah had to push her around.

 Great Grandma & Grandma S came for a visit also. Maxine was to busy to smile and play, she wanted to eat grandma's jacket
 Playing with Grandma was more important than posing for a picture.

 Watching a movie together
Perfect way to end the day, a story with grandma. We love our time visiting family and playing with cousins! Can't wait for more summer days!

Sunshine, warmer temps and outside activities

Welcome to spring! 
Noah and I went to visit my parents this weekend. 
Saturday Noah "helped" grandpa get the wood unloaded for what will one day be a playhouse.
I looked out the window a bit later and saw my parents setting up the trampoline, my guess is that wasn't their idea but a certain 3 year old's. 
Today Noah kept asking us to come watch him jump on the trampoline. He has some pretty good tumbling skills, my phone won't upload the video but here are some still shots.
Maxine got in on the jumping action too. One of my favorite things is to watch Noah interact with his cousins, he sure loves them all.
A few years ago Uncle Miles brought home a small 4-wheeler, today he and grandpa got it running. Noah never even hesitated he jumped on and was racing around the yard. I'll try to get a video to work put for now here are a few pictures. 


He was a natural unlike his mother who was not so good at learning to drive one, just ask my sister. 
We ended our weekend of welcoming spring by visitng the kid goats at my parents neighbors farm. If you remember Noah loves goats, one kept jumping on him and he didn't even care he just likes them that much. 
Thanks grandpa for catching one!
