Noah

It's amazing how even on a stressful day this little guy can brighter our whole life

Enjoying our little Christmas tree and story time with daddy.

We traded in one of our cars this week and during all the paperwork Noah realized what was going on and he had a complete meltdown because we were getting a different car. It made us and the salesman laugh really hard.

We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas season and enjoy the blessings in your lives! 

Thanksgiving

Due to Marks schedule he wasn't able to home on Thursday so last Sunday we had a mini thanksgiving. Mom & Dad H let us invade their house, our apartment just doesn't fit more than 4-5 people. 

I decided to use a new brining recipe this year, it was amazing in my opinion....lemon and orange. 

Mom H always has such cute table decorations, I always think I will be like that but unless I am at her house it doesn't happen. 

Noah sure enjoyed having the attention of these guys for the evening 

Noah and I headed to my parents house Wednesday evening. We had lots of fun getting to hang out with family. 

Uncle Mike & Aunt Jessie win the awesome award for jumping with Noah. 

Grandpa is always coming up with something fun for the grandkids 

Thursday afternoon I could hear Noah giggling and playing I found this 

Of course his cousins couldn't be left out of the fun 

Eliza kept telling me to come up, she would do the come here motion with her hands. She is cute but it wasn't going to happen. 

We were able to go up visit great grandpa and great grandma along with cousins. 

Noah liked all the lights outside their house and getting to play with my cousins son Wesley. 

We couldn't my have asked for better weather, we were able to play outside multiple times which is unusual for November. 

Friday my mom and I took Noah to town for a haircut so he wouldn't look like an orphan for Christmas pictures on Saturday, it always amazes me how a haircut?makes him look so much older 

Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving! 

Zoo

We made one last trip to the local zoo this month. 

The monkeys must like cooler weather as they were super active. 

Can you tell Noah didn't want to stand still for the picture?

Maxine loved being outside maybe next summer she'll appreciate the animals.

We recently has some friends move back to town. Gentri and Leo were able to meet us for the fun, sadly Heber had to work :(

The boys hit it off right away and enjoyed running around together. 

The zoo recently got reindeer, I have no idea why but I am super excited about this and could have watched them for longer than we did. 

See they are just cute!! 

We always love feeding the ducks when we visit the zoo. 

The zoo has always had peacocks that just wander. As a child they terrified me, as an adult I am still not a huge fan... 

The boys weren't scared, especially Leo he just took off after it and Noah tried to keep up. Little boys being boys fills my heart with joy! 

BANG!

Started off with a bang, literally, just like every November has for as long as I can remember with the annual pumpkin blow. My video won't upload so here are some stills pictures of the event.

Noah is ready for the big boom along with some of his favorite ladies in the world, Sylvia and "miss-awisa" (Melissa) 

Blast time

Mark, his parents and aunt were able to spend some time shooting clay pigeons later in the morning. 

Noah was not a fan of the guns, silly kid since he's been around them since literally 2 weeks old, so he wore his ear protection while playing with cousin Easton 

Fall fun

We had a beautiful October and early November where we got to spend lots of time enjoyig the beautiful place we live. 

Grandma N stacked racked up a pile of leaves for the kids to play in. Noah and Eliza (pink jacket) jumped in and had a blast, Amelia (purple jacket)  preferred to walk in them but would sit if she was careful about it and didn't get Ito deep. 

Noah loves the trampoline and is learning how to jump with small kids. 

Noah and I met up with Jessie and the twins along with our friend Terra and her two kids to go to the North Logan pumpkin walk. It is a really neat thing to see and Noah really enjoyed it this year as lots of the displays were things he likes:

Mario

The Pixar theme featuring: 

Planes

Cars

Toy story 

The are always lots of wood characters boards with face cutout's.

We tried to get a good picture if Noah and his buddy Benjamin this is the best I could get 

Noah & Amelia liked playing peek-a-boo 

Amelia was so excited when there was one at her level, look lower left....

For Halloween my office dressed as minions 

This is Rochelle, she helps keep me sane on bad days.

I decided that Noah and his 3 cousins living here should have a theme for Halloween, luckily my sister and sister-in-law went along with the idea. 

Mark did an amazing job making the wagon a firetruck. 

Since we watch Maxine on my days off while her mom & dad work she got in on the cousin fun too, she is the littlest dalmation and my brothers 3 month old. 

Maxine all ready to go trick or treating downtown

Noah & Amelia 

Eliza

Amelia

My handsome fireman. He had so much fun. We met up with neighborhood friends for nighttime trick of treating and Noah had a blast running from house to house with his adorable friend cole, I wasn't able to capture a picture because they moved to fast. Happy fall!
