Saturday after I finished working the flu clinic (giving shots) Jessie let Noah & I catch a ride t Grandpa & Grandma N's house while Mark was off flying. Shout out to Jessie & Mike for babysitting so Mark & I could work.

Showing off his cute Halloween shirt from Grandma N



He was so tired & finally fells asleep sucking on Kristi's hoodies strings, what a good Aunt to sacrifice her clothes

Sporting a new hat

Noah loves his talks with Uncle Miles.

After our fun filled day we came home to watch cousin Axton. He was so helpful in getting Noah ready for bed, especially at bath time.

Life is good

Brisk, chilly, wonderful

On my day off Thursday Noah & I braved the fall morning & went for a walk. Huge shout out to JJ Cole Bundle Me.

Great-Grandma S made this hat for Noah, is it just adorable!

All bundled up & ready to go

I did not pose him, this is how he looked when we got home.

His nose was a little cold & his hands ( he refuses for me to cover his hands, freaking out if I do) but other than that the walk with the bundle me was great! No fighting with a blanket & best part is it straps to your stroller/carseat so you don't have to worry about them sliding out the bottom since they are in the mini sleeping bag. In fact I believe it is time for a walk!

Last week I received a call from out apartment manager telling me we would be the

recipient of new stairs on Tuesday, anyone who has paid attention our stairs know this is exciting. The metal holding the concrete up was falling down, it was only a matter of time till the concrete fell too. You think I exaggerate, nope ask our neighbor who's stairs did collapse. Because of this we had 2 options, 1 be stuck in our house for 4-5 hours or get out & stay out for 4-5 hours. I had no reason to have to leave the house but the though of being "stuck" was just to much for me so Noah & I headed up to my parents house.

We bundled up & walked to the farm so Noah could visit Grandpa at work.

Later in the day Noah played with Grandma's chickens, evertime the rooster would crow he would yell back at it. It was hilarious, I kept waiting for him to cry but he never did.

Question to fellow bloggers, is anyone else having trouble with the video loader/player. We can't load video's to our blog or watch those loaded on to other blogs. Any suggestions?

Noah & I got to spend last Saturday with the H side of the family, watched conference & had lunch with everyone. Mark had to work & we missed him. Saturday evening with went to my parents house for the remainder of the weekend. Dad N, Mark & Mike went to priesthood session while Mom, Jessie, I & Noah stayed home to watch Letter from Juliet (loved it)

Sunday was Dad N's birthday, we had a small party with just his kids. Mom made an amazing trifle dessert (I may have spelled that wrong). Dad served his mission in England & loves this dessert from there.

Sunday was such a wonderful fall so had a picnic lunch!

I am sad to say though I have lived here for 5 years I have never hiked the wind caves so Saturday we conquered, a few things were learned this day.

1-being on limited activity for the last few months of pregnancy really got me out of shape

2- pretty sure I have exercise induced asthma, will be checked when insurance takes effect

3-my hubby, sister Jessie & friend Terra are awesome to hike with, even if you are wheezing....not huffing & puffing literally wheezing like breathing through a straw (hence the fear of asthma)

4- we are so blessed to live here!

5- fall leaves are so pretty to hike through

I have been called a picture freak & yes it is true, but I ask how can you not take pictures of this....

Great Aunt Marianne's Birthday, she LOVES Halloween

Some cute pics from his babysitter. It makes me so happy to see him so happy!

When Noah is put into his bed at night is all swaddled up tight, well he must be a move around sleeper because I keep finding him like this.

A few of my favorite pictures from the last few weeks (in no order at all):

He really does smile all the time, he just prefers to "talk" to the camera

Getting ready for the first day of Daycare.

Chatting with Great-Granddad, Noah loves his head like this you have to fight him to have it straight.

Napping on the farm

Talking with Grandpa N

Anna was so excited to hold Noah

wearing one of his Daddy's outfits to church

Playing with Taege, he is sharing Noah with Noah :)

Making progress in Axton being okay with Noah

Great-Grandpa 80th Birthday

I can't believe 2 months has passed since Noah joined our family. Today was the dreaded 2 month check up, complete with shots. He was not a fan of needles & vaccine being injected into his muscles. Since he sees the doctor I work for my friends had to give him the shots, he was not impressed with them & I think they wanted to cry with him. The doctor says he is growing great, physically & developmentally. I just can't believe how much he has changed in the last 2 months.

His growth stats are:

Weight 12 lbs 2 oz, 59 percentile

Height 24.25 inches, 89 percentile

Head 16.3 inches, 83 percentile

one of my friends from home us made these adorable moccasin, they almost fit.
