FLOWERS...FINALLY!

As most of you know, our yard at our new house is...well....less than perfect! A lot less than perfect. But I am working on getting at least our front yard decent enough to look at until we do our actual landscaping that we want. Yesterday Noah and I went outside to play, and I found some flowers. The only flowers in our yard at the moment. We have bushes, but this was a very exciting thing for me to find some flowers.

NOAH AND HIS FRIENDS

BRODIE, NOAH AND AIDAN

RYLEE AND NOAH

NOAH AND FRIENDS FROM CHURCH

My cute Noah is so much fun. He loves to play with friends all the time. Everyone be prepared, because this summer we will be calling a lot to play. Noah gets bored with just me at home, so he is always wanting to go to friends houses. Thanks to everyone for being our friends!!
And as for the Hall Family. We are so sad that you are leaving us, but we are so excited for you and your new job. Remember us. We will for sure remember you!

OUR PRIMARY ACTIVITY

For our primary activity, we wanted the children to learn about what the troops were doing in other countries. Each child brought a toy from home to give to the troops so they could take it to other kids around the world that don't have as much as we do. Noah took his truck, and was so proud to be giving it to kids that dont have anything. We had an Apatchi Helecoptor land in our church parking lot so we could all see it up close. We had relay games, and there was also a movie that we watched about humanitarian projects that are going on to help other countries that don't have much. When Noah was watching the movie, he jumped up and wanted to go get some food to give to the people in the video. I'm glad that Noah is starting to understand that we are very blessed. This activity was so fun and good for all of us.

ATLANTA BABY

On April 6, 2008, I had the opportunity to go to Atlanta Georgia for my work to do some computer stuff. It was really fun for me to go somewhere that I had never been before. It was really beautiful there, and the people were very friendly. However, I was gone for 5 days, and really missed my family. Here are some pictures of beautiful Atlanta.
