oH mY hOw TiMe FlYs!!!

It has been a whole Month since I last updated my blog. I have just been enjoying my family SO much that I could'nt pull myself away from them. I keep falling more in love with my children each and every day. They are both getting so big so fast, that it seems like I blink my eyes and something has changed.

Noah is such a great person inside and out. He wants to be just like his DAD when he grows up. He is always doing things just like Daddy. He is always so excited when his Dad gets home, because he wants to play with him. Noah is loving his pre-school teacher, and is making a lot o f new friends there. He is learning so much there, and comes home every every day after school singing a new song, or reciting a new poem. Noah is such a great big brother. If Shayne is sad, it makes him sad too. He always wants to help out with her. He always wants her to sit next to him and he loves to make her laugh. He is a huge help to me in the kitchen and loves to spend time with his family. He also loves his friends, and wants them to live at our house with us. Noah-You are such a sweetheart! Your family loves you so much, and we love so much to watch you grow! Thank you for all of the kisses!!!

Shayne is growing like a weed. She is 7 1/2 months old, and has been crawling for about 2 weeks now. She is also pulling herself up on everything. She loves to eat ANYTHING that she can get her hands on. Shayne is such a good baby. She loves to smile at anyone and anything. She loves to make people laugh too. She knows that she has us all wrapped around her little finger. Shayne- Thank you for coming into our home. You are a perfect fitting peice to our family puzzle. We love you so much!

We had a HUGE rainstorm last week and Noah ran to the window because he LOVES to watch the LIGHTENING. He wanted Shayne to come and watch it with him, so we sat up chairs, and just watched the rain. It was such a fun time. Those little moments when our family is together are the absolute best moments of my life! I would rather be sitting at home with my SWEET husband, and two DARLING children doing NOTHING, than do anything else in this whole world. I am a very happy and content woman!

Hopefully it will be a really nice week!!

On WEDNESDAY AUGUST 12, 2009 Noah had his first day of pre-school. His teacher is Ms. Neena, and Noah just loves her. He had so much fun at school, and made some new friends. I can't believe my boy is big enough to be starting school. When I took him there, he just got his bag and ran into class. He didn't even look back. Which was great that he was so comfortable, but I have to admit, I got a little teary eyed when I left. We are SO PROUD of you Noah! You are such a great blessing in our lives!!!

Also on WEDNESDAY, Shayne had her 6 MONTH check up. She now weighs 16.3 pounds and is 26 inches long. Doctor Barret said that she is growing just great. He also said she is quite advanced for her age, because she is sitting up on her own, she stands well, and she uses her hands very well too. Also, she started getting on her hands and knees and rocking. I'm SOO not ready for her to start crawling yet, but it looks like she will be up and away in no time. Shayne, we love you so much.

The Ranch!

Every year for yet another family reunion, my family from my Grandma's side goes to a ranch called Hidden Valley Ranch in Baker Nevada. It is so much fun there, but the drive is awful so a lot of the time we don't end up going. This year after begging on my hands and knees for months, Adam finally decided that we would be going too. We all had so much fun. We seriously just sat, ate and laughed the whole weekend. Adam, Noah, Uncle Byron and Aidan were a little bit more productive though because they went fishing a lot. Here are some pictures of our fun!
My cute Family!

These kids had so much fun together!!

Noah caught more fish than anyone there. He loves to fish!

First thing in the morning!

Shayne was a trooper sleeping in the tent with us!

"I'm in WOVE"

Noah and I were making a cake today, and he wanted to put white frosting on it, but I only had Chocolate frosting. Here is our conversation:
Me- "Sorry, we only have Chocolate frosting."
Noah- "But I don't like Chocolate frosting."
Me- "I know you will like it."
Noah-"How do you know that?"
Me-"Because I'm your mom, and I know everything about you."
Noah-"You don't know one thing about me mom."
Me-"What don't I know about you?"
Noah- "I'm in WOVE."(with stars in his eyes)
Me- "You are?! With who?"
Noah-"Anna from my church class. I can't wait to tell daddy!"
