I ended up taking a few more shots today because Noah was being so stinkin' weird and crazy. He was also being a bit of a brat... my fault for not making him nap today. He always gets crazy if he doesn't get a nap. He was hitting everything with this plastic tube and screaming. He never hit me or the baby so I was just kind of watching him go nuts. My excuse will be that I wanted him to burn energy. He also was crawling around the deck, kissing my feet, "I love feet" and cracking up. Then he was crawling under my chair telling me "I love butt" and cracking up. Already with the little boy potty humor.
It was so nice once the sun was off the deck. There was a great breeze blowing and it was maybe 76 or so in the shade. We stayed out until it was bed time. Usually when the sun goes down the mosquitoes come out. I ended up putting a pair of jeans on to try and save myself from the tiny vampires. I hate mosquitoes :P I got a much better picture of Tristan's new beautiful chub! :) I love cuddling with my babies... but not when they're covered in sweat, chalk, jelly, yogurt, boogers, and whatever other nastiness managed to stick to 'em that day. That's why new babies are so great haha.
Oh,I just love that last picture,the 1st one of Noah is really great too :) Good job on nursing,aren't you proud that all his chub is thanks to you?!I always think that when I look at Ember.It's amazing that they can thrive just on breast milk :)
I hate mosquitoes too.:P We don't ever get any here.I always get eaten up when I go to my parents house though!I'm glad it cooled down just enough for you guys to be outside.Noah sounds so funny!I bet he & Dylan would just have a ball together being boys :D

I love the last picture to! That is so sweet! How did you get it taken?
That's funny about Noah. Haley gets to be a crank ball with no nap. I love when she takes naps. I'm going to be so depressed and sad when nap time will be over coming up shortly I'm sure. Does Noah still take a nap everyday normally?
katie - I've gotten to be a pro at taking pictures of myself over the past few years. I have the added bonus of being blessed with long monkey-like arms.
Noah takes a nap on days we don't have anything to do or really just if we can fit it in. He didn't take one yesterday or today, which just means he goes down at 8 instead of 9 or 10. He gets to be a loud crazy pain in the butt, but he's bearable :)
I love it too cute. Don't you just love when they run wild and haven't the slightest idea what they are doing. I love having a boy but it is non stop all day. He has to be busy just about every minute of the day. He is so easy to read too. Its like I know what the next dangerous idea he is going to try out!
We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl...
We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags...
Since we hardly ever see each other, when we finally do it's always some kind of celebration. This time we're celebrating our 4th anniversary so we're going to do a whole weekend. This is where we'll be spending our weekend alone :) It's the perfect place to get away from everyone and just be together. We don't even have to find someplace to cook! Even though the full kitchen looks more like a stove and a sink and no counter space. We'll make do. We're bringing a lot of games, some food, and ourselves. We might also bring along our fishing gear. We've already decided the TV is not going to be turned on (unless the Daily Show is on because we really miss Jon Stewart). Most likely we just won't turn it on. There are places to hike and the cabins are right next to the river. We've gotten so much rain lately it's probably pretty full. I'm very excited! I haven't been away from Noah for more than a day since he was born....
