Noah's 2nd Birthday Party

We had a great time at Noah's 2nd birthday party today!  The weather was GORGEOUS!  I was so afraid it was going to rain, but it didn't.  We went to Owen's Spring Creek Farm in Richardson and Noah loved feeding the animals, the hay ride and eating watermelon.  He also loved having family and friends there to celebrate with him.  It was such a special day. 

 

 The table of yummies.  We had cake, watermelon, strawberries, popcorn, paches and apples.  We also had special gluten free cookies:)

 The great cake made by Hands on Design!

 The drink table.  Mason jars with burlap tide around them and red and white straws. 

 Party favors with suckers, tattoos, duckies and blowers all in a farm theme.

 Fun hay ride!  We had great weather!

 All the kids:)

 Love my family!  Best parents and brother a girl could ask for. 

 Poor Ruger always having to move for Noah and his toys. 

Noah's 2nd Birthday

My sweet Noah turned two today.  I cannot believe it has already been two years since he entered our life.  He has brought more joy and learning experiences to my life in two years than I have probably ever experienced.  He talks my ear off all day long!  Some of his favorite sayings are...

• "Momma, I will be right back" (with his finger in the air)
• "Momma, be careful"
• "Momma, that is gross and yucky" - usually referring to something he found that he doesn't know what it is.
• I hear at least 10 times a day, "what dat noise?" and "what dat?" - very inquisitive little guy.
• "Momma, I no like that" and "Momma, I LOVE that"
• Every animal noise you can think of with hand motions (lion, cat, monkey and snake are his favorite at the moment)

The above are just the few I can remember tonight.  I love watching his brain work and listening to him get more and more vocal.  He went around the house singing "Happy Birthday" to himself all day.  We had a good day today.  He is a little stuffed up because he has bad allergies.  Unfortunately we found out through testing that he is allergic to cats:(  So, our sweet Izzie will be leaving us next week to go live with a sweet lady in Allen.  Hopefully that will help his allergies.  Luckily, he is a fabulous sleeper!  He usually goes to bed at 8 or 830 and wakes up at 830 or 9.  He takes a 2-3 hours nap in the afternoon.  He goes to MDO three times a week and loves Miss Dawn and Miss Marsha, his teachers.  His cousins Sophie and Cooper are in his class and he loves playing with them.  We had a great day at the Dallas World Aquarium (we have been telling him for months that we would take him to the Aquarium to see fish, sharks and alligators and he has been so excited for a long time).  We took him to McDonalds for lunch and he loved it of course:)  We met Gigi and Papa at Jason's Deli for dinner.  Jason's is his favorite "special" place to eat:) 

 Good Morning to Mr. Two Year Old!

 He saw his gifts on the table and was so excited!

 Noah is making a bird sound in this picture.  It was pretty funny. 

 He stood and watched the fish and turtles FOREVER with his hands in his pockets, of course. 

 We got to watch them feed the sharks.  It was so much fun!

Family Picture:)

He tried blowing out the candle, but was more excited about eating the cake:)

Easter 2012

Noah had a busy Easter this year...felt like we celebrated for weeks:)  Even though the true meaning of Easter is all about Jesus' death and ressurection...He is risen, He is risen indeed...we also enjoyed all the fun activities that came with Easter this year. 

 Noah and Gigi at our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt.

 He loves his Gigi.

 Noah was listening to our HOA president give us some updates with his hand on his hip. It was pretty funny.  As you can see there are eggs everywhere in front of him so I was impressed he stood there that long:)

 Noah and I went to the Spring Fling at FBCR.  It was a lot of fun...lots of people there:)

 Had fun riding the pony until the pony started acting a little crazy and then he jumped off.  Luckily I was there to catch him:)

 Easter Sunday.  Noah and dad all dressed and ready to go.  Love my boys.

 Noah on the search for his Easter basked at my parents house. 

Fun at the Arboretum

Noah had fun at the Arboretum with friends!  The weather was amazing and there was even a petting area for the toddlers. 

 As one lady there said "The Stroller Derby". 

Noah with the bunnies

Noah loved going to Northpark Mall and getting his pictures taken with the bunnies.  He was having a blast.  He also loved that the Disney store was right next to where we got the pictures taken:)
