Joy to the World -- Noah Style

Remember our sweet little statue at last years Christmas program?



Well, wait until you see Noah this year!
I'm still laughing...


Leave it to our son to grab his
crotch during Joy to the World. Haha!

And I just love the "Noah!" "Noah!" in
the background trying to keep him focused.

So funny!

We loved every minute of it!

Outtakes

Today we took our family Christmas pictures. We originally planned to hire someone to take them for us, but then Josh came up with this crazy idea that I take them instead. Of course, today of all days it had to be super humid outside. And getting Einstein and Noah to cooperate proved to be quite the challenge. I think between the two of them I took over a hundred pictures. But, I gotta say, I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out. Here are some of my favorite outtakes of Noah from today's photoshoot. He was full of all kinds of fun expressions!

Fun in Oklahoma!

September {yep, still playing catch up!} was a hard but fun month for us. It was hard because Josh was out of the country on a mission trip for two weeks. Yep, two loooong weeks. It is tough on me when my man is gone. I'm pretty sure I'm never letting him leave me for that long again! Ha. But as hard as it was, it was also good because Noah and I got to spend some time with Mimi and Granddad while he was away. So, so thankful for my parents help! I couldn't have done it without them.

While we were in Oklahoma, my Mom and I decided to take Noah to the Zoo for the afternoon. I was hoping we would be able to see my Nana while we were visiting, so we asked her to come along with us. So glad she was able to join us. We had lots of fun!

We got to ride a train to tour the Zoo!
Noah loved it! Really, we all did.
It was nice to get off our feet for a bit.

Photobucket

There was even a petting zoo!
As you can see from Noah's expression,
he wasn't too sure about the goats
eating from his hand.

Photobucket

And you all know I go crazy over baby monkeeeeeys!
So, so cute!

Noah loved climbing all the different
statues around the Zoo.

And he loooved the big slide! I think he would
have slid all day long if we would have let him.

My parents recently bought a lake house near Tulsa, so we thought it would be fun to go see it and spend a couple days out there. We had the best time! We took the dogs on walks around the beautiful neighborhood, ate yummy food, watched college football and the movie Despicable Me, laid out on the hammock, and even got to go out on the lake for a bit. It was just wonderful being with my parents and spending time together. Glad Uncle Matt was able to come too!

On our way!

♥ the lake house! Can't wait to go back!

Lila is quite the little princess in my parents' house.
She has my Dad wrapped around her little paw.

The Pumpkin Patch

Catch up time again! Just wanted to share a few of my favorite Pumpkin Patch pictures before we get too far into the Christmas season. November just flew by way too fast, didn't it? This year we went to the Pumpkin Patch in Flower Mound. It's a little bit of a drive for us, but we don't mind. It's the best Pumpkin Patch around-- we love it. We weren't able to make it out there last year, so I'm so glad it worked out were we could go this year. I had hopes of getting a bunch of fun pictures, but Noah kind of had a little 'tude that afternoon, so it didn't go as planned. But that's okay, we still had fun and managed to get a few smiles out of him. :)

Three words: white chocolate mocha!
Yummy! The first of many this season I'm sure.

Noah and I caught Einstein snoozing on
one of Noah's boots the other afternoon.
Funny pug.

Noah's cute thanksgiving place mat he made at
MDO. I love the things he said he was thankful for. :)



Hehe. I just love this video.
Such a little cutie!

Photobucket

Rented out this beauty for the weekend. Enjoyed using
it, but was disappointed in its ability to take pictures in low
light. It does take some pretty pictures outside though.

Ever since Noah baked cookies with Josh one
evening, he has become obsessed with eggs. I've
caught him several times helping himself to an egg
while I'm not looking. I'm thinking those eggs are
gonna need to find a different spot in the fridge. :)

Tired mommy.

Our fifth task for the Happy Day Project was
to "refresh someone." So we took a package
of bottled water to our local fire fighters.
One of the nice firemen let Noah get on the
"big ol' firetruck" and boy did he love it.

Photobucket

Noah got a new haircut! And guess what?!
He didn't cry the entire time. Yayyyyy!
So proud of him!

Photobucket

Looking so grown up!
