Livin the Good Life

Who says you can't enjoy two of life's fine things...eating a fudge pop and taking a bath, and do them at the same time. Notice the brown water...Noah is living the good life. And yes he did learn this from me. :)

My Little Man

Thanksgiving always brings out the gratefulness in me. So I thought I would just mention one of the many reasons that I am so thankful for Noah. Noah has been waking up especially early in the mornings for the past few weeks. I have tried a later bedtime but it seems even if he goes to bed late, he wakes up close to the same time every morning. So I have decided to get over it and come to terms with the fact that my child doesn't require much sleep. Every morning he greets me at my bed with all three of his blakets, his flashlight and one of his guns (yes he sleeps with all of those) and says "hi mommy im awake." Since it is still dark outside, I usually tell him it is still night time and he needs to go back to sleep. So he climbs in bed with me and snuggles for a bit. This morning I decided even though it is early, I love this time with him. For one it is about the only time during the day that he holds still long enough to cuddle and the second reason is that he is super sweet that early in the morning. This morning I woke up to him giving me butterfly (eye) and eskimo (nose) kisses. Love it! He is truly the best gift I have ever been given. I love being his mom, even on days when he acts like a wild animal, I love him more than words can express. I am so glad that I am his mom and he is my little man.

Thanksgiving at the Cabin

We had such a fun Thanksgiving at the cabin with the whole family! Natalie and Matt announced that they are pregnant with their fourth and are due in June...about a week after Sarah and Nate have their first baby. We are excited for both of them!!

How do you get three little boys to hold still for a picture? Put grandpa's shotgun in their hands! From the left...Noah and his cousins, Isaac and Luke. Noah had so much fun with his cousins. He woke up every morning and asked me..."where are my buddies, Isaac and Luke." So cute. We wish they lived in Las Vegas!!

The whole Ringer clan! This is everyone! It was so fun to all be together this year.

This is Noah reading "I SPY" with my brother Jordan...notice the one earphone in his ear. He likes to listen to Jords IPod with him. I should also say that Noah found Waldo before Jordan one time! Smart kid, I know!
