Noah's Birthday Party!

We had lots of family come down yesterday for Noah's 1st Birthday Party! We had lots of fun and it was so nice to see everyone. The kids loved playing with everyone. Noah kind of had fun, he was in a bit of a bad mood because of his teeth coming in, but he still had fun playing. He was very excited when his (and his sister's) new toy got put together! They got a wonderful Swing Set Clubhouse Climber and Picnic Table for the back yard. We have never really had many outdoor toys and they are loving it! Noah received many other gifts (which his sister was happy to help him open). We had a great time! Thanks everyone who came down and sent gifts!

Happy Birthday Noah!

I can't believe my sweet boy is already one year old! My how time flies!! Noah has been such a wonderful blessing to our life. He is such a happy and fun baby. We are so glad we have him, he is such a joy. Happy 1st Birthday my bubbies! We are going to have a party for Noah on Saturday, here is the cute invite I made for him!

Sunday Walk!

We had a nice Sunday walk today. The weather was horrible when we left for Church this morning (35 degrees and icy), but 3 hours later when we walked out it had turned into a miraculously beautiful day! So, we took advantage of the reprieve from the dark and dreary ice world that has become North Texas and enjoyed a bit of outdoor time. Lyna rode her bike along, which she loves doing, and kept up fairly well and did a fabulous job of identifying every street sign we passed. Noah rode in the best stroller ever made (linked just in case you need one!) and was his happy little self until the very end when he decided he was done riding in the best stroller ever made and needed to ride on Mommy's hip for a bit. All in all, it was a lot of fun!

And He's Off....

Look where I found Noah today...

Okay, just kidding, but I went looking for Noah today and here is where I found him! He somehow climbed up on to the toilet so he could play with the baby wipes...what a monkey!

Noah + Yellow Crayon =

Luckily they are non-toxic!

Love these diapers...

As most of you know, we use cloth diapers at home, but I have found it difficult to use cloth when we are traveling (like now, we are staying at my mother's house for Thanksgiving). So, I decided to try G Diapers . These diapers are kind of in between cloth and disposable and the disposable part of the diaper is biodegradable (and flushable!), which is awesome! And I can use the G Diaper covers with my regular cloth diapers, another plus! We tried them on Noah last night and the fit is great...they also velco in the back so little hands can't undo their dipes! So, I will be using these while traveling and when we are out and about. I am so excited to have found them! Here are some pictures of Noah in his new dipes!!!

Just some photos...

of Noah I took today. Gotta love those baby blues!

More Crafting...

Is anyone getting tired of my crafting posts yet??? Well, I made some more stuff. Here is my latest...

Bad day for Noah...

Well, Noah had quite a battle with out concrete front porch stairs today. He was going up and down them having a grand old time and then lost his balance on the top step and took a rolling spill! It was very sad, but he seems to be fine now. His head is a little beat up...
and so the toddler years begin...

Our Playroom!

So, we redid the kids' playroom when we moved into the new house in May and I didn't ever get around to posting pictures of it. So, I figured I would do it now. This was a big project and we were really excited with how it turned out.
