Too Cute!

We took this picture after Noah's bath this morning. I think I have the cutest little boy ever!

Noah's 1st Christmas

We spent Christmas in Mississippi this year. We had so much fun opening gifts with Noah on Christmas morning. He got lots of cool toys!

Snow in Mississippi

Noah and I made an unexpected trip to Mississippi last week. My grandfather passed away, which was a shock and sad but I have realized that it was just his time to go. In fact, he probably died at a good time. He didn't suffer, his mind was still intact, and he lived a good life. I got to see him a week before he passed away, and I am so grateful for that. I will miss him but I have found peace through my Savior and the plan of salvation.

While we were in MS, the craziest thing happened-- it snowed! And it actually stayed on the ground. Here are a few pics of Noah and his first experience with snow.

Two Years!

Yesterday Daniel and I celebrated our two year anniversary. It's crazy how fast time flies. So much has happened in the past two years. We moved to a new apartment twice, I conquered my biggest fear (childbirth), we had a beautiful little boy, I quit my job to be a stay-at-home mom, Daniel graduated with honors, Daniel conquered his biggest fear (opening his own practice), we got a minivan, Daniel sold his car, we accumulated a lot more stuff (mostly toys and baby stuff), we've made many new friends, and the list could go on. I think the best thing about these last two years is that Daniel and I have grown closer as we've had to experience new and challenging things. I think we're a great pair! I can't imagine spending eternity with anyone else. I love you sweetheart, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for us!

Halloween

We went over to our friends, Seth and Sara's, house for Halloween. We had a great dinner then ventured out in the rain to take the kids trick or treating. We felt kind of silly taking Noah since he doesn't get to eat the candy, but decided to do it anyway. Besides, Daniel and I love candy!

Here's our little skeleton.

Noah and his spoils!

Trunk or Treat

Can you guess who Daniel and Noah were for our ward trunk or treat?

Pumpkin Fun!

We carved a pumpkin for family home evening last night. It sure was messy but so worth it!

Here's Noah helping scoop out the pumpkin goop.

The finished product!

Berry Patch Farms

On Saturday we went to Berry Patch Farms in Woodstock, GA. It was freezing outside but we braved the cold weather and had a great time. Noah's Grandaddy and Granmommy joined us. We went on a hayride, played in a pumpkin patch, saw some animals on the farm, and played on a tractor. It was a lot of fun despite the cold!

First Haircut!

Noah had his first haircut last night. It was time; some of his hairs were about 3 or 4 inches long if you pulled them straight up.

Getting ready for the big event!

The towel and clothespin are secure so we're ready to cut!

He wasn't so sure about the clippers.

Ta da! Here's our new little man.

Green Beans -- Yuck!

Last week we fed Noah green beans for the first time. He didn't care for them. After I tasted them, I didn't care for them either. I'm all about giving him lots of vegetables, but these were pretty disgusting. Here are some pics of him with more beans on his face than in his mouth.
