Thanksgiving WISH

Before we even arrived in Ohio, Noah said the only thing he wished for was for it to snow while we are at Grandma's house....every night in his prayers, he would ask for snow..... This morning when we awoke, there were the tinyest snowflakes blowing around in the sky...this child was E.X.C.I.T.E.D!!! He threw on his slippers & jacket and had to catch a snowflake on his tongue....

His wish was granted!

Thanksgiving Day

We have a lot to be thankful for, I could make this a very serious post and list the blessings we have in our lives, but I will keep that for another time. We were in Ohio this year for Thanksigiving, spending time with Scott's family. We always have a fun time while we are there visiting. I lived in Ohio for 11 years so we have friends that still live there (and friends that come and visit when we come visit!)...There's never enough time to spend a lot of quality time with our friends, but I feel it's important to at least see them once while we are there.

These were the only pictures we got of our Thanksgiving Dinner at Aunt Deanna's house (Deanna is Judi's sister)...Noah was being silly...

This is Judi and her sister Deanna.

Friendship Feast

Today was Noah's Friendship Feast at school. They had a great time. They made turkey hats, pasta necklaces and then had a really fun feast. Each child contributed a healthy item for their snack. They loved sitting at their "table". They also ate on the placemats they had made. It was a fun time. They were asked what they were thankful for and it was printed on their placemat...Noah said, "I'm thankful for Madison Ryan and that she plays with me on school days"

I'm thankful for a great Kindergarten Teacher for Noah!

Halloween

For some reason these pictures ALL posted backwards in order....oh well

Posing with the Jack-0-lantern that Noah & his Dad made this afternoon

Noah & Abby (Madison's younger sister)...they were both hesitant about going up to this door...

Too Cute!!

A Spooktacular Night

Tonight was a busy night. We had the Fall Festival at Noah's school AND our Ward Halloween Party at church

Here is Officer Noah! Isn't he handsome?
At the last minute I decided I wanted to join in the fun & dress up. This is my go to costume! It's easy & fun.

The fall festival had games, food, cake walk, jumpers....everything a kid loves!

I think he went down this thing about 4 times in a row!

This night was a lot of fun....we did not bring our camera to the ward party...but fun was had by all. They had dinner, dancing & trunk or treat.

One down....how many more??

Exciting news around here!! Look what happened?

Noah was so excited about losing his first tooth. Luckily this was a good experience! It pretty much just fell out on it's own. We knew it was coming because it was pretty loose & he kept playing with it with his tongue. I didn't want it to be painful & a lot of blood because then the whole experience would have been terrifying for when the next one would be ready to come out.
He was so excited to use his new tooth pillow bag that he made himself! The tooth fairy was so nice to him, she left him a "little" note (literally it was little, thanks to the advice from a friend) and it was sprinkled with fairy dust & she left 2 dollars! WOW! She said it was because it was his very first tooth to loose!

Isn't he just too cute?? But it makes me a little sad, he's growing up!!

Sewing Lessons

Grandma Judi was staying with Noah & Scott while I was in Hawaii...she was taking care of her boys!

Grandma Judi was BUSY while I was away....S.E.W.I.N.G!! She sewed 3 wall hangings (that are quite large) and 3 sets of curtains. Noah was so intrigued & was watching her closely. He decided he wanted to sew! So Grandma taught Noah had to sew. He patiently watched, listened & sewed!

He made 2 "tooth pillows", one for him and one for his buddy Madison. He also made a 6 armed man (that I have never seen). Then he made a bobbin holder for my bobbins! Cute boy!
