what have i gotten myself into now?

look closely.. yes, that's a new bag of yogurt melts that noah managed to get from his diaper bag up on the changing table, open it, run excitely down the hall shaking it, and then exploded everywhere. he thought it was funny and kept walking on them and seeing how many he could get stuck on his foot . . . .  

 

suki trying to assist him

and yes, he would eat them after he took them off his feet.. noah! at least he had just gotten a bath!

our little maverick!

we have been huge MAVS fans for a very long time so we were pyched when they made the playoffs.. and then WON the finals!!

noah is obsessed with basketball.. when it isn't on he asks for ball.. when it is on he can sit and watch with his daddy for a long time. he's going to be sad it's over until october!

good thing is first jersey is a dirk jersey! daddy was so proud when i found it for him. i got him a size 6 so he will get many, many years of good use. and it won't be too long and we will be taking him to his first game!

noah's first date..

noah had his first date with ms. stella this afternoon.. we all headed to the pool with their mini cooler full of milk and juice and they scarfed down chickfila while they floated along. noah was obsessed with the beach ball and got so excited and tried to chase it around. then he showed off and showed stella his killer swim moves he learns in his swim class.

such a boy

gran came and picked up noah and brought him back home for the day.. but before he did, he took him to his house and he loved exploring in there big backyard with lots of cool stuff (unlike our tree-less, plant-less boring backyard). he found a stick and was so happy and marched around with it and tried to dig up dirt.. think this was the first time he saw dirt.. gran said he kept brushing his little hands off. i have a feeling pretty soon, he will be one muddy, sandy, messy, dirty little boy =o)

splash pad fun

saturday afternoon we all went to one of our favs.. cowboy chow. noah eats so much when we go there.. which makes us very happy as he still is a very finicking eater :/ after we all pigged out, we headed up to the splash pad.. noah liked it but it was right before naptime so we had to cut it short.. last time he went was here. amazing to see how much he has changed since august!

can't wait to have lots of summer pool/splash pad/waterpark fun!

memorial day fun

we wanted to have a low key, relazing memorial day.. we were lucky to have a four day weekend and it was awesome! on monday, we went to have bbq (so someone would do it for us!) and then had some fun outside.

noah's favorite was the waterhose! he couldn't get enough.. and we will have to buy him some sprinkles for the summer.. it's gunna be a hot summer.. already almost hit 100!

a wonderful cat

we got seymour the weekend we got back from our honeymoon in early december 2002. for the first few months, seymour and i didn't seem to get along.. the cat hated me and would run and hide and arch his back when he saw me.. he loved jim on the other hand.. for months the cat would seriously not sleep.. he would sit on the end table at night, paws dangling, and would stare at jim. all.night.long. i told jim for the longest time about his weird nightly habit..and how it creeped me out but he never believed me, that is until months later. we always laugh about that. slowly we began to bond, but seymour was always jim's cat. seymour loved noah beginning on december 31,2009, the day noah came home. seymour lived a good life, but in march, he got diagnosed with diabetes and ended up getting really sick and passed away on april 27th and now is in kitty heaven.

seymour was always there by noah's side... when noah was a newborn, crying all night.. to rolling on him.. to playing peekaboo.. to crawling, pulling his tail, to walking on his tail.. and finally to giving him a hug.

we miss you so much seymour.. we have so many good memories of you. you were an awesome cat.. and i miss you as i type this, because you were always by my side, late at night.. while i blogged.

and a long, long, time ago..
