Noah's Pics

Noah likes taking pics. But I am noticing he likes taking pics of Trevor more than anything else. :) He actually took the pic of Andrew in the post below. Maybe he needs his own camera.

Labor Day

We hung out at Mom's yest for Labor Day. Lots of good food. And plenty of family time. Andrew and I did a good job of fighting over Tyler. It had been 3weeks since I had since Tyler and I deserved xtra time. (So I thought) We started hashing out the holiday schedule. I appreciate that my family is willing to be so flexible to make sure that everyone is present for holiday celebrating. I know some of the girls at work don't have families that are as flexible. Even though I had a slight melt down, Sorry Andrew and Mom (who took the brunt of it), I think we have it all figured out.

Okay, I know some people like the slide shows but the girls at work can't see the slide show b/c they are blocked on the hospital computers. So, I posted some pics regularly instead of a slide show ( which would have been easier) so that they could see them. I am just trying to be fair. So sorry to Trevor and those who don't like to scroll down. And Jenn just ignore all of this since you DON'T read the caption anyway!

Ball in Motion

Eli was taking pics of the tennis ball. I was impressed that he actually got it in the air.

Rocks!

Lucas found some rocks by the tennis courts. He told Eli to take a pic so I could post it on the blog. Why? I don't know. I blame my Dad. He takes random pics of random things. So this is for you Dad. Noah told me today that he really misses you. Come home soon!

Skate Park/Tennis

The boys and I went to the park on Sat. It had a skate park and tennis courts. I took the pics of Noah/Lucas on the skate park. But Eli took the tennis pics. I was mortified of the pics of myself so I will spare you the horror. It was hot but fun. We are trying to do active things instead of tv or video games. You can't tell in the pics, but any of you that know my boys- they were dripping w/sweat by the end of the hour at the park.

The new car!

First Day of School!

In the slide show, if Lucas is in a green shirt, then it was the first day of school for Noah and Eli. The pics w/Lucas in the brown shirt are his first day of school yest. It was harder than I thought to leave him. I stayed to help w/his first project. It will be nice to be able to help in the classess more this year. And Lucas said the funniest thing yest when he was finished w/his first day of school.


Lucas" Guess what mom, I DID NOT get detention on my first day!"

What???? :)

Ist day of School

Funny Stuff

Okay, I have a few more funny things that the boys have said this last week.

Regarding the Olympics:

Noah "My friend Caleb says Michael Phelps doesn't like to win gold medals. He likes to win the silver."



Noah "If I was in the Olympics. I would have a hard time finding you in the crowd."

Me "If you were in the Olympics, I would make sure you could hear me cheering for you."

Noah "I would be able to hear Uncle Andrew!"



Lucas was sitting in my friends stroller and said "I need my beauty sleep!" And pulled the canopy over to cover his face.



Regarding my NEW car (pics to come after I pick it up):
Lucas "Is it one of those not so cool cars but is kinda cool on the inside?"

Last Night of Summer

Okay, last night was the last night of summer vacation. So, Jenn and I took the kids to SaddleRanch for dinner. you should have seen the look on the hostess face when I said 2 adults and 5 kids. She was THRILLED! After the long debate of which waiter to unload us on, we were seated while we were waiting for Jenn and the boys to show up. I mean, if you are going to have kids eat FREE ALL DAY Mon-Thurs what do you expect. The boys enjoyed hanging out. Jenn and I sat on the far side of the booth realizing that we were not important. Top pic: all the boys in the HUGE booth, 2nd pic: Lucas liked going under the table- so I took a pic of him, 3rd pic Noah and Jordan getting eaten, 4th pic- explains itself.

Camp

Okay, the boys went to camp in July the 13th thru the 17th to be exact. And I know that was FOREVER ago. But, given I am a busy women w/other things to do besides remembering to develop film. I FINALLY got their pics developed. So enjoy! Eli obviously likes taking pics of himself :) And I am humbled when I see what others do w/there blogs, so I thought I would try my hand out at the slide shows. It was EASY! And now you don't have to scroll to eternity. And no captions needed since SOME people don't read them. Not to name names JENNIFER. Anyhow. I am off to the pool. I am feeling jaundice and need some time in the sun like Tyler.

Noah's Pics from Camp

Baby Tyler

The top pic is the oldest and youngest grandboy. I am holding Tyler in the bottom pic. Now all is right in the universe since I got to hold my nephew!!!! :)

Noah taking pics of Trevor

Noah took some pics of Trevor. Trevor is too used to a camera being in his face. Right Julie??

Go dog, go!

The boys discovered that my brother'd dog likes the slide. We are watching the dog while they are spending a few days at Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun. I have no idea how to spell the dogs name, but the video speaks for itself.

WWWHHEEEEE!

We are ready for home.

We are ready to go. Everyone is tired of walking and hungry! Hope they sleep GOOD tonight!

ThunderHawk

I know the bottom one is blurry. But we are upside down suspended in the air and then starting to flip and do circles. Andrew is below taking the picks. Great ride. They were able to get us to rotate nearly 6 times. The boys were hoping for 7.

The Eli Train

My Dad found a car that had Lucas on the side. I found the Eli train. Will someone find the Noah boat, or airplane?

DragonFly

Camp Snoopy

Surprisingly, All the boys joined in the fun! You can't be taller than 54inches to ride the rides at Camp Snoopy. And Lucas and Scott fit that bill w/ Jordan just being a hair above. Noah/Eli were allowed to accompany the other boys since they were too tall!

Camp Snoopy

This was more Jen's style. This is the camp snoopy version of the Detonator. WWWHHHEEEEEE!

Eli said.

Okay here is a something from Eli.

I called Jennifer a big, fat chicken (since she won't ride on any rollercoasters. Come on we are at Worlds of Fun) And Eli says, "She is just a chicken, cause she's not fat!" And that made Jen's day!

Cheese!

I want to point out, Jordan is giving himself bunny ears!

Best Standing in Line faces!

Don't we look happy to be at Worlds of Fun! And this was like the 2nd ride of the day! Excited and Thrilled!

Noah Said

I decided to write some of the funny things the boys are saying on the blog. 1 because they are funny and 2 to help me remember when I am old. B/c I will have this blog in 50 yrs. Ha!


Okay here goes.

Our neighbors are moving b/c of the husband's job. Our neighbors son said it was all his Dad's fault since his dad was not having any fun at his current job- he wanted to change jobs. And Noah said "Doesn't he know he is NOT supposed to be having fun at Work!!"

Before and After

This little monkey is still at my house. Now he is a sad little monkey! He is like almost a month old!

Newest Member of the Fam!

This is my newest nephew Tyler Joseph Davids. He was born 4 weeks early on Monday weighing a whopping 6lbs 4oz (hope thats right :). Anyway, as you can see is doing his tanning session since he is jaundice. Which I will point out, I told his nurse on Tues morning that he should be tested. But his doctor thought he didn't look jaundice and waited until the day he was going home to test him. And shockingly, he was jaundiced and couldn't go home (DUH! Why don't people listen to me). He was a little glow worm for a day and then went home yesterday. Yeah! Mommy and Tyler are doing GREAT!
