My Friend, Noah

Why is it that two year olds are so dang entertaining? Noah is such a crack up. He keeps us laughing with every word out of his mouth. At the moment Noah loves Woody and Buzz, dancing, eating ice cream cones, bubble baths, putting on my headbands, holding his little sister, sticking his finger into his belly button, tummy time with Ashley, playing hide-n-seek, playing in the dirt (digging, throwing, eating etc.), singing the Barney clean up song, crossing his ankles, saying “Ina wake” when he gets up in the morning, going on walks, picking flowers (weeds) for his mommy and doing everything “by myself”. I can’t believe how old he is. He keeps us laughing. I love my Noah.

You've all heard of the Naked Cowboy right? You know, the one who plays his guitar on the busy streets of NY? Well move over Super-size, there is a small-fry ready to take your place.

These are a few of my favorite things

Even with all the diaper changes, my house still has a yummy cinnamon-apple scent!

Breakfast for dinner! John hates it but lucky for me he is gone two-thirds of the year during dinner time. But ya gotta have homemade syrup to make it a meal!
My new sit-n-stand stroller helps for sanity purposes. Luke walks along side but when he gets tired he and Noah can both squeeze their bums onto the seat so we can all venture out for a walk together.
Vicks Vapor Rub, but not for the reason you may think. I put it on my feet just before bed. Rub a good amount onto your heals and calluses and then put ankle socks over them. When you wake, you will have feet as smooth as a babys bum.
MVP deal. For $9.99 a month, you get free rentals, and I always have a reason to get out of the house. I like to take one kid with me, so we get some one on one time together. It is fun to get to go on a date with my little boys every now and again.

Ikea frog bibs, easy to clean and you don’t have to hang them to dry. Love them. Craigslist, John is always telling me to stop looking at other peoples junk, but I can’t help it. It.s like going garage sale hunting with out being up at 6:00 on Saturday morning.

I have tried all the new mascara brushes, but I always end up going back to my favorite Cover Girl Remarkable. I have used it since high school. It thickens without making tarantula eyes.

I tag all my cousins and sister-in-laws!

American Idol

This year we are watching American Idol again, along with half the country. And I have to say it's looking pretty good. John complains the whole time, yet he seems to watch every week. He even has Luke saying " I don't want to watch Ameorikan Idool". But he loves it. This is the first year we have watched the show without Ashley. I have to say I miss watching her cheer for her farvorite guy (Blake, Elliot, and "Poor Bucky"), and laughing at her when she would get just as nervous as the contestants would during the results show. Those were some fun times sitting and watching together at Mom's house. We miss you Ash and this season is for you.
