21st Anniversary!

5/18/12 was our 21st wedding anniversary. Time flies when you are having fun! This was a lower key year for plans but we still had fun. Our family tradition is Family Day. We swap presents and make a party day out of it. Being it was a Friday Brent and I had to work all day, but had plans for dinner afterwards to meet Noah and the two grandmas. We ate at Red Lobster for a casual yummy dinner. Noah brought his card and homemade presents of mom and dad bookmarks as well as some colored artwork for our cube walls. After dinner we went back to the house for an ADORABLE mini cake that Mary had made at Byerly's (they do a great job) and gifts. Brent and I had already exchanged our gifts that we each helped pick out for ourselves (not romantic, but we get what we have wanted. :). Noah always comes out good in the deals too.

Anyway, a fun party night and new memories made!

May 12, 2012 a fun spring day!

we had a huge fun day of outdoor activity! Started the morning with a school event that was a fundraiser/book swap/group 1 mile walk-run. It was an annual event put on by the school. Grandma Rosie is a local volunteer that reads with the kindergartners every year so all at the school have sort of grown up with her. Noah got to see school friends and fave teachers.

Later in the day we stumbled across a great free event at the local Nature Center. What a perfect weather day for all the activity! It had a rock climbing wall, basketball tug of war, a bounce house, tandem bikes (yes Noah talked me into riding), then also had fitness challenges along the walking paths. You got a parks and rec water bottle for doing the challenges. Snacks and water were provided too. Noah got his pic taken by the reporter of the local paper. She asked permission to publish. He was on their website, their FB page and also got on front page of local paper. What fun memories!!!

4th grade spring pics

Growing up our schools didn't do 2 pics a year but now that seems to be the drill. Amazingly the kids do change between spring and fall! Got the disk, and are pleased with the latest. Noah decided to wear his glasses this time so definitely a different look from fall plus his ortho work has really changed his face shape I think. What a handsome kid! Love ya Noah!!
