Southern Style Eatin'!

So once or twice a year we get together at aunt flo's and uncle garry's for a good old crab boil! no one ever believes how much food they fix, so this time i took pictures! tons of crab legs and shrimp, almost thirty steaks, and i didn't count the potatoes or other food we had! oh man, talk about good! we pack the house with people and just dig in... we love the eatin' and we love the family time! can't wait til the next one!

Easter 2007

I just realized I never put his first Easter pics on here! So here are a bunch. We started the weekend by taking him shoe shopping for his first pair of shoes! When we put them on and stood him up he started dancing! Then we dyed eggs, but couldn't go to the real egg hunt (because it was snowing in michigan!!) so we had a plastic egg hunt in the living room. Grandma Wilma helped him hunt eggs and put them into his adorable bunny basket. Then he opened gifts from her (clothes and such) and spent a while playing with Colin. The night ended with him spending 30 minutes trying to figure out how to get the grass off of his hands! He looked so handsome going to church in his suit and new shoes!

In the Garden

These are some pics from the sunken gardens in nashville. I love some of these! but the sun was shining really brightly so we don't have a lot of smiley faces, but i love seeing him explore! he had fun!

Nashville ~ Part One

So we spent the week in Nashville and had a wonderful time! I got to see my best friend since kindergarten, Faith, and her family! We haven't seen them in almost seven years, and had never met the kids (but have tons of pics!!). Faith and I faithfully write snail mail still, sharing our lives and pictures! It was so neat to spend time with them and for me to spend time with her. Her youngest, Corbin, is almost two and absolutely hilarious! He has such a contagious giggle and Noah just loved him. Corbin loved to get his picture taken and every time I had the camera out he would say 'cheese' and just grin! So there are many of him on here (and on my camera phone which he loved too!). Teagan is a sweet little angel and Weston is already quite the gentleman at six! Lots more to come soon!

Lots O' Pics!

I have taken over 200 pictures in the last week alone!! no, i won't put them all on here, but i have so many that i want to show off! We had a super spring break and went to Michigan for a few days, then Nashville, Tennessee for the week, stopping by Cinci on the way home to visit cousin corbin. i'm sure it will take me a few days to put everything on here that i want so i'll just post one of my favorite pics of noah we took at the sunken gardens in nashville.

A new cousin!

This is Alexander Michael Lynn! He is my new 2nd cousin and Noah's new 3rd cousin! We're praying he gets out of the hospital soon because we can't wait to play with him! He's now off all the oxygen and tubes and only on the monitors! I need some new pictures of him! (hint hint grandma flo!) They're calling him Xander for short! I love it!

Fun time pics

Just some fun pics of little guy from the past few weeks. He now eats mostly table food and loves to feed himself. He still only has 2 teeth, but he can eat anything! He's very good at going backwards (and quite quickly!), but he's just now starting to get the forward thing. He loves to pull up and stand and play and cruise on whatever he can. Miss Kristi gave him the little piano and he loves it! He plays and plays on it, and sings! I crack up! And thank you to little Cayden for the exersaucer. He's almost too big for it, but loves to play with it! (Cayden is the little girl that's loving on him in a past post!)

swim video

this is a very loud video in case you have your sound on! the pool was packed and noah was fascinated by everyone screaming and splashing around him and it was hard to get him to focus on the camera! it took him about half hour to get used to the pool then he loved it!

Catching up!

well, after a few days of trying to figure what was wrong with my posting, i think i have it fixed! i know i've gotten really behind on pics so there are a ton under this, including his 8 months, park pics, and swimming at deer creek. i took bryan there for the weekend for his birthday since he's been working and gone so much. the three of us had a super time! look how skinny bryan is now! (he's lost 63 pounds since october!!). we had a wonderful time just relaxing and being together. hopefully i'll get back into posting more often. sorry mom!

A Busy Weekend

We had a very busy weekend! on friday, noah and i went to michigan for my high school homecoming! since he is really into kitties right now, he fell in love with the cougar mascot! i thought he might get scared but he giggled and loved petting it! then we came home saturday night, and went to cinci after church on sunday to see corbin! noah just grinned at him and kept wanting to pet him like he does our animals! it was cute! and corbin is an adorable doll baby! uncle bryan wouldn't let him go!

i also put some other ham pictures of him...he just loves the camera! and i know it looks like all he eats is junk (white castle, girl scout cookies) but he really only gets a bite long enough for some pictures! he's actually a big veggie boy!

attack of the froggies!

Aunt Amy and Uncle Bryan

we have a nephew! (and noah has a cousin!)

corbin michael was born today, feb. 16, at 12:25pm, weighing 7lbs 2oz and 21 inches!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! We enjoyed today with school being cancelled and my work so the three of us had a super day together! We had reservations for White Castle tonight (yes white castle!) and had a blast!

if you hold the mouse over the picture it will give you some fun titles! noah loved his first slyder!

first tooth

HE GOT HIS FIRST TOOTH! it popped through today, with a second one close behind!

we found a toy that he cracks up at...

thank you grandma wilma

something for grandma wilma. he keeps looking for you when he wakes up from his nap!
i thought you would like this.

7 months

pictures for 7 months! he's finally starting to feel better and getting a little more back to normal! enjoy!

well, today was a nuts crazy day... but in short, my little one has bronchitis and sounds awful! i had to take him to the doc and he is now on a breathing machine 4 times a day! and dakota hurt his leg today and had to go to the vet. so i'm posting a picture of my sweet pitiful babies...

we finally got the desktop running more right so i can post pictures and use internet on the same computer! whew! it makes it so much faster. little man is growing fast (and finally getting some hair!)! he now sits very well on his own and can hold his own bottle and sippy cup. he's crazy curious about everything and loves to play! he army crawls and scoots all different ways. he can get on all fours for about 2 seconds but can't figure out how to move and gets frustrated! it won't be long! still no teeth but mommy's not complaining since he's not on formula yet! =) he's such a sweet darling baby!

Noah's First Christmas!

This is one of a few absolutely adorable pics that we had done today for his 6 months! i will put some more on here but this one is special because sears chose it to use as a display picture for advertising! isn't that so cool!

first game

i know it's been a month, but here are the pics from noah's first osu vs. michigan game! notice he's dressed half and half...and was equally influenced by both mom and dad during the game. poor thing, he'll probably turn out to be a penn state fan!

osu michigan game

first bites!

whew

well, in the last week or so i turned 29, we celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary, and noah turned 5 months. and today i finally got my computer desk 90% organized and the computers all situated so i was able to put more pics on here! i've got a bunch lined up! i hope you enjoy them!

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!

we spent yesterday in amish country... i love it there! we decorated a cookie for noah, took him on his first train ride, roasted hot dogs, sampled a ton of cheese at the amish cheese factory and just enjoyed the beautiful scenery!

bryan had to work all day today, but noah and i are meeting him at 915 for dinner at the Japanese Steak House... sushi, steak, and fun... yum!

i have lots of pics of the little one to get on here...he's getting so big!
