Look who's crawling!

As of about a week ago or so, she crawls all over the place.

Now she is starting to pull herself up to stand!

My husband, the drummer.

A couple weekends ago we attended a company picnic for Morgan's work. It was a blast. There were games, music, food, the whole shebang. Speaking of "BANG" Morgan got to play the drums!! I had never heard him play before. He is so amazing! I just loved seeing him perform. Here are a couple video clips of what he did.

The Games.
Noel sporting the *VIP COOK* hat that she borrowed from my dad who really was the VIP cook at the picnic.
I absolutely love this picture of Noel with my dad.
This one is great too.
My man on the drums.
My mom putting Noel to sleep.

Here are a few pictures as of late.



Noel fell asleep 2 days in a row like this while I was jogging on the treadmill next to her.

This last sunday my parents had us over for dinner and we celebrated my mom's birthday. In this picture my dad was trying to talk my mom into telling him what she was going to wish for for her birthday. It was cute! We love you mom!! Thanks for being born and for being who you are.

Fun at the Lake

To finish off the 3 day weekend, Monday we went boating and jet skiing with some friends. It was a blast. It was Noel's first time at the lake. After Morgan and I first tried taking her into the water, we thought she didn't like it. It wasn't as warm as the bath tub, that is for sure! Later on in the day my mom took her into the water while Morgan and I were out tubing and she found that if you eased her into the water, she was okay with it and she would splash around and kick her legs. We had a great time. I am still sore from hanging on to the tube and poor Morgan is burnt to a crisp!

I inched my way in...

...real slowly:)

Noel's diaper was huge by the end of the day!!! This picture doesn't even come close to showing how big it was!

Another Party

On Sunday evening we attended a get together at our good family friends home for a birthday party celebration for my nephew. This is the only picture that I took that semi-turned out from that night.

Here's Noel sporting her Hawaiin dress (from my mom's camera). She turned 8 months old that day!

Before the birthday cake they brought out the big guns, literally...actually it was a tennis ball launcher. Here are a couple video clips of Morgan trying to catch the ball.

A SURPRISE Party

Saturday July 3rd, we attended my mother-in-law's surprise birthday party. It turned out so well and there was a great turn out of all those who love her dearly. It was fun to see Mary so surprised. She wasn't expecting to do anything for her birthday but attend an "Eagle Court of Honor" where the party was and lo and behold she walked in and...


Here are a few pictures of the set up.




This is Mary with her brother Joseph.
Mary with Nanna and Pappa.
Mary with a very good friend of hers.
Mary with Morgan and his brother Brian. This last weekend was the last weekend we saw Brian before he moves to New York. We will miss you Brian! We wish you the best. Please come visit for Thanskgiving!


Here is a great shot that Morgan took of the fireworks show we saw that night.

Family Hike

Last Saturday the 26th of June, Morgan, Noel and I went on a hike up at Sly Park Lake. It was 6 miles roundtrip. We hiked to a manmade waterfall. The weather was perfect and the scenery was beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our time together. Noel sure does well on hikes. She seems to love the outdoors! Here are a few pictures from our trip.

Glow in the dark date night

After 8 days of not being together, Morgan and I went out on a much needed date. We splurged and went to our favorite place, Tahoe Joe's and then went glow in the dark miniature golfing at a place called Monster Mini Golf. Morgan won by 4 points!! We had lots of fun!
