Wonderful Weather

Noah enjoys playing with a monkey...

He will sit facing it, make it sit, slide, go for walks, and give it a diaper change.
Note: he also knows how to make triangles out of colored pencils...

My first bloom of the season at our new place.

Noah goes for rides on daddy...

Our neighbors spoiled Noah and bought him some presents... The slide being one.

Then he started being a boy and being naughty....

Who needs a sibling to teach you bad things... When you can teach yourself ... He also tries to climb up the slide.... Sigh

Garden!

OK... So not much of this post has to do with the garden, but I am very excited at the work Dan has done with it. Noah helped some too!

Here he is playing with a toy he got for Easter from Grandma Kaisand

Ducks at a store... Dan's comment "who needs to go to a zoo"

Easter Sunday

Church breakfast, followed by the service.

Lunch at Grandma Kaisand....

Then... bubbles, horses, kitties, outside fun, candy hunt, and a very long nap.

Palm Sunday

During the first two songs, they asked the kids to come up and wave branches. These were when he wasn't sitting by me and another girl his age in the front row.... Although that was cute too as they were playing swords with each other and we had to make sure they didn't take each others eyes out :)

Started trying to play swords up front..

Noah started "dusting" the table.

Bye bye Christmas money... Thanks to both sets of my grandparents.... It will work great for us!

Silly Boy

Noah got to spend time with Grandma Char and Grandpa Craig.... then we had a fun Sunday!

We walked to the park....

Pretending to use the potty.... No- we are not potty training yet.

Daddy and Noah!

Noah loves brushing his hair and his teeth at the same time!

Daddy, you need your hair brushed too!

whirlwind week

I don't typically post work photos, but I can't resist....

Some of our Senior 4-H members put in a lock-in for 4-6th graders. We had a bunch of youth and Senior 4-H in blue, and 4 adults (including myself). The lock in went from 8pm to 7am.... We had at least 20 youth and the adults stay up the whole time.

We all enjoyed the nice weather with walks, playing outside, and going to parks.

Noah went to Aubrey and Avery's birthday party.

I had annual conference for work where we had the Iowa nice guy (name from YouTube) and Joseph Michelli (author) as our motivational speakers.

 Sorry.... These aren't in order... More photos from lock in.

 After no sleep at the lock in, I went to a Wisconsin simmental sale... Meet Noah's cows!

Growing Up

Noah helped Daddy set up bunk beds...

He was putting the dowels in for Daddy

He was handing Daddy the parts.

Noah enjoyed his new train sheets and blankets... even though he still sleeps in his crib...

Noah and Daddy working on colors and letters 

Daddy trying to teach Noah how to put a puzzle together by finding the edges....

 Noah playing with cars while we played Monopoly :)

Noah was trying to "hide".

And just because I wanted to....
