I’m back!

I have been in a MAJOR blog funk lately! I love reading blogs every day, but for some reason I just got burnt out on actually writing on my own. But I know I will miss reading about our family in years to come, so onward we go! :)

We have had a lot going on since I last posted so in an attempt to catch up, I’m going to post iPhone pictures!

Of course, we have been geocaching!

Noah had a parade at school for the 4th of July and he got to ride his Thomas. He was SO excited!

My fabulous friend (and neighbor!) has been keeping Noah for me when he’s out of school. Noah LOVES Natalie! I’m sure the ice cream dates have something to do with it!

Brad went on his yearly Honduras mission trip (the second time this year) in July. Noah and I had to rough it out and eat McDonald’s by ourselves!

Noah discovered an affinity for sour gummy worms. He gets this from his Tay Tay.

Sunday afternoon naps with my peanut. Which reminds me, Noah has started to call me “Mommy-Lou” now. Where he came up with this, I do not know. But it’s super cute. And kinda weird.

We have been looking for a new house. Our current house is a great starter home, but we are ready for our forever home. And when I say forever, I mean the house we can raise our kids in and stay there until they are grown! In this picture, we were looking at a house and Noah was roaming the back yard. He suddenly turned around to me and said, “Mommy! Take my picture of me at my new house!” So I did! (This is not where we are moving…just in case you were wondering!)

I have been wanting to try some healthy new recipes and I found a recipe on Pinterest for a lighter version of PFChang’s chicken lettuce wraps. These were pretty tasty!

Bella. My super spoiled first born.

I took Noah to the Children’s Hands-On Museum. He had so much fun! His favorite part was this ‘hospital room’. He loved playing with the ‘hospital food’.

A few weekends ago, Brad and I travelled over to Atlanta to visit our best friends and we took Noah to the aquarium. He had fun but he wasn’t as interested in the fish as I thought he would be. He was just happy to run around the building. He did love watching the otters and the dolphin show. We bought him a stuffed otter and dolphin from the gift shop and he is still sleeping with them!

While we were in Atlanta, we ate at The Varsity. We had never been before. It was packed out (I’m told it always is!), but we still enjoyed it! That’s my friend, Jenn!

On our way home from Atlanta, Noah got a strawberry shake from DQ. He thought he was so big getting to have a shake all by himself! He did SO GOOD on the car rides to and from Atlanta!

This past weekend, my sister went to the beach so we happily agreed to feed her animals…including the chickens! Noah said, “I need my BOOTS!”

Alrighty. I think that about catches us up! Hopefully I’ll quit being such a slacker and I won’t get so behind again! If you made it through that whole post, gold star for you!
