Wipe Out!

Noah got a new, bigger bike for his birthday. He spent the morning trying to get the hang of the bigger bike. He got a little too confident on our rocky, hilly driveway and...WIPED OUT!

Bugtastic

Yesterday, we celebrated Noah's up and coming 5th birthday by having a bug party.  I was up until 3 AM the night before prepping for the party.  Although I felt exhausted, all the time and energy was worth it to see how happy Noah was.  I kept hearing him say, "Zoe look at what Mommy made"  and "Wow, look at that!"  All the details were definitely noticed by my little man.  Thanks to all the friends who made the trek up the hill to spend the day celebrating our (almost) 5 year old!!!!
