My beautiful baby sister is married!

What an amazing day it was.  You've seen the drama my children and I created.  Now see the beauty and love shared by two amazing people...Kellie and Jaydan!




The Candy Bar--Kel's idea

Before the wedding






We gave him ice to keep him busy...

He gets his love of dancing (and his moves) from his Daddy

Father/Daughter Dance

After the reception...almost midnight...we were TI-RED.

....and so were they!

Looks like the cover of a magazine!

BEAUTIFUL!

 As you can see, the pictures are out of order.  Oops.  I'm too lazy to manually change them. 

It was a beautiful day for two amazing and wonderful people!  Congrats Kellie & Jaydan!

Need I say more?

Noah {18 months}

We officially have no more "babies" in the house.  :(  Noah is such a joy and has such a sweet, content, happy (and sometimes ornery) temperament.  Though he occasionally throws back-arching tantrums, he typically is a super-content little fella.

He was a man of few words for a long time, but in the last month or two he has turned into a little jabberbox!

Ornery little boy!

Here are all the words he loves to say:
Mommy
Daddy
Water (a-wa)
Bub (Caleb)
Out
Poop
Purple
Please (peas)
Night-night (nigh-na)
Bye-bye
More (moe)
Papa
Lola
Bush, bush, bush
Chris
Cracker
Pray (pay)
Quack-quack
Hot
Flower
Car
Mine!
Happy
Moo
Set, Go! (as in: ready, set...)
Love you (Ow-Oo)
Outside (Side!)
No!
Yes (which he normally says two times in a row with adorable inflection)
Car (Ca)
Choo-Choo



The list is growing by the day and he will basically repeat anything he hears, which is at times a little scary.

Noah is such a climber!  He loves to move his wooden chair over to the couch, climb on the chair, then the couch, and jump off.  He scares me on a daily basis but seems steadier than Caleb most of the time.

He also loves to tackle.  He will walk over to Caleb and push him over (if he's sitting down) and the jump on top of him.  Perhaps he'll be a wrestler...or football player!



The kid has no fear.  Seriously.  He jumped (not fell) off of the third step on the garage stairs and landed face-first on the concrete.  By the grace of God, he came away with a bruised forehead, a bruised nose, and a busted lip.  We are so thankful it wasn't more serious!

Yes, he is trying to jump into the pond!
Noah said his first prayer just last week.  He repeated the words I said and it was precious.  I wished we would have had it on video.



Sweet Noah, what a precious gift from God you are!  I am so thankful for the laughter you bring with your sweet way of saying words and how you love to follow your brother around, repeating everything he does.  I love the way you give kisses and tackle your brother.  I am completely in love with you, sweet boy.
