Double Digits

Noah has officially left the teenage years behind! I still can't believe it, but this once 7 lb. 7 oz. 20" little guy is now a 5'9" 20-year old! We were super glad to have Noah home from college for the weekend so we could celebrate his birthday with him. We just wish he could have stayed longer. We love you Noah!

Alora is Double Digits!

Alora's 8th Birthday Party

 

Today was Alora's 8th birthday party.  She decided she wanted to do an Art-themed party since she loves everything art.  She had nine of her friends join her to paint canvases, play some art-themed games and then eat brownie sundaes of their own creation.  Overall, it turned out pretty well and the girls all seemed to have a really good time.

    3.  He also told his teacher when he was a dad (meaning when he became an adult) he would live with mom & dad but didn't want kids.

 

 

Guess Who's Twelve?!

It's very surreal that we have a twelve year old!  When did Noah get so big?  It seems not that long ago we were teaching him how to walk, saving kittens from his toddler-fisted clutches, and sending him off to school for the first time.  Noah is not only a great son, he's a great big brother.  Noah has always been quick to help and does well in everything he puts his mind to.  He's also very meticulous and hard-working. 

 

This year he got to have a party with friends.  Jeremy ended up taking him and some friends to play laser tag at Stratum Laser Tag in Tempe.  Afterwards, they returned to our house for pizza, cake and ice cream, and basketball. 

 

Because of Jeremy's crazy work week, we celebrated two days early with some family and friends at the park.

The D-backs jersey Grandpa and Grandma Frye gave Noah.

Noah was ordained a Deacon today in our church.
