Grandpa Mike & Grandma Lisa Visit

Grandpa Mike and Grandma Lisa came back from China for a visit and we kicked it off with a fun family weekend at the cottage.

Koen sure enjoyed meeting his grandparents!!

 Emmie and I had a blast playing together and making everyone laugh :-)

Mommy tried her best to get a picture of the two of us smiling, but this is what she got.  Emmie and I hunted for Easter eggs multiple times throughout the weekend and once we decided they would make good photo props, it was all over!

I especially liked what was inside the eggs :-)

Koen loved snuggling with Auntie Sarah and just hanging out with the fam.

My cuz and I share many of the same interests...Culver's french fries and milk shakes, taking fun baths with Grandma Lisa, and riding bikes!

Here Emmie, let me help you with that bib...

After the weekend we continued the fun for a few more days in Chicago with Grandpa and Grandma.  And to top it off, Grandma Glo came to stay with us too!

 I got to celebrate my birthday for the 3rd time with them - it never gets old!

 It was so wonderful to see you, Grandpa and Grandma and we can't wait to see you again in July!  We love you!!!

Salami!

Baking with Mommy

Mmmmmm, YUMMY!

Noah's 3-Year Stats

I went to the doc a couple weeks ago for my 3-yr appt and she said I'm a healthy lad!

Height: 39 inches (75%)

Weight: 32 lbs (50-75%)

They don't measure my head anymore now that I'm a big boy, but she did take my blood pressure and BMI which were both right on track.

Here are some pictures of what my brother and I have been up to lately...

 

Koen seems to be taking after me in some ways...

I've been practicing writing my letters and numbers and am getting really good!

But I can only concentrate for so long before I have to get crazy again :-)

 

Koen really is fond of that Grandpa Bob!

He's getting pretty good at holding the bottle but I still like to help.

Family February

It was so wonderful to be with family so much of February - especially for my birthday celebrations.  Thanks for coming to visit us!!  We love you!

 

  

Oh Uncle Ray, you are hilarious!!!

 

 

Noah's 3rd Birthday - Part 2

I got to have another birthday party at home this past Saturday with all my friends - I requested a Lightning McQueen theme this time!

 

  

 We played "Pin the Lightning McQueen race car on the race track" to win the Piston Cup!

 

Here I am with some of my friends - whoever Mommy could talk into piling on the couch!

 

  

  

  

I had lots of help opening presents :-)

 

  

  

Total headcount: 22 kids and 18 adults.  WHEW!!!!!

  

One of my favorite gifts: Chick Hicks and his trailer truck.

  

Our best buds :-)

Thanks for coming to celebrate with me Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Ray!
