Noah's Pirate Party

Noah had such a great birthday party. We invited a bunch of little buddies over to help us celebrate Pirate style. They made their own hats, and they all got pirate eye patches. And you can't be a pirate without a tattoo of course!! Next we took the kids outside to paint their own Jolly Roger (pirate flag). And after they officially looked like pirates, they got to go on a treasure hunt. I hid pirate maps all over the yard, that had clues on them. The clues led them to the X on our porch, and a treasure box full of GOLD (candy). Noah got lots of real treasure from all his buddies. Thank you to all our guests who made our pirate party such a fun day!!

Memorial Day Lunch at Aunt Jaime's house

Monday morning we headed over to Aunt Jaime's house. I was so ready to get my hands on that new baby of hers!!! He is absolutely precious. Kaleb Malachi Rhinehart, is the best baby. He slept the whole time we were there and endured being passed from person to person without much more than a little squirming. But we had to see him scream a little before we left, and he let us know that he did not want his picture taken in the end. At the time all he wanted was food.

His sissy is a cutie herself, I always spend the whole time trying to get a good shot of those dimples, but apparently she is a little camera shy herself.

Grandmother grilled us some pork for BBQ sandwiches and it was so YUMMY!!! We all had a great time just enjoying each other's company. Unfortunately since we only had the weekend, we had to leave shortly after for a long ride home. But I am sooooo looking forward to some more cuddle time with little Kaleb the next time we make it down.

square?... NO "circle dancing"

If you have ever tried to get Noah to dance you know he is kind of shy about it. He isn't quite sure what to do. Not any more buddy!!! he has found the dance for him. While were were at Fiddler's Grove he got to see cloggers doing a square dance. When they stopped he said over and over, "can I dance, mommy" I told him as soon as the music started up again. I was a little surprised because, like I said, he never wants to dance. Well that music came on and he was off like a SHOT!!! He knew just what to do, just run in circles just like those square dancers. And that is what he did for the rest of the night, only stopping between songs. But as soon as they started playing music again, he started running!!!
