Here are some pics of our little family. Is it wrong of me that I love Noah's pouting face? Its the saddest thing in all the world, sometimes we wont even know why he's doing it. In this picture, he had just woken up from a nap in Scott's arms. Maybe he had a bad dream or something. Who knows.

motherhood

I know that I probably talk about this all too much. But, being a mother is the best decision that I ever made. It's very hard work at times, but I have never felt so much joy and purpose in my life as I do now. When I was growing up, I didn't want to get married let alone have children. I'm glad that I changed my mind. Every little thing that Noah does melts my heart. Being a mother definitely changes your life and priorities, but its worth all of it. He's growing up so fast, and although I enjoy the new things he does every day, I miss the things he doesn't do anymore. He used to squeak all the time when he was a newborn, and make the sweetest little breathing noises when he'd eat. Now he makes lots and lots of noises like he's telling us stories. I used to rock him to sleep in his rocking chair, and now he just wants to be put in bed wide awake so that he can watch his Jungle Mobile before he dozes off to sleep on his own. He's becoming much more independent of me. He likes to lay on the floor and play with his toys most of the time instead of sitting on my lap. But I love every change and every new thing. I hope that he will have a very long and happy life.

our baby boy

Here are some pictures of Noah, our first child. He was born February 16th, 2009. He weighed 10lbs 6oz and was 21 1/2 inches long! He was born with a full head of dark hair and it has only gotten longer since then.

My first mothers day!

Sunday was my very first mother's day. Scott got up with Noah when he woke up for the day at 8:30 and let me sleep in! I woke up at 9:30 and went downstairs to where Scott and Noah were hanging out. Noah was sitting on the couch holding a card that said, "mom" on it. The handwriting looked like he wrote it all by himself, I have a sneaking suspicion that it was really Scott that wrote it... Anywho, the card was a picture of Lionus from Charlie Brown holding his blankie, it said, "There are two things that always make me feel better, this and you!" Scott picked that card out because Noah sort of looks like Lionus because of his crazy hair and also because I have a baby blanket from growing up that I'm still attached to. I don't sleep with it or anything, but he is folded up by my bed just in case a monster is to make an appearance and I need protection.
After hanging out with Noah and Scott for a minute, I got myself and Noah ready for church. Primary was first and Noah had the best time. He sat on my lap and smiled at everyone and everything. Then when singing time came about, he decided to start singing along. He was singing very loud, "GAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! OOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Everyone thought he was so cute! Then when singing time ended, he got cranky and was ready for a nap. But he couldn't sleep with the loud primary kids around. So I dropped him off back home with Scott and went back for the rest of church.
Also, my mom is in town because my sister had her baby. So my mom came up to my house for a little bit to visit with us. It was so great to hang out with her. She thought that Noah had grown a ton since she last saw him.

Here it is!

Okay, so for the longest time now, my friends have been nagging me to start a blog. I really dont have an interesting life. I do the same things every day and not much changes. So my argument was that I dont have a single thing to write about. So here is the start of the most boring blog you will ever read!! If you ever need to be put to sleep, log on and read.
