Arizona State Fair

Yeah for State Fairs!!
Noah chilling with his Daddy.  I love that he is asleep with one hand on his pumpkin hat and his other arm is cradling his soother.  
Another crazy ride...I am starting to think that all of the photos I posted on Facebook I am posting here.  Sorry for the repeats.
Noah's first ride!!  
Oh yes she looks calm folks but inside she was screaming, get me off this thing!!  The worst is when they stop the Ferris Wheel to let people off and you are just hanging way up high.
On the Ferris Wheel.  
The James's on the crazy-make-you-lose-your-dinner ride.  For some reason there was this grungy looking tarp that covered you.  All I can say is what if someone had just barfed??  Gross.
Emma: I am going to post the video that I took right after this shot on Facebook.  She can sure get down and boogie:)  

The crazy Mega Drop ride.  I finally got up my nerve to go on this ride with Kelly.  I was so scared.  It was actually a lot of fun going up and seeing out onto the fair but the drop?  I don't think I breathed, blinked, or screamed but quite possibly could have (but didn't) pee my pant's.  It was petrifying and thrilling all at once.  

A Noah First

Guess what!?  Noah officially rolled over last night!!  And Kelly and I missed it!!  Our son rolls over for the first time and we didn't see it (FYI: I can't get him to recreate the momentous event no matter how hard I try).  So I guess that our little one decided that rewarding the James's with his new skills was payment for having three little ones all crying at the same time last night, while his parent's were at Bible Study.  And so we missed it.  Not the crying, certainly wouldn't miss that, but his first officially roll.  Sigh.  I am actually super excited that he is rolling because I was starting to wonder if maybe his, um, chubbiness may be cause for the delays.  

New Food Alert: Squash

Hmm...is Mom really going to try to stuff squash into my mouth??  Really she needs to stop trying to feed me all these healthy veggies-bring on the fruit!!  (Don't you love people who think they are speaking thoughts for their baby??)

Pumpkin's

Thanks Jenna for opening your home and organizing this fun, creative craft~ I had a great time making my pumpkin and it looks pretty darn cute sitting on my mantel.  

To bead or not to bead....

I love to bead jewelry and I have been beading for a few years now.  Lately a cute little bundle has been consuming much of my time so if I do get free time I am either on the computer or trying to clean the house, quietly!  But I have this great website that I have always loved going to for ideas.  I thought I would post it on my 'sites to see' for any of you who also love to make jewelry.  Who knows maybe this will inspire me to start again...

Blankie Boy

My son loves(!!) to hide his face while sleeping.  I usually try to check on him through out his nap to uncover his face but inevitably he will have covered it again by the end of his nap.  Here's a good example.  

Noah's New Hair Do!

Please disregard the yummy carrot dinner on his shirt...
