The Blog Train

I've had several friends that have started blogs and it has motivated me to get back on the "blog train". It's such a shame that I'm so behind on postings. It has probably been 6 months since I logged in to add any pics. Pretty rediculous, I'd say! I do have some great pictures from SUMMER (yes, SUMMER..that was sooooo long ago!) that I'd like to share. I also have a few Falls pics and then Christmas/Blizzard of 2009 pics. Hope I still have a few blog followers. Thanks for not giving up on me.

Baby Nixon

We celebrated the arrival of our sweet nephew and cousin, Nixon Jude McCaulla on June 26th, 2009. He is such a sweet addition to our family.

4th of July

We had very fun 4th of July this year. We did lots of celebrating with neighbors and friends. We did fireworks with the neighbors the entire week before the 4th. On the 4th of July, we went to the Edmond Parade and then participated in the annual neighborhood bicycle parade. Our bike decor wasn't quite as cool last year. That's because mom did the decorating this year instead of dad. That's so shameful!!

Trip to Turner Falls

We took a little day trip to Turner Falls. The boys had a blast. They loved playing in the water. I was thankful that it was nice and cool and "clear". It was a fun day for all!

Trip to Grandma and Grandpa Hudsons House

My grandparents have the most amazing garden and I'm so thankful that I was able to get some pictures of it this year. Very few people have a green thumb and the ability to grow a garden like this. Actually, I think it's a dying art and a garden like this is hard to find now days. For many years, they have been growing the most amazing garden vegetables. Noah was on a visit to TX during our visit to Grandparents house, so that's why Noah isn't in any of the pics. I also photographed Reid and cousin Karson in one of my grandpa's old vintage pick-up trucks. It was a fun day and these photos are priceless!

Big Wheel Rally

Noah completed his first year of Preschool at Warm World. He will be moving on from being a Caterpiller to being a "Monarch" Butterfly next year. At the end of the year, the school hosted a Big Wheel Rally. All the kids got to bring their big wheel and ride around a track. Of course, Noah thought it was a race and was asked to slow down several times. Can you imagine that? He acted like he owned the course. Hard to believe I know!!

M&M Olympics

Noah took a stab at gymnastics this year and he was a superstar. This talent runs deep within his blood. He's a chip off the old block! Flips and Handstands come easy for him and mommy is not "the block"! At the end of the year, they had a special performance called M&M Olympics. He got to show off all of his new moves. It was awesome. Rod and I were so proud of our little olympian.
