Gooooaaaalllll

Kc has been addicted to the World Cup this year. He has Tivoed {recorded} every single game and runs out of the room when anyone talks about a game that he has not yet seen.

Noah has learned many signs {more to come} but one that Kc is most proud of is "Goal". Noah raises both hands high in the sky and puts a HUGE smile on his face. He loves to sign "Goal" over and over and over again. Unfortunately, soccer games don't have that many goals in a game.Kc is looking forward to the final game on Sunday {Go Netherlands} and to the start of the football season in September..."Goal" will then become "Touchdown".

Trying to Levitate

As you know, Noah DOES NOT like the sand. He HATES how wet, cold, and crumbly it feels under his feet. What kind of parents would we be if we didn't push him into sand every chance we get?!?

While up at Huntington Lake, we headed down to the water so that Sierra could do a bit of swimming. While Daddy-O was throwing the stick in the lake {over...and over...and over again} Noah and I played in the sand. He practiced his levitating abilities while I practiced not laughing too hard. Our Little Stinkpot, while he has not yet mastered levitation, has stolen our hearts and makes us look forward to tomorrow. Here's to many more tomorrows!

Fourth of July

The Jacksons were blessed, once again, to be able to spend the Fourth of July at Huntington Lake. Our very generous friends let us use their cabin to get away for an extended weekend. We were able to play at the lake, read on the deck, bbq an amazing pork tenderloin, take naps in front of the fire, and spend quality time together as a family.

Sierra was in hog heaven being able to swim in the lake, lay in the sun on the deck, and smell all the wonderful smells in the forest.Noah and I had fun watching Daddy-O throw a stick in the lake for Sierra to fetch...over...and over...and over again.Noah LOVED playing on the deck. He pushed a Tonka truck all around, filling it up with toys and dumping them at opposite ends of the deck.He also loved to bring toys up onto the dog bed and throw them off.I had so much fun just watching my Little Man play.When inside, Noah loved to throw any toy he could lift over the rail under the bottom of the kitchen table. At one point, Charlie even made it over the rail.

We had such an awesome, relaxing, chilly weekend. Thank You!!!

Playing

With his arms all wrapped up, it is very hard for my little Stinkpot to play with most of his toys. Yesterday, I found him playing in the bathroom with the toilet paper roll.
What?!? I was just playing!

Bath Bags

Noah is not allowed to get his fingers and arms wet which makes bath time a bit of a conundrum. After several days without a bath, our little stinky guy was in desperate need. We decided to wrap his arms in zip-top bags and tape them securely.
Mr. Man DID NOT appreciate our attempt at keeping his arms dry. I don't think I have seen Noah cry this much during a bath since his very first one after being born.
We see the plastic surgeon on Friday and hopefully the wraps will come off and my little Stinkpot can have a proper bath.
