What I Did On My Summer Vacation

It's been a long, long time since Mommy has written anything on here for me. She apologizes. Since it's been so long, it's kinda hard to tell you all the things I've been up to, so here are some highlights from the last 6 months.

* I have a new baby cousin named Hannah.
* I went on a fishing trip.
* I went to the beach.
* I learned how to use the potty.
* I went camping.
* I celebrated Adrianna's 4th Birthday.
* I started swimming lessons.
* I went on a trip to Lethbridge.
* I went on a trip to Edmonton.

And here are some pictures from a few of these highlights.

Yelling at Daddy and Grandpa
to come back and play with me.

Helping Adrianna with her presents.

"You WANT me to hit that thing!?"
No problem!

My first day of swimming lessons.

Listening to the teacher with the rest of my class.

Waiting my turn down the little water slide
since they wouldn't let us go down the big one.
No matter how much we asked.

Hanging out with Grandpa Ray in the hot-tub.

Playing with Grandpa Ray's new puppy, Bullet.

Concentrating on my driving at Galaxyland.

Enjoying the Merry-Go-Round with Adrianna.

"Look Mommy, one hand!"

I learned in swimming lessons.

Enjoying an ice cream cone with Mommy.
(It was Mommy's treat after she had to get a needle.)

That pretty much brings us up-to-date. Stay tuned for highlights from my first day of school and the day I become a big brother!

Birthday Bash: Part 2

As promised, here are the pictures from Noah's 3rd Birthday Party. Special thanks to Becky who acted as photographer for this event.

Grandpa came over early to play.

The first in a long line of gifts.

relationship right now.

Very excited about the construction blocks
from Aunty Becky and Aunty Ang.

Presents make Noah very happy.

I'm saying cheese Aunty Becky!

There's Daddy!

Cheese!

Mommy's handiwork. Hehehe.

Enjoying the ice cream cake.

Time to play with the toys!

Playing Robot Potato-Head with Grandma.

It was a very fun party and Noah got SPOILED. Thanks to everyone who came. I think this was the funnest birthday party yet. It helps when your child actually knows what's going on and recognizes what a present it. And, boy, did he recognize!

Monster Trucks!

On Friday night Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Mike came with me to the monster trucks. I was really excited about seeing the big monster trucks, not the little ones. There was other stuff there too. There were motorbikes that raced and jumped. Regular trucks that crashed. People even raced around on lawn mowers. It turns out that monster trucks are pretty loud and scary. I didn't really like it when they came out to do their stuff. But I still had fun and talk about it all the time. Here are some pictures.

Here's Mommy trying to take a picture of us.
Those chairs are pretty squishy.

Here are Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Mike.

This is how I spent the night: on Daddy's
lap with his hands over my ears.
(There were earplugs underneath too.)

This is the monster truck that gave everybody rides.

Here's one of the regular trucks that raced around.

These are the racing motorbikes.

And this is one of the jumping motorbikes.
If you look really hard you can see him in the air.
This was my favourite part.

These are the weirdos that raced around on lawn mowers.

And these are two of the really big, really loud
monster trucks. I liked the dinosaur one.
(I just didn't like it when it made noise.)
