Noah LOVES his ABC's

A couple weeks ago Noah was playing in the tub. We have foam letters in the tub so I decided that while I was just sitting in there I'd quiz him a little on his ABC's. I knew that he could pick out the letter O, M, and N. I'm always telling the boys that M is for Mason and N is for Noah. As I was randomly picking up letters I discovered he knew A LOT more letters than I thought. In fact almost every letter. I couldn't believe it. I was shocked and excited.

It's fun to go over letters with him because he really likes it. For some reason the letter N he says "Me!" I think it's because he doesn't really say his own name. He always calls himself "Me!" So instead of saying N for Noah he says "N for me!" Too funny. Also for some reason the Letter E he just says Eagle?!? Not sure about that one!

It's Raining, It's Pouring...

Ron's hours have picked up at work lately. (It's that time again! Ron's mom calls me a Tax widow! :) So in the evenings I try to keep the boys occupied and busy so they will be tired but also get to see Daddy before bed. His job with Insight right now is so much better than his previous crazy job. So I really can't complain about 8 or 8:30pm homecomings. This week on Tuesday night I was trying to figure something to do with the boys. Then it started raining and I came up with a plan!!!!

BEFORE:

The boys were fascinated by the lightning.

Ok... so it really didn't "POUR" rain. But we got pretty wet anyways!

I love playing in the rain, especially with my boys!

Aunt Anna babysitting!

Yesterday at work I got this picture sent to me on my phone! How cute is this? My boys just love Aunt Maryann! Or should I say "Nana!" (That's what they call her!) Thank you Maryann for watching them while I work. This picture definitely made me want to leave work and come home to join in on the fun!!!!

Ok Mom! I'm ready to go Swimming!!!!

Eight is GREAT!

8 years!!! I can't believe I have been married to this wonderful man for 8 years. Time definitely flys when you're having fun! I wasn't too excited about working on our anniversary. I wanted to be able to make a nice fancy meal (when I say fancy I mean something besides spaghetti! :) I also wanted the house to be nice and clean... just little things to be done that I know Ron appreciates that require some time.

But being at work today actually worked in my favor! I got to go out to lunch with Ron AND he had a gorgeous bouquet of flowers sent to me at work!!!! What a thoughtful husband! I really am very lucky to have Ron as my eternal companion. He is so good for me in many ways. I love how he makes me want to be a better person, he's logical (a little too logical sometimes), and really talented!!!! This man is a PERFECTIONIST (in a good way). If he does something he's going to do it right! I am truly blessed.

Thank you Ron for an amazing Eight!

Aren't they absolutely perfect?!?! You can't really see but they have glitter sprayed on the flower tips! Super cute! I love them!
