Noah's Hat

I just finished knitting a hat for Noah. He likes it!

Brady's Thanksgiving Program

Brady had his Thanksgiving Program at school last Friday. He was an indian. He did a wonderful job learning all of his songs and he did a great job singing them during the program.

Brady made a turkey to give to us after his program.

Brady was excited that Nanny could come to his program.

Halloween Part II

Brady dressed up like a Knight in Shining Armor this year for Halloween. Here he is in my aunt and uncle's front yard. They really decorate for Halloween. Brady was so excited to be able to see "his Bill and Nancy" on Halloween!

Here are my two cuties on Halloween.

Noah was a lion this year. Brady wore this same costume in 2006. If you put pictures side by side, you can't tell them apart!

Halloween 2009 Part I

Brady wnted to count and check all of his candy. Here he is with mom and all 56 pieces!

October Pictures

Here is Noah sitting on top of Cooper. They are the best of freinds and Cooper let's Noah do just about anything to him.

Brady's class went on a field trip to the pumpkin patch. Here is his "perfect pumpkin."

Here is Brady trying to pick the perfect pumpkin.

Here are Brady and Noah posing one Sunday after church.

Noah's First Birthday Party

We celebrated Noah's birthday this past Saturday with a party at home with family. It was a wonderful day and Noah had a great time. Wow! I cannot believe that Noah is a year old already. The time is just flying by.

Here is Noah's birthday cake. It turned out great!

Here is Noah blowing out his candle. (He had a little help from Brady.)

Yummy! I think Noah loved his cake. He kept eating and eating. I had to take it away from him so he would not eat too much sugar!

Here we are posing with the cake before we cut into it.

Noah's First Birthday Party

Noah loved his cake. Here is is trying to taste it!

Noah loves his Grammy.

Noah was a bit overwhelmed at first with all of his birthday gifts, but he is really enjoying playing with them all now.

Brady helped Noah open his birthday gifts. You can tell he was really into it. I bet next year will be a little different when Noah wants to open them all by himself!

Noah's First Birthday Party

Noah and Brady with Grandpa and Granma Pinkerman. We were so glad that they were able to make it up from LaGrange for Noah's big day.

Here is Noah with Aunt Amy and Uncle Shane. We were also thrilled that they could travel to Greenville for Noah's party.

Here is Noah with Virginia.



Brady was clapping for Nanny. He has such a good time at his party.

Here is Noah clapping again with Bill, Nancy, and Jason.

Happy First Birthday Noah

Noah celebrated his first birthday today. We are having a party for the family on Saturday, but we celebrated tonight with a cupcake which he loved! Notice he goes from being clean to being very dirty very quickly! (I think he has his Daddy's sweet tooth!)

September Pictures

Brady bought Lincoln Logs with some of the money that he got for his birthday. He spent quite a while recreating the picture on the front of the Lincoln Log box. He loves his Lincoln Logs!

Noah loves to eat, but he especially loves to take a bath after he gets nice and messy! Here he is squealing in the tub, and yes, he squeals quite loudly these days!

Brady's 4th Birthday

Brady turned four on Monday. He is very excited to be four! We celebrated with a party at Chuck E. Cheese's with his school friends. He had a wonderful time. He had a "Backyardigans" cake (which he picked out himself.) He got a bike from mom and dad and he cannot wait to ride it around the block. (He is pretty steady on the training wheels, bit he needs lots more practice.)

Noah's New Seat

Noah finally weighs enough for the "big boy" car seat and he no longer needs the baby carrier. He really likes it. Here he is trying it out in the den before we put it in the car!

Jennifer's Graduation Part II

Ryan was in charge of my cake and he did a wonderful job! I was so excited when I saw it.
Here is Linda, Sid, Bill, Jennifer, Jason, and Brady. We got together for some cake after graduation.

Jennifer, Nancy, and Jason.

Brady's tradition (started by Grammy) is to put his finger in the side of the cake before we cut it. Here we go!

Notice Brady posing for this picture!

Jennifer's Graduation Part I

Yeah! I am finally finished with school, and I graduated from USC on Saturday with my Master's in Library and Information Science. Now I can be a Mommy and and a wife again.

Here are Ryan and I right after graduation.

Here I am with Mom and Dad outside after graduation.

Here I am with my professor Dr. Pat Feehan, she is the best!

Mommy, what's on your head?

We tried to get a family picture, but it didn't work out so well, but here is our best attempt!
