Merry Christmas 2010

We had a very merry Christmas this year! (AS ALWAYS!) We were able to be with all of our family at various times throughout the week. The 21st we were at Gma and Gpa Oakley's, the 23rd we were with Gma and Gpa Skiles, the 24th we celebrated GGma and Tegan's birthdays, and on the 25th we were at GGma and GGpa's in the morning then in the evening we went to Great Granny and Gpa Roy's! What a busy, but very blessed week. Several days of great fun and time spent with family and friends. We hope you all had as merry of a Christmas as we did! Pics below are of Rachel and Noah opening their gifts from Santa and us on Christmas morning. :)

Noah's 2 Month Pics

Hanging Out!

Smiles are becoming more frequent, and I could not resist getting a shot of this "pose!" And just for the record I think he looks like me in this one. Anyone else see it, or am I just hoping?! :)

Dancing Machine!

Colemans Meet Noah

Noah was almost 2 months old before the Coleman crew got to meet him for the first time. (Momma went into labor just 2 days after they left to go home on their last trip up!) Nevertheless, it was a great time! Pics of Aunt Jess, Uncle Ryan, Kinley and Jaxon with the little guy!

Family Shots

Jessica and Krista took some pics of our family of 4 when we took the big annual family pic. As usual they turned out great. Memories in the making!

First Smiles

Noah really isn't much for smiling. However, he occasionally lets one slip! This is one of his very first! (outside of the ones caused by gas! Nov. 5th) :)

Dora Party!

The party was delayed by a week since the ENTIRE family was sick last week, but Rachel didn't seem to mind!

There was no question as to what the theme for Rachel's party was going to be this year! Dora is the IN thing at our house right now, so it made planning for Momma very easy! Rachel was thrilled! Every decoration I got out she got more and more excited...then there was the cake! Aunt Jenn made the cakes for the party! As usual she did an amazing job! I took them out of the box and she started yelling.. "Dora, Diego, Dora, Diego, Diego, Dora!" Then she simply said "fork!" (Hilarious!)
She had a blast eating the cake, opening gifts, and playing with her cousins. Thank you to everyone who made the party special for our little Dora fanatic!







More pictures will hopefully be up on FB later. Aunt Krista took several more, I just haven't gotten them from her yet! (Thanks Aunt Krista!)

Happy Birthday Rachel!

It's hard to believe that 2 years have already past! We have already made so many memories with this little girl, and I can't wait for more! Happy Birthday, Rachel Elise!

My Daddy Sleeps in A Big Girl Bed...Does Yours?!

This morning Rachel woke up too early, but wasn't going back to bed without a fight! Daddy finally convinced her to go back to bed if he stayed in there with her. I saw the 2 of them in the TODDLER bed on the video monitor when I woke up and couldn't resist the urge to take a pic! Funny, but so sweet at the same time. She loves her Daddy!

Another Trip To The Zoo!

We might just be running out of warm days to go to the zoo this year! We all (Jenn, Krista,Michelle, and all the Kansas Cousins) went yesterday afternoon in a "brisk" 58 degrees. Much cooler then the last time we went! Nevertheless, the kids had a blast. I found myself missing Jess and her kids this trip since we all were able to go,but I know we will see them in a couple weeks at Thanksgiving. Maybe it will still be warm enough to go then too!

Noah's First Time Overnight Gma Oakley!

2 Weekends ago Noah and Rachel stayed the night at Gma and Gpa Oakley's house. Although Rachel has done this many times, this was Noah's first overnight with out Momma! Things went well I guess! A few pics below!

Pumpkin Patch 2010

Saturday evening we took Rachel and Noah to the Pumpkin Patch with Daddy's family. Gma Skiles, Aunt Monica, and soon to be UNCLE Trey! (Rachel's 2nd time and Noah's 1st!) Noah slept pretty much the entire time, but Rachel had more fun then I ever imagined she would! There was lots to do as the pics below show! We took a wagon ride out to the field to pick our own pumpkin, went down slides, stuck our heads through the holes to look like animals (my personal favorite of Daddy!), Daddy did the zip line, ate pumpkin shaped cookies and took some family photos. This was the best Pumpkin Patch I have ever been to! We will hopefully get a chance to do it next year too!

One Month Old!

I can't believe it's already been a month since my 2nd blessing entered this world. Yet again I have been blessed with baby who SLEEPS THROUGH THE NIGHT! Noah's biggest accomplishment has been learning to sleep through the night and after sleeping 10 hours last night, I think he has it down! ( This pas week he hasn't slept less then 7!) He's a great eater, and content most of the time. He likes to be held, but is also okay with sitting on the Boppy on the floor or in his swing! I couldn't be more happy with this little guy! I find myself wondering again (just as I did with Rachel) how did I live my life without this?! Time is flying, but I love him more then words could ever descibe!

Below is a pic of him this morning before he woke up from his 10 hours of slumber!

Trip To The Park

Two Saturdays ago we went to the park with Gma and Gpa,some Aunts, and cousins. (Much easier then typing everyone's names!) It was actually Noah's second trip to the park, but the first time we went I didn't have my camera! As always it was a blast!
