Noah's First Sleepover
Eva Hutchings came to stay in early September. She & Noah had a great time pushing each other in the truck & Eva showed us her 'Dukes of Hazzard' move!
Books with Buppa
(August 13) I love that it's hard to tell who's reading to whom. Noah loves his Buppa!
Mama's Little Helper
(August 8) So it took me 3x as long to make rolls that day. But he was SO cute!
Reinvented
(July 31) It amazes me how kids can find a million uses for toys that have nothing to do with their original function. Why use this as an art easel when it makes such an excellent tunnel?
The Cake
I posted a recap of Noah's 2nd birthday long ago, but I promised myself I would eventually include a special section dedicated to the cake. And to the INSANE amount of hours I labored on that thing.
(Probably to remind myself to BUY one next year.)
I forget how many hours I spent on it - but it took up a large portion of 2 days. Why? I'm an amateur, an overachiever & a perfectionist. Yikes.
My plan: stacked double-layered 12" and 8" rounds, with raspberry filling & Thomas decor. (Easy, right!?) We (meaning my Mom & I - she's only in 2 of the pictures, but there would have been NO cake without her) baked twice the amount normally planned due to measuring issues (mine). We had to piece part of a layer back together because I got a bit zealous with the fishing line (don't ask). But all in all, it turned out perfectly - even better than I'd hoped.
And given my mother-of-a-toddler-short-term memory, you'll likely find me next year, planning another ginormous project. At least I enjoyed myself (most of the time)!
Thanks for all of your help, Mom. It was fun!

On the Farm
For his bday weekend, Noah enjoyed some down time on the farm: "working" with Papa Chet & Scott Bybee & playing bubbles with cousin Olivia!
A Boy, His Dog & the Zoo
(July 14 & 15)
Man, we really miss Mars. He was a good sport!
Noah loves the 'safari' part of the zoo!
