He's 6!!

My little Malachi has turned 6.  He was so excited for his birthday this year.  He wanted to have the family party at Grandma & Grandpas so he could go swimming.  I don't really get many swimming pictures because I'm usually the first one in the pool.  But he sure had such a fun time.  He wanted an Oreo ice cream cake and we did a bbq for dinner.  It was a great day.

Happy Birthday Malachi!

My little Malachi turned 5 on June 10th.  He was so excited for his birthday and for all the family that was going to be coming.  Because of road construction my parents were late, so things got started later than planned.  But that didn't bother Malachi...he was just so excited to have everyone coming.

He was so excited for all his gifts.  Thanks everyone for coming.

Grandpa Earl Noble is 90!!

Grandpa turned 90 this year, so my mom and her siblings put on a big birthday party for him.  They held it on the 19th, which is my birthday, so mine was pretty low key.  But that is ok.  It was so fun to see grandpa visiting with everyone and to see all the people who came.  More of the family came for this, than did for a family reunion.

Everyone wrote a letter to grandpa of memories they had with him, and Uncle Dave presented to him in a book so that grandpa could read them whenever he felt like.

My cousin Amy Muhia made this little chalkboard of things from when grandpa was born.  At the bottom are quotes he is famous for saying.  The one at the bottom is one I still hear him say.  "I never had it so good."

There were a lot of people who came.  It was nice to see so many supporting grandpa.

James has been taking the missionary discussions and can hardly wait to get baptized.  We have to wait until we have him adopted before he can get baptized.  These missionaries were the ones who taught him, and this is our last Sunday in this ward, so we took pictures.

Birthday Party and Family fun

My nephew Aiden had his birthday party this weekend, and we took the boys.  They had a bouncy house there and the boys LOVED it!!  They had a hard time getting out.  They just jumped and jumped.  They did play with Grandma on the swing set also.  It was so fun to see how much fun they were having.

One of the boys' favorite things to do is to wrestle with daddy.  I remember growing up my siblings and I would always wrestle with dad all the time.  So this brings back memories when the boys want to do this.
