Fall Break

Although Noah has been enjoying school he has been so excited to have fall break!  Even though it was only for one week, I was excited too.  It meant I didn't have to get up at 6.30am and I could maybe have a lay in.  Okay in reality it didn't happen till Matthias was off on Monday for Columbus Day. But still not having to rush out the door at 7.30am and then make sure Roman had taken a nap before 2pm has its restrictions that I was very grateful not to have this past week.

I tired to plan a few fun things for the boys to do, but as always the general run of the mill things also had to be done, like food shopping, washing, cleaning the house, not to mention I had an OB appointment and a church meeting during the day.  But my boys were awesome, they took it all in their stride and just enjoyed being able to do what they wanted. 

One of the highlights of our week was going to the beach with our friends and seeing these beauties!






Yes this is just another casual day in Hawaii!  Noah and Roman just loved seeing them.  When Noah finally spotted them, they had been on the beach for a few minutes, he was so excited, he even asked, "Mummy, can I ride it!?"  I obviously told him no! :)  My funny boy.

We did also manage to have a fun filled Monday with Matthias and went on another trip to Wet n Wild; this is possibly the boys favourite place.  Noah is getting really confident with his swimming abilities and actually loves going under the water now!  He has been so apprehensive and all of a sudden its just clicked and he loves swimming and diving. 







Wave pool fun!

Isn't he adorable!

I can't believe how quickly the week was over.  I miss my little Noah being with us everyday and let me tell you the house is very quiet without him.  I don't actually know Roman is with me!  So it was nice to have him this past week.  I can definitely say I'm a parent that LOVES having her children at home. Roll on Thanksgiving break! :)

It kind of snowed.....twice

Image
So my lovely little (or not so little) cutie pies were really excited to move here for one main reason...SNOW!  They had never seen or can remember seeing snow.  So after hearing that last years snow fall was a crazy amount and the schools were closed, they were super excited for this winter. (A lot more so than mummy, let me tell you!)  If there is one thing I have learned from moving here, although I do like it here, I DO NOT like cold weather!  I just cannot stay warm....but hey that's another story.  A few weeks back we did indeed get snow. This was the second time this year.  It was a very little but it pleased my children all the same!  They had fun in the snow till their fingers froze.  There was enough snow to make a snowman this time so they were happy. View from our front door Noah trying to make a snow angel.  The snow had unfortunately frozen, because of freezing rain, but it did make a little indent. Noah p...

Noah's Baptism

Image
It really is great to be 8!  Our handsome Noah has been looking forward to this day for over a year now.  In our church you are able to get baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at the age of 8. We believe that Baptism is an important first step to returning back to our Heavenly Father and to be able to eventually live together forever.  (For my non LDS friends you can read more about baptism and our religion here .)  We have been planning for a few weeks some of the things he wanted and he was super excited because both his grandparents were able to visit for his special day. He was baptized on his birthday by his daddy and the given the gift of the Holy Ghost by daddy too.  We had a small gathering, but enjoyed a yummy ice cream bar afterwards, Noah's request! :) We are so proud of him.  Noah is growing up to be a fine young man, he's caring, loving, intelligent, humble, crazy (the good kind :), there is never a dull mom...
