Um yes, it's officially been almost another two weeks since I posted last!  I have been a delinquent blogger - partly because there hasn't been much to report and partly because the thought of sitting down and typing it all out seems a little boring.  Yet here I am, with something to say (for myself anyway) and if you enjoy it to well then that would be pretty awesome!

First of all,  this little fella (who is the cutest little fella around) is officially 20 months old today!! Or should I stop using months and say, he will be two in February?  Either way, he is growing and growing fast! One thing that never changes though is how adorable he is.  Would you dare to disagree??


Some of my favorite things about Noah:
He is so intelligent and observant
He is predictable
He sleeps like a champ
He makes me laugh
He is so friendly and loves to be around people
He cuddles on my shoulder when he is tired
I love his dance moves
He helps me unfold the laundry
He looks like his daddy (lucky kid!)

We have so much fun together and I am very lucky to be home with him every day.  I just love him.

A few other things worth of note:

Diary of a Whimpy Kid. 
Andy and I rented Diary of a Whimpy Kid last weekend.  Since it's really meant for kids, I wasn't expecting much.  Andy fell asleep for most of the movie but I can say there were a few parts that were super hilarious...this being one of them.


Yes I find that funny, and apologize if you don't share my humor. I laughed at that part, and occasionally find myself repeating the line, just for the fun of it.

WWII Veterans DinnerThis past week Andy and a friend from work have been escorting WWII veterans and their families around Fort Leonard Wood.  Andy has had such a wonderful experience getting to know these wonderful men and women - and last night they invited us to join them on their closing dinner social.   The company was amazing and so complimentary of Andy and his coworker.  We ate dinner in a cave (yes there is an actual restaurant here that is built in a cave).  Noah was the HIT of the show and passed around practically from table to table.  One lady bought him a beanie baby, another insisted on holding him while he cuddled on her shoulder.  He loved it, and as a happy mama, so did I. 

Hopefully I will have pictures to share soon and will post them when I get them.  All it all, it was one of the greatest experience I've had and I am grateful I was able to meet so many wonderful people. 

Lastly, but certainly not least General Conference
Last weekend we had the opportunity to watch the semiannual General Conference for the Chruch of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  It was amazing (as usual) and we walked away with a wonderful resolve to be better and do better.  I am so grateful to know that there is a PROPHET on the earth today, who receives revelation for our day.   I had many favorite messages, but the one that struck me the most was on Gratitude by President Monson.  You can listen to it and all the messages HERE.
