2nd Waterton trip

I'm throwing in a few random photos before we get to the Waterton trip.

 Like, COME ON! Man, I love this kid. 

 Not feeling well!

 Aiden likes to come over often to play! We like it when he does.

 We love our patio... it's great during the summer to have the kids go outside. They love standing on the chair and seeing whats going on in the neighborhood. Noah is juuuuust tall enough to see over the edge now. Ty often yells "hi kids!!!" when he sees the neighbor kids, or "hi grandma/grandpa" if he sees them outside (they live 3 doors down). We love this area we live in. We have this awesome little green space right across from our house and one house down there is a long green strip (the Lakeview green strip). 

So many things I love about this photo above. The green grass, Noah peeking his head over to see, Ty's smile and his Lion, and Noah's insane bedhead which never goes away (but I love it long on him and can't get the guts to cut his hair short). 

 Ty chatting with Noah. 

 The Baldersons invited us to come to Waterton with them to their cabin for a night. It was AWESOME. It was so cool to be able to sleep in Waterton while NOT being in a tent, as much as we love to camp. We got to borrow some bikes and a bike trailer and it was so fun to ride around Waterton, which I probably only have ever done as a kid.  

 About to head out for our bike ride.

 ^^Awesome Dad for not making me pull the boys. 

 Carter and his insanely gorgeous hair!

 Ty bugging Noah :)

 And Noah taking it like a champ (Ty's not actually sleeping)

 Feeling the coolllllddddd water. 

 Nate and Noah!

 Ty and his best bud (Dad)

 This view never gets old. (The mountains and lake, not me haha)

 The Baldersons good looking fam. :) 

 My adorable little family. I cannot get enough.  

 Michaels

 Enjoying his promised ice cream.  

And Ty is THRILLED. haha!!

Waterton, again.

This was our first trip to Waterton of the summer. Here are some photos of the trip with Cass and Aiden.

 Ty enjoying a nice bite of Nothing..... 

We went to this place just past Waterton on the way to Pincher Creek and they serve authentic Mexican Food. It was really good. I got the fish tacos and maybe it was just because I was starving but they were sooooo good. It was fun to do something different than the usual pizza or wieners in Waterton.

 Playing with sugar

 Cassandra ergo-ing it up with Aiden... we might be a little obsessed with our Ergo carriers. It was cold and windy by the lake but in the townsite, not cold or windy at all that day. 

 Noah enjoying the cool windy breeze. 

 Ty feeding his obsession with yogurt Tubes

 We love Waterton.

 Family photo by Cameron Falls.

 Aiden and Cass

 Ty really wanted a picture of him in front of the falls. I'm posting a lot of them because he is SMILING!

 LOVE my boy with glasses. (haha his legs ^^)

 Me and my man!! Everytime we come back to Waterton we talk about how we met and all our cool experience together as "friends" before we actually started dating. There are so many amazing memories in Waterton for us. 

It rained eventually so we kind of had to leave because there wasn't anywhere for us to hang out with babies for an extended period of time while it rained. Man we wish we had a cabin in Waterton. Here's a rainy photo from inside our car. 

Mothers day, Sean came to play, and ty sleeping

A few random photos....

 Me with my boys on Mothers Day... can't get a real good pic with these two. 

 Just having a drink of water instead of smiling for the camera... :) 

 Cousins Sean (Indie and Dan's son) came over for a few hours one day and the kids had fun playing together. 

 

 This was their favorite part. They had music going on in Noahs bedroom and they were dancing like little babies dance. It was awesome. 

Uhmmmmm, this never happens. He just fell asleep in my bed so I crawling in next to him and posed for a sleeping photo. haha. I love snuggling him when he sleeps because it never happens when he's awake. 

Noah's First Birthday

This is a little late, I know. I am finally getting to posting about Noah's 1st Birthday. We had family over for a little birthday party. Noah got plenty of attention... as you can tell in the photos. Everyone was wanting a picture with the sweet one year old. After I took photos of people with Noah, we printed mini little pictures off this instant polaroid printer and some they got to take them home.

 Noah with Grandma and Grandpa Smith  (above and below)

 Noah enjoyed the balloons!

 Noah and Auntie Cass

 Me and my baby boy. I just never want him to grow up. I wish he could stay this age forever. 

 Cousins (minus Aiden). It's hard to get a decent photo of all these kids. 

 Noah (eating his celery) and Auntie Jody

 We were getting some big smiles from this boy. 

 Nate and Noah. 2nd cousins, and 5 days apart... both have parents named Amie (Amy) and Michael... wearing chambray tops and leggings... how more alike can they get? Well good thing they have their very own looks hey? :)

 Also matching their shirts is Aiden and Noah. :)

 About to dig in

He sure did enjoy it. He took his time and relaxed while he ate his piece of chocolate birthday cake.

Michael and I feel so blessed to have Noah in our family. He sure adds a different dimension and so much happiness. Sometimes I think of how much happiness we would have missing out on if we hadn't added a second child to our family... It's insane how much we love him. I could just squish him forever.
