Noah

I realized that Noah wasn't in any of the pictures I just posted. So.....here are two of him. Julie was taking pictures and caught me giving him a kiss. Our sweet blue-eyed Noah James!

First "ponytail"

Us girls, Sunday morning before church.We put Belle's hair up in her first "ponytail". I am not sure what to really call it! :)

The ponytail lasted about 1 1/2 hours. Not to bad I thought!

My poser

This is Julie, yesterday morning before church. She looked so cute I took her picture, which turned into a photo shoot. LOL!!! Posing, posing, posing!!!

Isabella is 1!

Our little Isabella is one and we have been soo blessed to have her in our little family! She is so independent and funny! She talks so much! It amazes me how she just melted right into our family as if she had been here all along! Thank you Lord, for our little Isabella!

The morning started off with bagels and cream cheese....needless to say, she enjoyed it!

The birthday girl in her birthday outfit. I just love her sooo much!

Party time! She was so cute with the cake! At first she just put her face in it and then she decided she needed a fork.
After some were worried about the real fork, she got a plastic one and enjoyed her cake immensly that her daddy made for her!

Her Grandma Smith got her these cute shoes!!!!

Relaxing after the hard work of opening presents!

Belle and Aunt Shyla

Yellowstone...again.

To end the fun of Toby's family visiting, we went to Yellowstone. It was nice. The kids made us laugh the whole drive. As we were watching some buffalo, Gabe asked Toby,"Dad, why is that buffalo smoking?" To looked and then told him it was peeing.

Boy, is it beautiful there!

I didn't mean to cut Toby's head off, but I was mainly trying to get all the kids in the picture. :)
Gabe


Jules

Noah
And of course, Belle!
Stepping on this grate was a big deal. At first they thought they would fall through.

The adults of the group. :D
Grandma and Papa got us great rooms at a hotel with a 100ft slide in the pool. They swam and crashed out!
That morning we walked around West Yellowstone and each bought something. Julie put this on and got quite a few smiles from passer-bys. They have cool buffalo's all over and we took pictures at everyone. I will spare you all of them, but thought a few were particularly cute.
We had such a good time. We are going to go back once school starts so that it will be less crowded and we want to see more animals.

On the drive back, poor Noah was pudering up a storm. Julie who sits behind him didn't realize this and called up to Toby," Hey, Dad, can you turn on the good air." I thank the Lord for a family who makes me laugh!

Gabe's lost his first tooth!

Our sweet Gabriel lost his first tooth on Saturday. I had no idea any of his teeth were loose! He is very proud of it!

The tooth fairy came and gave him two dollars for his tooth! Toby and I were impressed since we only got a quarter for our teeth. When Gabe told Davy about it Davy told him the tooth fairy wasn't real. Gabe looked at him and said, "Well, I have two dollars from her." When Davy heard this he told Gabe, okay, okay, she's real. :)

Riot Zone

So...Toby's had a whole bunch of his family come down and it was a blast! I was sooo bad about remembering my camera and unfortunately have very few pictures of the past week. One day I remembered it we went to Riot Zone. Thank you Grandma and Papa Smith. It was so much fun. They have Go Karts for 4 and up, jumping area, and lots of other fun! Here is my sweet Noah happy as usual!Belle who is rarely without this pretty smile!

These two are quite the buds. They are always playing together and laughing.
The first place Gabe and Julie ran was to the Go-Karts. We were laughing so hard it was soo cute! Gabe was a pro from the get go. Julie....well at first she hit the wall every 5 feet. By the end of her first drive she was doing good, by the end of the night she was passing people and nobody was passing her. She had 3 pads behind her so she could reach the pedals and could hardly see over the steering wheel, but that didn't stop her!

They have these little paddle boats and Gabe had a blast on them.
Noah liked them too.
In the jumping area we all had fun!
Here is Belle with Cheyenne, they are about 6 months apart in age and were really cute together!

Here is my Gabster. He took passing people VERY seriously!
Next, they climbed a little.
They both did so good!
Julie did good, but got frustrated because she was to light to go up higher than her daddy could reach her. The weight on the other side weighed more than her so she wouldn't just come down we had to pull her.
Last, but not least, we played a game of miniature golf. Well, 9 holes of it. Toby and I laughed so hard. Gabe was very proper about it and did it right. Julie took the ball to about a foot from the hole. Dropped it and hit it in. Noah would hit it once from the starting point, pick it up and go and drop it in the hole. Belle was our cheerleader and Mom and Dad just tried to keep up.
