Guess Who's Coming to Dinner!

On Monday night we had my parents over for dinner. I made spaghetti and meatballs, green beans and new potatoes, garlic bread, and salad. It was so yum! Aidan was a little pig! We had the best time visiting, and letting them love on the boys! I can't tell you the joy it brings to my heart to watch my parents with my children. I really don't even have words to describe it. As I sat and watched them my body was so full of joy, and tears came to my eyes! I know that sounds ridiculous, but I just love my parents so much and seeing them with my children is so great! In my eyes they are the best! I am so grateful and blessed that they were chosen as my parents! I can only hope that my children love, and respect me the way I do them! It was just a great Monday night, and I wanted to share!

He is Papa's boy!!!

I'm pretty sure this was right after Aidan told my dad that "a ha ha hat says vroom, vroom." ha ha hat=tractor

My mom would be a little upset if she knew I posted this picture, but I thought it was sweet!

Make Room For Daddy

Just thought I would most some pictures of James and his boys! He is such a great dad!

Love this picture!

Do you think he looks a little sleep deprived???

Silly boys!

So sweet!

Reading Aidan a bedtime story! His favorite Brown Bear, Brown Bear.
Sweet baby!

Someone Is 3 Months Old!!!

Parker you are 3 months old. You are still just as sweet as ever, and growing up too fast! Some of things you are doing at 3 months:
* you love to play "So Big"
* you laugh and smile all of the time
* when I sing you to sleep at night sometimes you sing back to me (maybe you are secretly telling me to hush)
* you are eating about every 3.5 hours and sleep for a 6 hour period at night!
* you like your swing more than you used to
* you are holding your head very steady
* you rolled over at your 2 month checkup but haven't done it since
* you are not a fan of tummy time at all
I'm sure there is lots more that you can do, but I just can't think right now. I love you so much Parker Lee Noblitt. You are the sweetest little guy. Well, it's a tie between you and the A's man! Love you!

No More Monkeys....

While I was at a bridal shower the other night, Aidan decided he would jump on the bed. Well you know the old adage no more monkeys... Well let's just say my little monkey fell into a box that was on the bed. He hit it right on the corner of his eye, and it looked terrible. Needless to say James called me to come home! We made a trip to the ER to be checked out and make sure that we didn't need a stitch. Everything was fine and no stitches were needed. We are so thankful he is okay. It was very close to his eyeball, and that could have been BAD! The child is two years old and has been to the ER more times than I have in my whole life! He is going to be the death of me! Like father like son!

SHOW US HOW YOU LIVE - New Years Resolutions/Goals

I decided I would try and start doing the Show Us How You Live on Fridays started by Kelly from Kelly's Korner. Love reading her blog. This week is New Year's Resolutions. So here we go...

1. To take time and enjoy every second with my boys. Sometimes I get so caught up on my to do list that I get a little gripy when it doesn't get accomplished. I need to learn to let the kitchen stay a mess, the laundry unfolded, etc. and just focus on more important things. That is so hard for me because I can't stand clutter.

2. To be a better mom/wife. I want to be a more loving wife this year. Sometimes I take for granted how much James does for our family. I am so blessed that he makes it a priority for me to stay home. He is the best father and husband that I could ask for. He loves me in spite of my flaws! I also want to take more time to enjoy my boys. Once again this kind of refers back to number 1. I need to learn to let the small things go every once in awhile!

3. To have a deeper relationship with God. We have definitely not been going to church like we should since Parker's arrival. I guess I could list all of my reasons, but honestly they are just excuses. God has blessed me with so much, and I feel like he tends to get what is left over of me at the end of the day! I really need to work on this. I also want to start doing daily devotionals. James and I used to do a couple's devotional before bed every night. I can so tell the difference in our marriage when we are doing that. We are a lot more patient with one another. We have started the Love Dare several times and haven't finished it. That is my goal this year. I would recommend it for any couple. It's great.

4. To be more healthy. I don't just want to say lose weight. I mean eat healthier, exercise, stop worrying as much, etc. I know lots of other moms will say the same thing that once you have babies your body kind of takes the back seat. You are just so busy taking care of your family! I guess that is the way it should be, but you also need to be healthy as well!

5. To learn to accept things that I cannot change! This is a big one for me. There have been lots of things that have happened in my life or that are happening that I just don't understand! I sometimes question God, and get angry. I am trying to learn that when life gives you lemons make lemonade! I often find myself dwelling on this bible verse: In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18

I hope and pray that I stick to my resolutions! Here's to a new year!!!

The Nutty Professor

He is definitely a nut! That is for sure! He keeps us laughing all the time! He's great!
