life with a toddler...

... or at least the toddler that lives here

trying to zip his new carhart jacket

(this jacket was given by my cousin marsha. we are soooooo thankful for such a nice, warm jacket this winter!)

This is how Noah looked all bundled up for church yesterday. It was 80 degrees on Saturday and then the high was 36 degrees yesterday. Crazy Texas weather!

playing alone in his room

Just recently Noah has begun playing in his room by himself. It helps out so much when I need to get a few things done. He requests one of his CDs (color songs or bible songs) and then wants to play with his train or paint set.

My nana gave Noah the cute slippers that adorn his feet. He calls them his "Elmo shoes" and they've been inseparable since he discovered them.

riding his new fire truck from grammie and pops

Noah loves playing with his new fire truck. He's currently obsessed with all things fire truck or police car. Basically anything that moves and makes noise. He had such a good time playing outside Saturday in the warm weather. We also went and fed the ducks and played at the park in that same fall-like temperature.

This is where we found "bapoo" the other day. We're not sure why Noah was storing him here. It's a good thing we didn't preheat the oven without looking inside! Lamb, anyone?

my boys watching football

Noah has also been loving football lately, which warms Clay's heart. They get in the floor and Noah says "ready, set, go" and then hikes the football. Watching them play football together is one of the funnest things about being a mom of 2 wonderful sons.
