a band of gardners...

My little 5 year old!

Noelle is FIVE! Seriously where does the time go.  My little love had a bounce house party and man, oh man was she excited! She had her little friends over and they bounced and bounced and bounced....( the bounce house arrived at 7:30 in the morning, and they picked it up at 5:00pm, Noelle and Chloe were in it ALL day)

our family showed up in full force!



Noah fell asleep on Nanas face like that!




Even Aunt Tawny made it on her broken foot, we got to hang out for the rest of the day which was fun!



Let me tell you about Noelle. She is extreamly smart, so smart that I really don't know how I am going to keep up with her. She is thoughtful, today she took her journal and in her best handwriting figured out how to write "Noelle loves Chloe, Noah, Mom, Dad". She is always considerate and will give away her last treat. She is a great big sister and is always teaching Chloe and Noah. She teaches Chloe how to use the computer and Noah how to say Mama, Dada, Noelle and Chloe. She loves going to Church and reading the scriptures as a family.  She has a testimony that God lives and he is as real as you or me. Yesterday she said "Mommy I am trying to remember a spiderman song that the boys at my preschool sing....I think it is something like..he is something than all the rest".  Then I said.."well, maybe it says 'he is the best of all the rest'".  She replied  "Um no... I don't think it says that....because that is not true.  Heavenly Father is the best of all the rest"

She is growing up to be such a lovely young lady and I am so proud of her.

VALENTINES DAY!-
So I didn't take a picture of the beautiful watch
Abe got me or the flowers...but I did take a picture of the dinner I made. Lol! 

I roasted some ribs, and baby potatoes, I made macaroni and cheese from scratch...



and yes I even made Abe lobster tails! and if you are wondering 8 days later the smell is finally starting to fade, thank you.



I also got pictures of my favorite food eaters...(Noah couldn't join us in eating dinner, but he is also my favorite)



ooh...those are the flowers...I guess I did capture those..they were pink and red!
