FIRSTS AND THE FAIR

I gave Noah his first haircut.  I had three different old ladies question his gender in two days...His hair was almost long enough for pigtails so i don't blame them! Notice the tear. ha ha ha he didn't like it much but he looks SO HANDSOME!!! 

First Pavlova since Nana and Grandpa moved to Australia! Cheers!

First real steps! On the beach- how fitting!!! My little beach bum...and speaking of little beach bums...

Noah got his first pair of Australian bathers!!!

His first job " off duty, LIFESAVER"

THE FAIR!!

We actually had the best time we have ever had at the Fair! We got there when it opened so it only cost us $4 to get in!

Noelle lassoed a bull! GREAT PIC huh!?!!!

Chloe did a great job too, but I think she had her eyes closed! yee haw!

Everyone was in such a good mood! Not a cranky one in the bunch!

Cheap ride! 25 cents and the girls thought it was hilarious!

Even though Fair food is Extremely expensive...we had the most delicious German sausage with onions and peppers! SO WORTH IT!

"AAAAW"

Dippin dots and mom and dad shared a funnel cake YUMMMMM~!

The girls really wanted to go on this slide, even Chloe with no hesitation.  When they got to the bottom poor Chloe was as white as a ghost and said " I DON'T EVER WANT TO DO THAT AGAIN!"

We topped off the day with a trip to our favorite place at our favorite time of day! There is nothing like the beach in late summer after dinner!

When we got home we parked out front and I found that our front steps are a great back drop for cute pictures!

LOVE THE GARDNER GANG! Ham, Cheese and Pickle!

NOAH*S 1st PAR-TAY!!!!!!

He's cute and sweet and so much fun.

Our little Noah-pants is turning one!

After 12 months of being

the baby around here,

It's time to invite you to celebrate

his fantastic first year!

The kids wait in anticipation at 7am as the bounce house arrives!



It was a beach theme party so I tried to get a bounce house that looked like a sand castle!



He was a little unsure at first...

With a little encouragement ...he warmed to it...

and then we couldn't get him out of there!!!

The birthday boy's sisters....suspiciously hanging around the cake before the party!!!

Me and Minnie-me

Let the party begin!

Noah blowing out his FIRST BIRTHDAY CANDLE!!!

He wasn't timid!!! He demolished an entire corner of his cake, calmly but still determined!

This is Noah-pants! four teeth, two bee-stings, two big sisters, turning one, and pushing flip-flops!!

...always pushing flip-flops! Happy birthday buddy boy!!!
