Birthday at Disneyland

Noah's Party at Disneyland. Thanks Mama and Kenzie for coming to celebrate !
I love the shirt, mom!



We love the Carnation Cafe which is on Main Street.





Chris and Caleb ready to eat I guess, they both have their mouths open! And Henry loves to chew on his hand, he is so cute.



The Birthday Boy blowing out the candle on his cake. The cake comes in this pirate's chest you can buy for $15.99. He was pretty excited when they brought it out.




Caleb took a picture of Mama. You can't see, but 2 tables behind us we had Aaron B. from Suburban Legends celebrating with us (he just didn't know it)!!





Here is a picture of Chris and Henry this morning before we left. They look a lot alike!
We had a fun time. Now next week we will be celebrating Natalie's Birthday! Can't wait!!

Happy Birthday Noah!

Our precious Noah Manuel Brod was born Oct. 9, 2006. Time has gone by too fast! Our boy is 3 years old today.



Katie with Noah back in the day. She was looking good as usual!


These pictures are not in order, I messed up



Such a happy boy.




Noah's first Christmas





And more pictures of Noah that I love.


















































We are so lucky to have this boy in our family. He's been a joy these 3 years and I'm so happy to be his mother. We love you Noah, Happy Birthday!!!

Catching up

Henry took pictures just before turning 3 mos. He didn't do to well which was weird because he is always so good. This is the best picture we got. Good enough!


We went to the L.A. County Fair quite a lot. We always have fun at the fair and Noah really loved the Farris Wheel. This is him and Daddy just getting off.


Aunt Nanny and Henry



Nanny and Brooklyn in the Dinosaur Exhibit. Caleb was so scared in here one of us had to wait outside with him every time.








See you next year Fair!!





Now we are getting ready for Halloween and the kids can't wait for the Trick-or-treat party at California Adventure.






Katie bought the kids these Halloween shirts! Thanks Katie.

A tent and a Birthday!

Chris pitched a tent this weekend in our living room for a camp out. The boys were excited!






But in the end it was just Daddy and Caleb who actually slept there. Noah had to be in his crib and Baby with me of course




I just had a birthday, shout hooray! I am now 30 years old. So of course I had to get to Disneyland for my birthday money, thank you Disneyland! So here are some things that were purchased for my birthday.





A Wall-e plush toy






A pirates knife






Keys for decoration




And chocolate coins. Those are pretty great gifts don't you think!






Yum Yum





And here we are on Small World







which Henry loved, he was singing along in there, it was so cute!

My baby's in a Bumbo

Henry is 10 wks old 13 lbs and is doing great. Even though he has a bit of a cold right now(thanks to kisses from brother Noah) he is still a pleasantly happy baby.


We just purchased a Bumbo and he loves it. I wish I knew about this for the first 2 kids. He feels like a big boy and a part of the action.


Caleb is such a good helper to me and loves this baby so much. He didn't care much for baby Noah, being that Caleb was a baby himself (the first child). I love to watch now how Caleb has become a loving brother.


Noah has come a long way in these 10 weeks with baby here. He gave up his bottle, doesn't carry around his blankie anymore and everywhere we go, potty trained, talking more (being able to understand what he's saying), being gentle when touching and playing with baby Henry, and playing nicely with older brother Caleb, most of the time. There are somethings we have to work on, like when Caleb gets Noah mad. There is no stoping Noah we call him our bull, he will go at Caleb and take him down. Caleb has now learned to share more and ask Noah if he can play with one of his toys because of this.



These 3 boys are the best. Chris and I love them so much! I feel so lucky to have them!!




Caleb explains things to Noah

Caleb: Don't play with candles Bubby because the house will catch on fire!

Noah: Oh fire, O.K.

Later on today

Caleb: Stop opening up the fridge Bubby because the house will catch on ice!

Noah: Oh ice, O.K.
