Noah's Birthday

So much to catch up on.

Noah had his 7th birthday this past November and I'm just now getting pictures from the party. After the boys got home from school Noah had picked The Pad to celebrate with a birthday supper. Family and a few close friends came and we had a great time. Here are some pictures of Noah with each family that came.

Noah with Grandma and Grandpa!
These two mean trouble! LOL Noah and his Uncle Shawn.

This is Judy, Rod and Brian with Noah. Good close friends who we consider family.

Noah and Grandma and Grandpa Franke.

Noah and Brian are pretty good friends and they have been ever since we first met Brian.

Noah is only 7 and Brian is 40 but other than their height and age you'd think

they have been friends forever. They act a lot alike too!!! (couldn't resist Brian!)

Caleb was a ham as usual, so excited about the cupcakes.

Here is Noah with his council grove cousins and his Aunt Andrea. Those three

can come up with some crazy ideas!

Noah with the Strickenfingers. Noah and April have always just connected. He really likes

hanging out with her and thankfully she doesn't mind having him tag along.

And here is our crazy family of five. You would think it would be fairly easy to get our boys to smile since we take a lot of pictures but it really isn't. If we wanted goofy pictures all the time we would be set.

It seems like just yesterday we were bringing Noah home. Only once Jonathan said at the hospital ok, he can go home now! LOL Once he realized he was here to stay the two have been inseparable. Noah can make Jonathan laugh and giggle unlike anyone else. And thankfully Noah is a good sport about things. He lets caleb pick on him a lot and he takes it like a champ. He is very thoughtful and often lets his brothers go before him at just about everything. He is all about baseball, and football, and basketball, and kickball, and the power rangers, and spongebob (when I let him watch it), and iCarly, and of course KU and this year he has taken a liking to the Dallas Mavericks. I know they just won the NBA title but he is really interested in their history and the team, etc. He is also becoming a Green Bay Packers fan. How this happened I just don't know. We live in Chiefs territory, Heath is a die hard Broncos fan and always has been and I am a Bills fan. So who knows. But its cute to see him growing into this little boy and make decisions for himself. If you ask him he's going to be a Christian Rock Star/Pastor/basketball player! Who knows. Maybe by the time he is old enough professional and collegiate teams will have their own chaplains! Then he can be the Pastor who leads them in worship and travels with the team.
