Happy Fourth Birthday!

This sweet girl turns 4 today.  What JOY she has brought into our lives and such a unique personality!  We are so grateful for you  little one!

This morning Lydia said she wanted us to wake her up early and say "surprise!"  So we did.  While she ate her requested breakfast casserole she talked with brother and sisssy.  She is having a playdate with a friend this afternoon and she was telling brother and sissy that since she is the birthday girl she wants "No, argue-vating" (Arguing + aggravating = argue-vating) when her friend comes over.  She is ever making her own way in the world and words to describe it. 

Happy Easter 2015

Happy Easter from the Noonan's!

Secrets

Now you know the secret to our Carrot-topness - teething on carrots :)

Puddin' Head

He's just too cute!

Hair

She also got her hair cut for Easter - so super cute

Horses

We spent her birthday afternoon at a girl from church's home arena - grooming, riding and learning about horses. Lucy had such a wonderful time and enjoyed her first experience on a horse. She wasn't afraid and enjoyed the time.

Happy 8th, sweet Lucy!

This sweet girl turned 8 last Saturday and we celebrated her all weekend. A party with friends after school with a little cake (made by Lucy), hopscotch, Mother May I? and girlie giggles. Then dinner with family at the restaurant of her choice - the Irish Pub!

Her present from us was an Easter hair cut, Movie with Mom on Sunday to see Cinderella and a Horse riding lesson/experience with a sweet girl from church. Lucy loved her presents and I'm so glad we got to enjoy them together.

Lucy made her own cake - Strawberry cake with real strawberries blended in and chocolate icing with chocolate covered strawberries on top!

Math competition

Samuel has been working hard with the fourth grade MATH competition team at his school to prepare for a first ever county-wide math competition.  He has improved in his Math skills through the process and enjoyed the challenge.  I like seeing him try new and difficult things and WORK hard.  So grateful for teachers who volunteer their time to help with these extra activities!
