Major Milestone

da da da da..... My daughter in pig tails!
Hooray the day has finally come.
Look at that, two definate pony tails!!

Always running behind

I wake up every day to the exact same thing-My middle son Blake always wakes up at 7 every morning. In my opinion way to early. I feel anything before 8 is an abomination in my sight. He comes in and the first thing that he says is "mom I'm hungry." Then I say "Blake you are always hungry." So I put him off as long as I can, until he gets the clever idea that a sure fire way that I will get out of bed is if Brynlee is awake. So I hear Brynlee cry and hear the scurrying little feet run away. I say " Blake did you wake Brynlee up?" He giggles and says "Mom she was already awake." I finally get out of bed..... My oldest son Caden has school at 8:25, he and I have a hard time waking up so we get going at oh 8:07. I never have him do his reading the night before because I'm the hugest procrastinator on the planet. So while I'm dressing him I'm asking him "where is your book Caden, why haven't you read it yet." ( this is to divert the blame from me so I don't feel like such a crappy mom) So while he is asking me if he can have some great breakfast like eggs or french toast, I'm saying " Caden we don't have time, your late, you slept in, you need to read and brush your teeth." Then he says "mom, I'm hungry." So I say fine" (like it is such an inconvenience for him to eat) I grab the fastest thing that he can eat in the car. ( usually a granola bar or yogurt) Then I continue to say things like "Caden you move like a turtle" and "my grandma moves faster than you." Well then we finally get into the car, sometimes I have him read his book on the way to school if we are really late. We pull up with a screech then I tell him to give me a quick kiss, I tell him to run, maybe you can beat your teacher into your classroom and not get another tardy. ( they are sending me home notes now telling me my child is always late) Well that about sums up my crazy mornings of making my sweet children feel loved and cherished like there the most important thing to me. You know I just like to send them off to school with a little extra boost at the beginning of the day to really set there day off right! I know, I know, you want to nominate me for mother of the year. Well just wait cause this is just the first installment to my 3 part series of the wonderful mom that I am......

The fun continues

Here are some more pictures from our fabulous trip!!
If your wondering....Yes that is a lego family we are standing by. Ha Ha Caden is sitting on the lego dad's shoulders.

San Diego

We just fed some dolphins!

Cute Little Bugs!!

There's Shamu!

We love the waves

We did it we went to San Diego with our three kids. Or shall I say I did it. I survived the treacherous drive of 13 hrs. It is like the most horrible thing to be stuck in a car with your 7 then 4 then 8month old children. I thought I might die, but alas I didn't as you can see by the pictures we did make it some how in one piece. It was worth the drive we had so much fun with our kids. It will go down as one of the greatest vacations we have ever had!!

Easter Fun

Ahhh,Easter such a great day. We had a wonderful Easter this year, full of eggs, toys and new sunday outfits. We also sat down as a family and talked about our savior Jesus Christ. I love that my children are old enough now that they are eager to learn about the real meaning of Easter.

Cousins

hhhhBrynlee has a cousin named Carter, they are so cute together!! They are 9 months apart, I'm so happy that they are such good friends. Carter is so cute cause he always acts like he is so much bigger than Brynlee. Cousins are the greatest, there like siblings that you don't have to be around all the time.
These are kinda long but I couldn't decide which one was cuter so I put them both on. No one was injured in the making of this video!! ha ha

1 year Anniversary

This is my sweet mom and my little bro., Elder Humphreys, he is serving his mission in Memphis, Tennessee right now. He is really enjoying it, he is bringing lots of sheep to the fold. My mom is serving her mission in heaven for now. I know that she is being a great missionary and bringing forth a great work in heaven. I miss you mom!!! She has been gone from this earthly experience for a year now. It seems to long and yet like yesterday that I was holding her close to me. I don't understand how people can be gone from us, people we love and cherish. It brings tears to my eyes that I haven't seen or talked to her for a whole year. (I'll put more pictures up soon of me and my mom, just trying to figure it out. How do you get pictures from the scanner to the computer ahhhh!)

Crazy Blake

I haven't done many posts on Blake. So I thought I needed to pay tribute to just him! He is a passionate little guy. When he loves me he really loves me. He squeezes me so hard when he hugs me, he abouts pops my head off. Then When he is mad at me he is passionately mad at me or Ben or Caden... depends on who his victim is!
He is so as cute as the day is long. Everywhere I go people tell me what a lady killer he is going to be when he grows up. I agree, I'm very afraid for those days to come!
He's a daddies boy right now. He always wakes up early early just to spend time with Ben in the morning before he has to dash off to work.
Where would our family be with out our little spirited boy. He always brings lots of excitment into the Noble household that is for sure!

Brynlee's Crawling

She is definitely on the move. She started to really start crawling a few days ago. Its very exciting. She is very proud of her self.
Blake can't believe his baby sister is moving around so much. He is trying to keep her out of trouble!!
Brynlee is a silly girl. She has the funniest faces.
Oh-oh she is up to no good!
Yep, she succeeded, snacking on a little victoria secret bubble bath! Yummy!

I Don't Want To Move On!!!

It has been very difficult since my mom passed away almost a year ago, come March 12. We are all having to go about our days. We try to make since of the fact that there is a person missing from our lives. Every morning I wake up and I take a deep breath, I blow out all my air hoping that the pit in my stomach will go away, if I just breath deep enough maybe it will leave?..... it doesn't work. Everyday for almost a year I have felt crazy, I am running around with no direction, I am searching, searching for someone, something a feeling a spiritual experience to make all of this feel better.... I am still looking, there really isn't much that makes it feel better. People say that with time it will feel better, they say "I know you don't want to hear this but it really does get better with time." My family is having to pull up our boot straps and try to move on past the things that are so vivid in our minds about our mom and wife. I keep taking care of my children and husband, doing laundry, changing diapers, doing dishes, fixing dinner. I want to throw everything down and run. It feels like this would help, to run away from my responsibilities, I have a brain though and know that this would only make things worse and I think that my children and Ben are the only reason I'm still sain really.

So in the spirit of moving on my Dad is getting married in a week. This is so hard to think about, and know that my Dad unfortunately has to move on for his own well-being. Its one of those things that must be. I wish my mom hadn't passed away and that all these events had not been set into motion but she did. In trying to pick up the peices and "pull up our boot straps" My brave dad is moving on. What an amazing man, he has done so well in picking up the pieces of his devistated life. He is still very sad and cries often to me, of the pain he feels. He knows that getting married is the right thing to do. He has found a lady in st. george names Teressa, she is nice and cares for people, it will take time but in time I hope we can be good friends.

We all have to do things that are hard....... I pray daily, I'm trying to feel the peaceful feelings of the holy spirit. The Lord is on my side and I know that I don't have to pull up my boot straps alone he is there ever so quietly helping me and guiding me.
