We took the kids up to Tallahassee this past weekend to go to the FSU game. We stayed with our friends, Andy and Kristen, and had so much fun visiting with them and their two boys.

The Tallahassee Museum/Zoo

This is Andy and Kristen and their two boys, Drew and Knox. They fearlessly allowed the five of us to crash at their house this past weekend. Thank you Andy and Kristen!

Snack Time

Football is fun...and funny! Actually, losing three times in a row to Wake Forest is kind of humorous, but I think Luke is laughing from the sugar high from all those dip'n dots.

Still smiling at half time

Even though it was a really late night, Kayden and Luke showed they were true fans (as long as the cotton candy and ice cream kept coming). :)

The ferocious beast

Of course, Andy and Kristen failed to mention the ferocious beast that lives in their backyard and attacks little children who go down the slide.

Talking Strategy

"You distract him while I go around the back and corner him."

Kayden gets him on the run

Victory!

Kayden and Drew were able to tame the beast, a.k.a Rex.

Smiling contest

And the winner is....Luke! Kayden and Drew's smiles both look a little forced...actually, Kayden looks just plain scary. :) Although, I think Noah was cutting off the circulation in her arm, so maybe we'll give her a break.

Kristen and I with the boys

Knox and Noah are exactly one week apart.

We all went to the beach this past weekend and Chris got to surf the last of the waves from Hurricane Ike.

All loaded up and heading to the beach

Tired, but happy

Noah had a nice little set-up at the beach, so he decided it was nap time.

Playing in the sand

Watching the Coast Guard Helicopter

Luke always spots the helicopters and airplanes first

Helping Daddy wax his board

Catchin' some waves from Hurricane Ike

This was the last of the swell from Ike.

"Growing like a weed"

At seven weeks old, Noah is wearing 6 month clothes!

Luke's favorite thing...tractor puzzles!

Go Team USA!

Noah has been helping us cheer for the Olympics (his favorite sports to watch are swimming and beach volleyball).

All Smiles

Those first smiles are the best!

Surfing with Daddy

I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but Kayden is riding on Chris' back. It's hard to say who enjoyed this more...Kayden or Chris. :)

Yeah! Luke is potty trained!

Hmmm...looks like somebody else I know.

I think Kayden is going to be the composer of the family. She makes up atleast one new song every day.

...thought some of you would enjoy seeing some pictures of Noah with his eyes open. Plus, it's very rare to catch a glimpse of him when he's not sleeping, crying, eating or pooping (actually these last two usually coincide).

Happy Birthday, Noah!

Noah Steven was born on Monday, June 30th at 12:00 pm. He weighed 9 lbs. 4 oz. and was 20 3/4 in. long. We are all doing great, and so far it has been a very smooth transition. Thanks to everyone for all the prayers!

...just before Noah was born.
