Noah memorized this last week. It was our bible verse from Tuesday School at church. We recited it a few times over breakfast the next day and he had it down. Never to young to memorize scripture. So fun to listen to him say it with such enthusiasm. If we could all keep that "child like faith", this earth would be better off for it.
This was the verse if you did not catch it all.
Mark 1:17 "Come follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."
So much for bye, bye nuke's.
Out with the old...

Saturday Morning we took Noah to Sesame Street Live at the Fargo Dome.
Noah was glued to the stage the minute it started. I think he enjoyed himself but he was starting to get tired after the intermission and the last half. He made it through to the end and sat so well during the show. Was really fun for all of us!
Noah's friend Ruger came to play last week and I caught some cute pictures of them.
Giving rides in the dump truck.
Being silly, don't worry I took the picture and then told them both not to stick those in their mouths.
Marty, Jeanette and Torunn came up last weekend so the boys could do some pheasant hunting. Jeanette, Torunn, Noah and I just hung around home. The Olson's came over Saturday night for supper. We managed to get a picture of all the kids together. Noah is a little out numbered by his female cousins!

I am on the Children's Ministry Team and we were all suppose to wear silly head gear.
Cory and Noah went around and took in all the games and did some Trunk or Treating in the parking lot at church. Noah liked filling his bag up with all the treats. 
Cory has been out hunting pheasant with Miley
and loving every minute of it.
Noah gets excited about the birds and Cory usually
gives him a tail feather to hang on to.
Marty came up a while back with his dog. Cory
and Marty have the same type of dog.
Here I am looking out our office window into our neighbor's yard.
Can you see the three deer? We have seen the same three deer off and on all summer and fall.
On this day I first saw them around 2:30pm and when I left the house around 5:00pm they were still in the backyard just hanging out.
This past Wednesday Fergus had a Moose sighting early in the morning. I knew nothing about it. But I woke up and heard our neighbor's dog barking and barking so I thought I would look out and see what he was barking at and I see this Huge Dark Deer...which so happened to really be a Moose. It was right by the swing set in this picture. I was so shocked, my mouth dropped and I could not move. My camera was right there but I didn't have enough time to react. The dog's barking scared it off pretty fast. But I was so excited to actually see a "wild moose" out my kitchen window.
So next I call Cory and the first thing he says is, "did you see the moose"? I am thinking "how did you know"?
He then told me he had heard on the radio that the police were asking for people to call if they saw this moose, that they were trying to push it back out of town so it would not cause any problems. So I called the police and saw them drive by but I didn't see the moose again. I was bummed, I didn't get a picture of it. I have always told Cory that if he ever had the chance to hunt a moose and actually kill one that he could hang it anywhere in my house. I think they are a cool looking animal. Weird. I know!

This was Summer of 2007.
Cory and Noah started doing this just a couple of nights ago and I thought it was cute!
It has been a week since we said bye, bye nuk-e.
It has not been easy. We went from lay me down to sleep and he sleeps.
To lay me down and scream to sleep and he sleeps, somewhat, but not long enough.
Early in the week he some how catapulted out of the crib, twice!
He had never tried to attempt that before. So now we have upgraded to the toddler bed.
Our good friends Jim and Cari said we could borrow there toddler bed and it happened to be
this very cool car! So we talked it up and got Noah excited about his new bed. But he thinks it is much cooler when he is not put to sleep in it!
So the dilemma is what do you do to keep a 2 year old in his bed? Give him his Nuk-e back for awhile? The crib is no longer an option due to the high percentage of being hurt. Shut the door and not let him come out of his room is not an option either because he can open his door.
So the challenge is still in front of us...what to do, what to do?!
Yes, last night was the night. We took away Noah's nuk-e.
He has only gotten it at nap and bedtime for quite sometime
but it still is not going to be easy.
I am not sure who it was harder on Noah, or Mommy?
I think that this means my "Baby", is not a baby anymore.
Makes me a little sad but it is time and the longer we wait
the harder it will be.
It just breaks my heart when he says to me, "Mommy nuk-e".
I just have ignored his pleads, although Cory took the other
approach and said he threw them in the garbage.
Which I find out by Noah telling me "nuk-e in the Garbage, Mommy."
Notice the pink sweat band?
Nevaeh left this at our house and Noah knew right where to put it!
