Bear Lake

Danny & I headed out to Utah for a week to spend time at the Noyce's time share at Bear Lake (on the border of Utah & Idaho).  We had a fabulous time watching General Conference over the weekend, and then the boys and Stephanie headed home for work and school.  It was pretty much a girl's week with me (& Danny), Kenneth's mom, Rachelle (with Aidan, Matty & Cami) and Chantale.  We had a great time playing games, having girl talk, going to the playground, pool & beach.  Here are some photos:

Danny became a pro at going up and down the stairs.  Here he is downstairs looking out the window

What so so interesting out there?  The guy painting the building next door.

Without fail, Danny fell asleep every time we went to the pool - usually in the hot tub

Danny LOVES the pool

Playing at the beach

Danny learned how to stand up!  Most likely from watching his older cousins.

He looks like he's pondering thoughtfully

We had a great time at Bear Lake, but I missed Kenneth like crazy!  It's fun to go on vacation, but you just can't beat coming home!

Danny's Day in the Park

There is a little play area by our apartment that has a little swing set and metal slide, and Danny absolutely loves it there!  We took him there one day after work, and he was having so much fun as Daddy would push him in the swing, and afterward, he showed off his awesome climbing skills as he climbed up the slide - time and time again!  He would climb to the top and then slide all the way back down.  He was so cute!  Anyway, here are just a few photos and a video.

Family Photos at Joshua Tree

We headed to Joshua Tree National Park on one of Kenneth's days off and spent a couple of hours taking some new family photos. We thought it was about time because our current photos are 8 months old! The scenery was beautiful and the weather was great. Here are some of our shots:

I love this photo!

Big News!

...we're having another baby!!  Baby Noyce is due April 25th and I am 13 weeks.  If this baby is at all like Danny, I've only got 4 1/2 months to go instead of the typical 6.   ;)  I'm not hoping for that though.  Here's hoping for a healthy, full-term baby this time around!  Anyway, I've been feeling pretty good thus far, and I am hoping it will stay that way now that I am out of the 1st trimester.  We'll definitely be posting photos along the way!

We're Back!

Well, we are back!  Well, I guess Kenneth has been here all along, but he doesn't really blog...but Danny & I are back from Utah.  Check back later this week for posts on:

1. Our park day
2. Week at Bear Lake
3. Joshua Tree

I hope you're ready for LOTS of photos!
