The Noble Family: 2009

Maggie turned 5 years old on July 25th! I can't believe how fast the last 5 years have gone. In one month she will be on her way to Kindergarten. We are so very proud of the sweet, caring, and strong willed daughter that we have been blessed with. She brings us much joy.

We celebrated Maggie's birthday with some friends and family. We had a fun carnival with games and prizes. It looked like everyone had a great time.

Happy Birthday Maggie!!

This is when the horn blowing got out of control

The birthday party was a success. Here are the kids from left to right: Lucas, Ben, Dane, Miles, Maggie, Jackson, Brogan and Sofi and Jessie in the back!

My family have planned an annual trip for the Fourth of July holiday. Many years we have traveled to Sandpoint Idaho to enjoy our vacation. What don't you like about sitting on the water, relaxing and enjoying life. It is beautiful there. My Mother and Father in law have been so gracious to let us come over and enjoy time at there home. Thank you so much.

Some of the things we did this year on vacation were:

Met a new family member...My dad's cousin Trudy (the owner's of the Sandpoint theater where my mother in law manages...small world). We found her through family history that she has already done.

Maggie water skiing for the first time. She got up after three times. Poor girl drank a little water though.

Fourth of July boat parade, fireworks at Sandpoint beach, and Fireworks at the cabin.

Meeting our new niece, Adalynn.

A visit to the ER because I thought I had a blood clot in my leg.

The kiddos

Boyd being cute

One of Boyd's favorite things to do is walk around with things in his mouth. A natural born
multi-tasker. These are the favorite toys for the babies. They love getting into Grandma Noble's kitchen utensils.

Deanna jumped off to calm Maggie down after they had to circle around to get her. She was a little upset that she was in the water with no one around her.

Going for a ride with Dad!! She felt a lot better after a ride on the Wave Runner.

Spending some time on the BEACH

One great thing about being on the lake is swimming. We all love to swim the kids were in the water as much as they could be!!

Who needs a real sword and shield when you can use a wooden spoon and frisbee?

These are a few of my favorite photos of the kids. I can't move them on my blog but they were around July 4th! We had a lot of fun swimming around on the lake. All the kids love the water this year!
