Keeping up with the Nielsen's
Well today Rick decided he wanted to make a cake, so he got out the ingredients and started mixing it up.
Noah thought it was pretty funny!!! He was sitting his his chair finishing his lunch and would just start laughing. I think he thought it was pretty funny that Daddy was baking!!
The finished product!!! Rick even decorated the cake…he loves my Mom’s frosting, so he whipped up a batch! And he also found some Sponge Bob decorations to add too.
On Friday night, the whole Krull family got together for some family bonding. We grilled some brats and had dinner together and just hung out. Grandma Janice gave all four boys a new pajamas, so of course, we had to put them on!! Then Kahle and Jack started jumping on the bed, so we wanted to get a picture, which then led to trying to get a picture of all four boys in their new pajamas, which then led to trying to get Grandma in the picture with the boys. This is the best picture we got…other pictures had a hand trying to give one of the boys a treat, or someone was crying or someone was jumping on the bed. I guess boys will be boys!!
On Saturday morning, Mom had everyone over for breakfast. It ended up being a bribery breakfast!!! After we ate, Mom thought it would be nice if we all would rake her yard and the neighbors yard. Mom’s neighbors are so good to her and mow her yard and remove snow, so it was the least we could do for them! With all of us chipping in, it didn’t take long at all to do the two yards. We finished just in time for lunch, so Mom ordered Pizza Ranch!!! It was so nice outside that we set up some chairs in the garage and ate outside!!! We even brought Noah outside to eat!!
Now that Noah is rolling all over the place, he gets in the weirdest places. Tonight we went to Reid’s house and had grilled some hamburgers. Noah was playing on the floor one minute and the next he was under the table. We’re not quite sure how he got under the table, still facing out – wish we would have seen how he did it!!
Earlier today, Rick put Noah down in the middle of Mom’s living room and when he came back, Noah was gone! He had rolled between the two couches. When he can start crawling and running around, I think we are going to have our hands full!!
We really do have some toys that Noah can play with, but he seems to like to play with anything that he can reach – shoes, straws or socks!! We got back from a walk yesterday and I took off Noah’s shoes and laid them off to the side. A little later he had rolled over to them and was chewing on them! Then last night we went to the Pizza Ranch (yes, this is the 3rd time I’ve had Pizza Ranch since I’ve been in George!!!) to meet Jim, Doreen and Katie and Noah liked playing with his socks and a straw! Every once in a while he would get the straw a little far back in his mouth, but it didn’t stop him, he just kept chewing on it!
About 3 o’clock last night, Noah started crying, so I got up to go check on him. He had one leg all the way through one hole and the other leg was through a different hole and he was trying to roll over – no wonder he was crying, he doesn’t bend that way!! I thought I would go grab my camera, but being the good mom I am, I left the camera go and helped him out of his jam. But today during his nap, I checked up on him and he just had his little feet hanging off the edge, so I thought I’d take a picture of this instead! Not quite as funny, but it will do!!
