Happy Halloween

Halloween was a exciting time for Noah. He was looking forward to being a fire fighter for at least 2 months. Noah went to the Anoka Parade and hung out with one of his (many) girlfriends Jordan. Noah so impressed the fireman at the parade that one of them gave him the shirt off his back.....a t shirt to celebrate the Halloween capital of the world.....Anoka, Minnesota!!!!

My Gal "Friday"

My Gal "Friday"

Thanks to Noah's Gal Friday as she comes to the House every Friday at 9:22am as efficient as a London underground train. she gives Noah and Kristin a lift and at times we would be lost without her.

Fall fun #1

What a beautiful state we live in! Fall up here is a time to be celebrated. Farms are in full swing and Noah gets a chance to visit them. He enjoys the animals he sees: Llamas, cows sheep pigs. all of them. he loves to get out and go to a Farm. That gene in him is firmly attached. he is a reflection of some of his celebration of the fall farm.

Fall Fun #2

What a wonderful fall we had despite the cold and wet temperatures; Noah was able to get out and enjoy the best of it. Noah played in the yard with a big pile of leaves that seems to get bigger every year. He went to a variety of local farms that "open" up this time a year to celebrate the fall harvest. He played outside for long hours when ever the weather let him.

A early fall snow storm

Early in the fall A early snow Storm dumped 4 inches of the white stuff to get Noah ready for winter. Noah made a snow man and enjoyed having it in the yard. His name was frosty.

A trip to the dentist.

Noah actually like the dentist. he remembers the experience and the toys that thy have. He FLIRTS with the hygienists and asks that they give him water to drink from the special squirter. He really hams it up. It does not matter......he gets his teeth cleaned and he is happy with no fuss!

Daddy got a deer

Noah has been casually interested in Daddy's Deer Hunting. Noah has wished Daddy Luck when he went hunting and let Daddy know his preference as to the fact that Noah wants daddy only to shoot deer with antlers. "Daddy I don't want you to shoot any Mommy deer" is something that he often states.

So Daddy brought home a deer from a successful archery hunt. Noah was very interested in the whole process of skinning the deer, butchering and processing. Noah watched the whole process asking questions as only a 4 year old can. When we were done Noah asked where the seer was. Daddy took Noah to the Freezer. Oh he said "Now he is our dinner!" he has been asking for venison for dinner for a few days now.

Wind Storm on the North Shore.

A wild Wind storm Hit the Cabin with sustained winds of 66 mph for 14 hours. The local area was quite damaged and many old and tall trees were lost. The cabin was hit hard. This provided an adventure for Noah with heavy equipment and power company trucks to watch. Daddy worked hard but was able to clean up the cabin some.

A wonderful trip to uncle Tom's Cabin

Steven remembers spending majical summer days at this cabin. What a wonderful experience to share with Noah. Noah enjoyed the visit and it was a wonderful time. Boat rides, hiking trips and great food.

Minnesota State Fair!!

Noah enjoyed the Minnesota get together! Rides, Food, John Deere Tractors, and Friends.

The Nowthen Threshing Show

The Nowthen threshing show is one of Noah's favorite place to see! It is a conglomeration of old time county fair, flea market, tractor show and pioneer days. What a great show. Noah gets to taste the flavors of oldtyme lemonade and Kettle Korn, Roasted corn on the cob or a corn dog.

He can hear the sounds of the steam engines, johnny poppers, tractors, and diesel engines

Smell the wood/coal burning tractors as well as the diesel and gas powered tractors as wells whiffs of "fair food"

Today he was here for 6 hours!...we went home for a nap after being fully stimulated and then back for the tractor pull.

Enjoy the photos
