Trip to Manhattan

We headed back this last weekend to Manhattan to visit Grandma and Grandpa Ubel as well as to celebrate the 90th Birthday of Uncle Bob!! We were able to do and see a few things while we were back home. Ted and I went to the K-State game with Aunt Jenny and Uncle Darren, just to pass some time of course. Low and behold, we found out some buddies were tailgating near us and we never even knew it. It was an extremely hot day and we were even luckier to have seats in the upper deck-- direct sun exposure!

Noah and Grandpa Ubel went to see the cows down at cousin Michael's house. It was Noah's first time to go around the farm. We didn't see much of a reaction out of him at this time. But we had a great time back home and enjoyed seeing all of our family and friends.

Worlds of FUN!?!?!?!?!

Some of our family wanted to take a trip to Worlds of Fun this weekend so we thought why not take Noah for his FIRST trip there. It was a day full of many new sights and sounds for little Noah. He handled most of the day like a little trooper but did become restless and cranky around meal times. Mom, Aunt Jessy and Val were the only ones brave enough to ride the roller coasters and even mom had to limit herself to certain ones. We did make it to Camp Snoopy which will be the future rides for Noah, so he was checkin things out. It was funny to see the miniature version of the detonator and how the little kids would scream when they fell what seemed like an inch....it was cute. We took a few pics of mom and Noah in front of the Fury of the Nile, Aunt Jessy and Noah with Snoopy and some of the Gang in Camp Snoopy. Aunt Jessy won Noah the Mickey Mouse, blowing everyone out of the water.....even little Haley. But she did it all for her little nephew.......how sweet!!!! The other neat thing that started at Worlds of Fun this weekend was the haunted houses. We didn't make it to any of them but they had everything decorated for Halloween along with smoke foggers at night to give it that spooky atmosphere- Haley and Brittany enjoyed running through all the smoke. It would be another thing to check out when Noah gets a little older.
As we were at Worlds of Fun, Dad went up to Lawrence to watch the Jayhawks win big!!! Go HAWKS!!!!

Trying something new...

I have decided to give this blogging thing a shot even though I have failed miserably at emailing friends and family often. So, as other friends have done, I felt this would be a great way to keep everyone posted on Noah's accomplishments in life. I tend to be the crazy photo taking mom and need to put them to good use so I hope that everyone will enjoy. We have already flown through 4 months of enjoyment with our little guy and today being his 4 month birthday!!! Therefore, the story will begin now on the new adventures of tiny little super guy.......ENJOY!!
