Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

The Sunday after we got back from NH we had a little picnic in the park for Noah’s birthday.

The little dude is fast.

Recycled decorations.  Thanks again Mindy!

Noah’s new phone from his Nana and Opa.

Sleeping Savannah.

Dragonflies.

Savannah and her new haircut.

Michael, who is renting a room from Noah’s Nana and Opa.

Moonbeam Cafe, holler at it when you are up in Northern NH!!

Look at this!  Chicken, artichoke hearts, peppers, a little olive spread, and feta on garlic and herb bread!!  Everyday please!

Noah had a pancake.

After we walked across the street to check out an antique store.

Noah made friends with a butler.

Then we stopped to see Noah’s Nana at work.

Then a nap and some tickles from Grampa.

Rain, rain.. going away.

While Noah napped, Kate painted his new step stool.

This statue looked on.

Then a visit to my Uncle Wayne and Aunt Patty’s garden(s). This first garden where the berries grow.

Noah was drawn to the weed garden… as in, where the weeds are growing…

Kate got right into the vegetable garden. She called this “harvesting”…

I might have called it “robbing”…

or “stealing”.. or… “taking”…

My Nana helping out.

Noah running to see his Nana and Grampa.

This is the hornets nest on my Nana’s porch. She asked my dad to get rid of it when he got a minute. The hornets don’t “bother with her” so… No rush…

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THIS HORNETS NEST!!! IT’S 5 FEET FROM THE FRONT DOOR!!!!

You aren’t here to see hornets nest though, you are here to see Noah, who I can safely report was never near the hornets nest.

Kate, still going.

We also got to “harvest” some potatoes.

I’m starting to remember climbing into the front seat of my parents car and honking the horn to try and get them to leave too..

Bossy.

Saturday morning we packed it up and drove up to NH.  As you can imagine, driving with little dude (and his mom) requires a couple pit stops.

Luckily, about half way there is The Basketball Hall of Fame!!

After using the bathroom, Noah wanted in on some basketball games.

Instead I gave him 3 min. to try and dribble in the gift shop.  Not pictured, Noah being really bummed on me.

Lunch!  Brattleboro, VT.

Last stop, Milan, NH as ash was falling from the sky from Jasper and Doug’s bonfire.

Aunt Mindy made it up from Charlotte!

Noah was a little overwhelmed with everything being on fire, dudes with years of facial hair, and four-wheelers racing around..  Happy Birthday Son.

Uncle Gerry tossing some branches on the fire.

Doug.

Jasper…

Goodnight Noah.

There was a lot of wood to burn, and Jasper gets impatient.

A while later..

Thanks to everyone who texted, emailed, Tweeted, Facebooked, Four-squared(?), sky-wrote, smoke-signaled birthday wishes to Noah.  We are in NH and yesterday Noah had a nice, little party (in the rain) with his NH family.  Photos coming soon(ish).
