The Noehren's

This month Brian and I entered the modern world. We finally got iPhones, and having gone from our prepaid phones that are suuuuuper old it was a big step... And we love them!  I can honestly say my life is more organized (read - I don't forget as much) because of this amazing little device.   Here's some pictures I've taken from the phone.   Lunch with Haley and Grace Lunch with Grant and Avery This year we are trying out basketball for the first time, and it is great!  I think it is quite obvious that this is NOT the first time the other kids on their teams have played :)  That said, they are improving each practice and Haley even got her first basket in last Saturday's game!    Haley recieved an award for her good grades with others in her class.   We got cute new hats. Because of these fancy new phones, I took a pic of this backpack treasure for Brian and texted it to him in San Diego last we...

We had a fabulous Christmas!  Here is what we've been up to:   I made a new tree skirt on a whim. We went to Southern Lights, pet the animals and rode their cute tiny train.   We went to Haley's first orchestra concert.  Yes, they are playing violins like guitars.  Their orchestra teacher seems like a bright man, so I'm sure this will all make sense some day :)  Haley is on the back row with her gal pal Sammi Jo.  I know this is a random shot - but after the orchestra concert, people (mostly men) started helping to put the chairs up and Grant hopped right to it.  He was literally the only child helping.  If you look at the front you can see his blue and green coat and the two chairs he's dragging.  Hahaha!  I love that boy.  I guess we've been to enough church activities for him to get the drill of helping out with chairs. Haley mastered picking up Dusty and carrying him around. ...
