This week has been Mother Son week for me and Noah.
Childhood friends Jaron, Noah, and Jared. And Jilyn.
Noah and Mrs. Corron his Boise piano teacher. She's awesome.
Noah's birthday was fun. I made him a cheesecake.
We dropped Ike off for Scout camp and then dropped Roland off at the airport and then went to FHE with the Barnes, Hopkins, and Munsons. We all have kids the same age and it was so fun to see them together and hang out with grownups. These grownups are particularly nice and so good looking! I wish I had taken a picture so you could see how beautiful my BFFs are.

All the HP movies are running into one movie for me. I annoyed Noah by asking him questions like, "Why is Dumbledor's hand creepy looking?" I read all the books but, like I said, they are all running together in my head.
We have enjoyed this week alone together. We went to Kirkham hot springs - such a cool place! I made Noah drive and the hairpin turns kinda freaked him out but he did great. Yesterday I was sitting on the front deck reading a book when Noah came out and said:
'Mom, you need to listen to this. I am learning it next.' He handed me his ipod and I listened to Rachmaninoff's 2nd concerto for 40 minutes. It was so beautiful i couldn't do anything but listen and look at the river, mountains and trees. So amazing. I would love to hear him play that with a full orchestra.
Today we ran down to Boise so Noah could play piano at my mom's church. Tomorrow he leaves for piano camp at Utah State.
Tomorrow Ike and Mom week starts.

Sounds like a great week.
So, when did Noah start taking lessons? I don't want a virtuoso like him, but I want my boys to be able to at least play all the hymns...is 3 years old too young to start (asks the Mom who can play all the hymns, 'er one-handed).
I had Brynn and mom week. She had her wisdom teeth pulled. It was not fun. She has had lots of complications. Hopefully, this week will be better.
What a wonderful week! I've read 5 HP's in the last 2 weeks, yes, they alllll runnnn together in my mind. :)
Hope Noah loves the USU campus, make sure he gets ice cream. (and calls my mom if he needs anything, she is a good Grandma type.) :)
What a great week. What lucky kids and a lucky mom, too!
I hope Noah has a great time at Piano Camp and that you and Ike have a blast!
ROBIN!!
I've missed your blog. I miss you!
It was good to read up on everything. The cabin sounds magical.
What a fun week with your piano boy!

Sounds very nice. While you visited with the Barnes, I stayed with and visited with the Barnes up in Spokane. Cindy and Dave Barnes, Dave's brother is Julie's husband I think. Julie, right?
Yes, that is right. Weird. I didn't realize the connection. What a small world this is.
When are you coming home? I miss you!!

That cheesecake looks YUMMY! We saw HP too and I wish I'd reread the book first. Have a great rest of the summer!
I was so proud of him! Noah is an all around great kid who is a lot of fun to have around. And he is very thoughtful of others, a rare quality among teenagers. We just love him!
