Happy 3rd Birthday Noah River


This little boy is growing up entirely to fast. My baby is simply not a baby anymore. He's more than a little cheeky these days and is almost always the instigator when it comes to picking fights with his older brother.  His logic on how he is always right is astounding and just brilliant. He's so funny that we often find ourselves hiding our faces to laugh before attempting to discipline him.
Holding his modified wallet and his 'birthday balloon' which he picked out and insisted on having.
Up up and away on a magical hot air balloon ride. These two take the best trips together.
Birthday snapper prepared by Daddy.
Happy party-goers.
Cake that I am still dreaming of.
An always ready Kai coming in for the assist.
Showing off his birthday wallet. This child is the easiest kid to buy for -when he gets an idea in his head he only wants that one thing.  His brother on the other hand....that one wants the world and then some.
We were walking after picking up his cake and he randomly fell to the ground and told me to take a picture. He said wait and then did this pose and then said "it was good right."
Keeping warm while watching Kai's soccer practice.
The ever so wise three-year-old.

Big Fish Little Fish

Trip to the aquarium with Dad. Kai pulling a serious Zoolander. 
This most likely is what all our park photos will now look like as it is impossible to pull them away from their new rides.
Perfecting his cool skater pose.

Happy New Year

Making their kakizome (New Year's calligraphy). Noah taking a moment to figure out his important message.
Very focused and intent on getting it just right.
Proudly displaying his work.
The finished products. Reading "?????" from Noah, " New " from Naoto  and "Kai" from Kai. 
Well done boys!
Lunch made by daddy.
Could literally eat this one up. 
Cheers to The Year of the Horse. I'm thinking this year is going to be one of the best ones yet!
