WHY!
Noah is at that three year old phase everyone hears so much about before they have children, where everything you say to him prompts the response - WHY - its very cute and funny at times. I have started to write down some or the things he says to us. Here is a classic Noah example,
Mummy - Noah please don't touch the oven its hot!
Noah - WHY?
Mummy - Because its the oven its hot, we have just cooked tea in it, its Hot!
Noah - Can i put my hand in and see? (He says as he is opening the oven door and sue starts a panicked sprint towards him)
Noah constantly tests and pushes the boundaries about every half hour at the moment, every thing we say he insists that the exact opposite is true.
Noah - Can i wee outside daddy? (Fred has a love of weeing in the drain outside, he always has since he realised his outlet for this was portable its novel for him i suppose)
Daddy - No, because its cold, raining and dark outside and you are only wearing your underpants you will freeze to death sweetheart.
Noah - I wont! its not raining and not dark.
Daddy - You will, now go and wee in the toilet like a good boy.
Noah - But i want to! (he says as he is toddling off half naked into the garden in the rain, daddy in hot pursuit to bring him back in)
Mummy - Noah please don't touch the oven its hot!
Noah - WHY?
Mummy - Because its the oven its hot, we have just cooked tea in it, its Hot!
Noah - Can i put my hand in and see? (He says as he is opening the oven door and sue starts a panicked sprint towards him)

Going Going Gone!!!
These pictures were taken when Sue was pregnant with Fred. I was tidying up my picture files and came across this trio, God only knows why she had been making cakes I think it was nest feathering or something.
GOING
GOING
GONE.
Anyone know how to play fluffy bunnies (Pam)Oh and i have found some pictures of Sue's swollen feet crammed into a pair of heals which she wont let me post, Genuinly hilarious if not slightly wrong. Please campaign to let this happen!

Photo post
Hello, well there isn't much news here this week with us, so i thought a picture post was in order, i have now got a file full of good pics of fred sue and me to post regularly, so here are five pics from recent months. I have a few video's i would like to post but they were recorded on my mobile phone and are in some bizarre file format so when i figure a wa to convert them i will post them.
Noah doing what he does best, climbing, this was taken in grizdale forest where they have the mother of all climbing frames he loved it (so did i as well)
This was taken on the beach at Arnside near Grandma's caravan He did it all himself, i tell you he is a genius in the making.
This was Noah and Sue at the dent folk festival this summer,
Noah and he best friend Henry in our garden.

Wedding of the year
On Saturday my good friend from work Tony married Graham at the Clifton hotel in Southport. It was a fabulous day and fantastic to see two such lovely people tie the knot. The ceremony and vows were wonderful and they had arranged a wonderful reception with a band, cabaret and disco, the biggest chocolate fondue you have ever seen in your life and a roulette table for us all to try our hand at. We all had a cracking night to remember. Here are a couple of snaps courtesy of Rachal (cheers) as i for got my camera. congratulations.
Signing the register
A well deserved drink just after the ceremony, I think Tony needed it as i have never seen anyone as nervous in their life
Some hours later.

halloween and bonfire night
Hello, two posts in three days how long do you reckon before i start slipping again to once a month posts? Well we have a lot to show given that i have not posted in months. Over the last few days we have had halloween and early bonfire night. Noah dressed as a devil which suited him down to the ground, he went trick or treating to our neighbours and to his uncle Michaels house over the road. He got really exited when people put sweets into his little pot. here are some pictures.
This one of noah is cute i love the way he is rolling his eyes it accentuates the horns he would only wear them for a bit though we have found that he doesnt really like to have weird stuff on his head.
Tonight we have been to grandmas house for a bonfire and food which was lovely, no fireworks as the scare Noah and her donkeys so we all sat around and had sparklers and ate parched peas (renowned for there wind making ability, Sue was in her element after that)
This pic with the circles are were done by me playing about with slow shutter speeds on my camera and getting Michael to make frantic circles with his sparkler, quite cool though eh.
Noah and His cousins Cameron (left) and Max(right) All the boys helped build the fire.
Noah with his grandad watching the fire.

Back after four months
Hello, Well i thought it was about time i posted something on our blog as it has been about four months since the last one. I have succumbed to guilt trips and bollocking's by Pam who somehow has the superhuman ability to blog 3 times a week.(good on ya though Pam we do love it).
I don't know what it is about writing these things i just find it difficult, I have come to the conclusion that just writing what you think is the best policy, the reason i fell out with blogging was that it took me too bloody long because i kept reading everything back and changing bits and so on. I suppose also when you immortalize something into the public domain you feel you should think about what your saying which isn't normally my policy as you probably know, so an element of self conciousness comes into the deal too. Another trouble i have had with writing these posts is that because only our good friends Pam and Craig in the US and my mum and dad really have read the blog up to now and no bugger bothered to get a google password in order to look at it, i ended up writing the blog as more of a personal message to the people i knew read it which isn't the point really because we have email for that don't we. So iam going to de restrict access to the blog and re invite all our friends and family to view it again.
Anyway this post every day for a month thing people are doing has made me think i should probably write more and it gives an opportunity to share experiences of life with our wonderful boy Noah through stories, pictures or video. So much time has elapsed since the last blog, you have missed a lot of what's been going on with us, so as well as current stuff going on with us i will keep going back to old pics, videos and the stories that go with them from time to time. Noah is growing and changing so rapidly there is a lot to include past and present so keep with me and i hope none of it gets boring because we all know what a nightmare parents are like when they get going on how wonderful there children are.
So enough of my ramblings, here are a couple of recent pictures.
This picture was taken at the Cambridge folk festival which we took Noah to for his 3rd festival. on our camp site there were entertainers and musicians, most of it geared up to kids which was fab, one day Noah had his face painted as a tiger which looked really cool, he was running around the camp site pretending to be a tiger and "roaring" at strangers. More on Cambridge to come, including video footage of him nicking my can of beer and necking it ( i hope social services dont read these things)
This photo was taken about a month ago when we were on holiday to the Lakes. We took fred off to the south lakes zoo for the day and amongst other thigs there was a penguin enclosure where the scuttle around your feet, i must have smelled of fish or something because they pecked me to death, Noah on the other hand got on great with them and i snapped this great picture which iam really proud of because you couldnt ever have posed for it. Oh and i later found out from a guide that the little buggers were in season and trying to mate with me. Lovely.
This litte pixie was photographed during a trip to a one day folk festival in dent (lake district) there was a stall with all manor of weird and wonderful hats and of course Noah had to try most of them on. We also bought him his first guitar here as a treat its a green ukulele, i will post a pic of him playing it sometime.
Thats it for now, i have already done what i said i wouldnt do and spend hours over this. will post again soon, and i look foreward to seeing some new dots on the clustrmap. Ta Ta
Oh a P.s - I have added a widget from one of my fav sites - last.fm - its a radio station where the music is compiled from people's similar tastes, i have nominated the band Shins, the site does the rest playing you music you already love based on your taste and music you dont know you love yet, fabulous idea eh. oh if you dont like the current track just flick to the next, if you like it leave the page running in the background of your browser it never stops. Ta ta.
