Andrew's Graduation Celebration

2010-07-06T20:21:00.000-07:00

We spent an evening in Chicago to celebrate Andrew graduating from highschool(and because he could be one of the newest Abercrombie models...seriously). We went to Quartino's, The Signature Room and Berry Chill!

Lemonade Stand

2010-07-06T20:19:00.001-07:00

I spent a fun-filled afternoon with Breanna, Andrew, Matthew and Copa selling lemonade. I created all sorts of ways to get a car's attention.

Just a few sports I've played this summer

2010-07-06T20:05:00.000-07:00

Badminton with Jacob
Soccer(you should see my goal celebrations)

Lake Ellyn fishing derby with daddy.

Baseball game at Wrigley Field

This is how I spent the first couple of days at swim class.

And eventually warmed up to the idea.

Tennis

I had the pleasure of Miss Maria taking a few photos of me. She is a brillant photographer, and mommy and daddy are so grateful for the beautiful photos. Thank you Maria!

Thanksgiving '09

2009-12-08T16:39:00.000-08:00

We spent Thanksgiving with the Peterson Family this year. We had 'yots' of food. I'd have to say the marshmallow sweet potatoes were my favorite. Here I am with my cousin Mark. What a handsome dude.

Fall

2009-10-11T10:41:00.000-07:00

My apologies for not updating you sooner on my whereabouts. I've been busy playing football, working on America's Healthcare policies, and getting this "Beckham like" hair-do. I would have kept my hair long, however, I formed a habit of pulling my hair out and started to look like the Incredible Hulk, so mom and dad thought now was a good time to chop it all off.

Apple picking (and eating) at Kuipers' Family Farm

Yes mom, I'm pretty sure they are organic and don't contain any pesticides.

Yummy! These Prima apples are my favorite!

The 'Pumpin' Patch!

Another fun-filled fall day. Next stop, The BEACH!!!!!!

Mountains, Marriage, and Me

2009-07-14T12:13:00.001-07:00

I just got back from my trip to Idaho for Uncle Brandon's wedding. Here are some highlights:

Even the car rides are cooler in Idaho. They're just like roller-coasters.

Hiking is much easier with your own sherpa

Here I giving mom a pep talk before she heads down the aisle. "Head up, back straight"

I like to think the ring bearer is the glue that holds a wedding together

Kindly thanking a young lady for a dance

Me and my Mom

2009-06-29T14:45:00.001-07:00

With a mom this cool, there is no shame in being a momma's boy.

2009-03-05T19:09:00.000-08:00

I've also been able to "bury" myself in reading

I enjoy reading next to pretty girls like my friend Haddon.

I really like reading with the prettiest girl, my Mom

Things to do when it won't stop snowing...

2009-03-05T18:58:00.000-08:00

This winter has been pretty brutal and has kept me indoors for days at a time. But the silver lining is that I've become pretty handy at building luxury residential towers.

2 is better than 1

2009-03-05T18:20:00.000-08:00

Being 2 has kept me so busy that I'm only now getting around to updating this site.

Here are some photos from my 2nd birthday party, way back in January.

It wouldn't have been a party without my good friends Matthew, Jacob W. and Jacob L.

Potty Trained!!!

2009-01-08T18:27:00.000-08:00

Yes, you heard correctly. As of January 1, 2009 I am completely potty trained. You see, I've been going potty inconsistently for a handful of months, because I wanted to see my parents work hard for such an achievement. I finally gave in...I wanted to start the new year on the right foot with them. I used to be a boy, now, I AM A MAN!

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU SANTA

2009-01-04T10:57:00.000-08:00

Look who made Santa's Nice List!

Here I am waiting to go see what Santa left.

Check out the matching Jordan sweatsuit and Air Jordan 6 Rings that Uncle Andy got me.

Merry (belated) Christmas and Happy New Year

2009-01-04T10:49:00.000-08:00

Mom and Dad tried real hard to make this year's Christmas card a reality. We got dressed up a few times and found some really nice locations, but I made the executive decision that I will not be photographed smiling for the family Christmas card this year. Here are some that almost made the cut.

From our family to yours, Happy New Year!

Winter Wonderland

2009-01-04T10:41:00.001-08:00

It snows A LOT here in Chicago. That Al Gore is full of Crap!! I'm all for going green, but it's hard to when everything is so white with snow.

Wooosh!! Getting Barrelled in this Month's Surfer.

2009-01-04T10:29:00.000-08:00

That's the sound I make when Daddy and I read Surfer Magazine together.

You may not know this about me, but I enjoy reading all the time. In addition to Surfer, I read ESPN Magazine, Chicago Tribune Sports Section, Weekly Sports Authority Advertisements, and all other books/magazines/advertisements that may include any picture of balls of any sport.

My Trips to the Petting Zoo

2008-09-28T17:49:00.000-07:00

Here I am picking up chicks.

Me and Mom, both enjoying the view.

I had so much fun the first time around, I went back with Dad to introduce him to my friends.

Coloring with Jacob

2008-09-28T17:45:00.000-07:00

Jacob is much more of a traditional artist, whereas I'm much more abstract and daring.

Getting Ready for the 2016 Olympic Games

Back to the Beach

2008-08-07T18:58:00.000-07:00

So it turns out I really like the beach. So much so, I talked Mom and Dad into going back. We used the excuse of Daddy's friend's wedding to spend a few extra days at the beach in Charleston.

Again, Daddy was scared, so I had to hold his hand as we walked out to the dock.

I love the ocean.

2008-08-07T18:46:00.001-07:00

Finally...A VACATION

2008-08-07T18:03:00.000-07:00

Finally, after 17 long months, mom and dad took me to the beach. The months leading up to our trip to Hilton Head had been so hectic, with my body growing and all, so I just really needed some time to feel the sand between my toes, the sun on my face, and hang out with my family.

Only 63 1/2 more years until retirement.

This was my first trip to the ocean. Mom and Dad were a little scared so I had to walk them both into the water.

Dad still needed some coaching.

Mom and dad were slowing me down so I had to cut them loose.

Here I am commanding the waters to rise.

Here I'm trying to play it cool while the girlies walk by, even though Dad lathered up my head with sunscreen. Sometimes, I think Dad intentionally does these things to hurt my chances with the lady folk. He keeps saying its for my own good. I have no idea what that even means.

Other Fun Vacation Photos:

After a morning at the beach, afternoon at the pool, and evening out on the town, I'm pooped.

Dancing with my Friends

2008-06-29T12:17:00.000-07:00

Me, Matthew, and Andrew. Give us a beat and enjoy.

PeePee on the Potty

2008-06-29T12:09:00.000-07:00

This potty training stuff is hard work. But these European-inspired outfits are flattering, if I do say so myself.

North Avenue Beach, Chicago

2008-06-04T16:19:00.000-07:00

Just checking out the surf, sticking cigarette butts in my mouth and taking other peoples toys...another ordinary day at the beach.

My first bike

2008-06-04T16:15:00.000-07:00

Ok, so this actually is not MY bike so to speak, but I enjoyed pretending to ride it.

My Green Thumb

2008-06-04T15:47:00.000-07:00

Just add water and watch me grow.

Sweetness

2008-06-04T15:40:00.000-07:00

Dance, Too Much Booty in the Pants

2008-06-04T15:28:00.000-07:00

This is what happens when my Daddy get to dress me. Surprisingly, none of my friends know what a Chippendale is. I try to explain it, but they just don't get it.

Sharing Stories with Grandma May

2008-06-04T15:12:00.000-07:00

"So then I rescued the princess and she gave me a big kiss, but I said to her 'babe, this bird is too young for your nest. I gotta fly up out of here.'"

Just an ordinary Monday afternoon.

My Smoochin' Lips

2008-05-02T19:13:00.000-07:00

Daddy tells me these are smoochin' lips. But I save my smooches for my momma, for now.

This is my thank you for visiting wave. Not to be confused with my hello wave, good-bye wave, please wave, and I'm sorry wave.

Rockin' Out

2008-05-02T19:03:00.000-07:00

That rubik's cube confused the heck out me. I'd rather dance.

Just working on my game face before this evenings soccer match.

Me and Jacob

2008-03-31T13:53:00.000-07:00

This is Jacob, I think you would consider him my 2nd cousin. He is 5 years old. Here I am showing him some of my latest wrestling moves.

My kind of math

2008-03-15T12:16:00.000-07:00

1 for Nala, 7 for Landon

Now that I am 1...

2008-03-15T12:01:00.000-07:00

I have 12 teeth

I'm fast enough to keep mom and dad in shape

I like to play in the drinks I spill

I show my affection through hugs, kisses, bites and headbutts

My roommate Uncle Andrew and Nala(the dog) have become my good buddies

Bananas are still my favorite food, although I will eat anything you give me

I crawl up and down the stairs

I make my mom and dad proud

Let it snow, let it snow, let is snow!!

2008-03-15T10:34:00.001-07:00

Since the move to Chicago, it has snowed almost every other day...I'm ready for Tahiti (well, at least mom and dad are.)

Happy Birthday to Me!!!!!

2008-02-07T09:09:00.000-08:00

. Eww..what is that thing?

This photo was taken on my actual birthday. Mom and dad were so excited to sing happy birthday to me, and have me eat my birthday cupcake. It didn't go as well as they had hoped it would.

Here I am at my 'Nautical themed' 1st birthday party, hence the captains hat and sweater(that was daddy's idea). We had so much fun! We ate blue jello with red goldfish, bean dip and birthday cake. Yum :)

Here I am with my mom and dad. You can't really see me because the balloon is blocking my face...thanks guys.

The Noble Family Circus, I Mean Family Christmas

2008-01-15T13:46:00.000-08:00

So this is where all the presents came from.

I got to meet my great-grandma and great-grandpa. That was my favorite gift.

The entire Noble Clan (minus Auntie Katie). Lucky for me, I get my looks from my mom.

Me and Auntie Katie

Me and Auntie Lauren

My First Christmas

2008-01-15T13:29:00.001-08:00

I knew Santa wouldn't let me down

Here's the one gift I wasn't able to peek at before we opened presents. Daddy showed me how to shake presents in order to find out what's in there. I showed Daddy that it's easier to bite the wrapping paper instead.

Merry Christmas from me and my (awesome) parents

Just...One...More...Bite

2007-12-04T09:46:00.000-08:00

Ho Ho Ho

2007-12-03T05:42:00.001-08:00

Mom and dad were planning to take me to the mall to visit Santa, but we found him in Historic downtown Leesburg. To top it off, he brought Mrs. Clause along with him...what a treat!

Jacobson Tree Farm

2007-12-03T05:31:00.000-08:00

I've been feeling a little bit under the weather so mom and dad took me to Jacobson Tree Farm to get our Christmas Tree!
Here is dad cutting down our beautiful tree. I told him he could have the honors of cutting it down...next year I will give it a go.

Happy Thanksgiving!

2007-12-03T05:05:00.000-08:00

The Peterson Family flew from Chicago to be with us on Thanksgiving. I'm showing them how to play peek-a-boo(where's landon?) at the table. I sat at the table for almost 3 hours while they ate dinner(I was given cheerios) at the Sequioa restaurant in Georgetown. We had such a great time together. Thanks for coming!

My cool Uncle Andrew

2007-12-02T17:36:00.001-08:00

Andrew (stud soccer player) and I have become pretty close over the last 10 months. Here I am giving him some advice on relationships.

Nice and Cozy

2007-12-02T17:18:00.000-08:00

I'd like to give a shout out to Great Grandma Flecken for this sweet pair of giraffe pajamas.

2007-11-05T05:08:00.000-08:00

Lucky for mom and dad that I found the best two pumpkins in that patch.

Uncle Brandon is official, he's a pilot. Let's see, first I want to go to California, and then Australia, and then Fiji, and then Bali, and then Africa, and then Rio. Make it happen Brandon.

My First Clemson Football Game

2007-11-05T04:29:00.000-08:00

I can get used to this. This was me at the Clemson-Florida State game. GO TIGERS!

Beach Baby!

2007-09-20T17:53:00.000-07:00

Calm down ladies, there is plenty of me to go around.

My Tongue

2007-09-18T11:48:00.000-07:00

I just discovered my tongue. I like to stick it out during most hours of the day...or night, I enjoy staying up during all hours of the night too.

Chicago

2007-09-18T11:45:00.000-07:00

We miss you, dad.

My First Steps...

2007-09-18T11:41:00.000-07:00

Welcome aboard flight 5200 to Miami, Florida

2007-09-18T11:29:00.000-07:00

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, from the flight deck this is your captain speaking.

A Few Life's Lessons

2007-09-10T10:06:00.000-07:00

Since I am 2/3 of the way through my first year of life, I feel I have a lot to share on what I have learned. Here are my thoughts on two very important parts of my life thus far, eating and fashion.

EATING

Hold off for the bananas.

Don't be afraid to get a little messy.

Apple Juice is so much cooler in a Spider-Man cup.

FASHION

Sunglasses go with just about any outfit. You just need the right attitude.

You can make a hat out of just about anything.

Real men don't wear shirts.

We're Going Streaking!

2007-08-13T10:04:00.001-07:00

"We're going streaking! Sorry, sorry, we're goin' streaking through the quad and then to the gymnasium. Come on everybody! Come on! Snoop! Snoop-a-loop! Snoop...uh, no, it's cool! It's cool! I'm cool, bring your green hat. Let's go! Come on everybody we're goin!"

Joy Riding with my Dad

2007-08-13T09:52:00.000-07:00

Only 15 years, 5 months until I get my license. Get ready, world.

More Visitors

2007-08-13T09:43:00.000-07:00

My dad's aunt and cousins came to visit last weekend. Here I am convincing Ryan that my bat smells funny (only to bop him on his nose when he goes to smell it)

Got Him!

Where My Ladies At?

2007-07-24T12:36:00.000-07:00

I came to the pool to meet some lovely girls, where are they?

Looks like I'm stuck with mom again. It's ok, I love my mom and she says I should wait until I'm 30 to date anyways.

Pools, bouncy seats, and sports centers...oh my!

2007-07-24T08:02:00.001-07:00

Uncle Andy likes to buy me lots of things. He is so generous. Here is the sports center that he bought me a few days ago. I can sit at it for a long time. Sometimes I pretend that I am slam dunking the basketball and pull the entire center down with me.

Grandma and Grandpa Noble bought me this super cool tropical jungle bouncy seat. I get so excited when I sit in here.

Grandma and Grandpa Noble also bought this awesome pool for me. I like it because it keeps me cool on the hot and muggy summer days, and because I get to drink the water. Well, I try to drink the water, but mommy and daddy do their best to stop me.

Feed Me!!!

2007-07-23T08:36:00.000-07:00

Please give me the spoon, I'll feed myself.

This is how I usually act when I am around food. I love all kinds of food, especially those delicious bananas my mom and dad feed me.

5 Months

2007-06-23T12:12:00.001-07:00

At 5 Months...

I am in the 90% for height and weight, tipping the scale at 20 pounds,

I can sit up on my own,

roll around,

eat rice cereal,

and bootie dance.

I can't be serious all the time. Dad says I get it from my mom.

My Dad and Me

2007-06-23T11:40:00.000-07:00

Me and my dad have all sorts of fun together.
