Dinner and Dancing

Last night my Valentine took me to dinner and dancing. Wow! We sure know how to cut a rug! Well, at least Kyle knew what he was doing. We two stepped and fox trotted until the late hours of 8 o'clock. To top it off we had a delicious meal of Spaghetti and yummy dessert. It was a wonderful night...and best of all it was free! Provided by the Elders Quoram 2010 Valentine Party. Best of all I spent the evening with my Valentine.

Pinewood Derby 2010

2010 Pinewood derby was a success! I was unfortunately unable to make it due to a sick child at home, but according to my closest sources that did attend the event the reports were very outstanding. Cody won 1st place in his division and Weston won 3rd in his. Keeping up with the Cox/Olson racing reputation, we will now be continuing onto districts. (Cody-Green Gator; Weston-Spider Web Racer) Thanks to Kyle who oversaw the project and to my parents who provided the cheering section and the ride home :-) Great Job boys!

Married to a millionaire....

I'm a little late posting this but better late than never. Last year I was married to bosterous, obnoxious, and handsome Gaston, but this year I get to be married to a millionaire. That's right, Kyle has been casted as the handsome and charming Horace Vandergelder in the Moses Lake Stake's 2010 production of Hello Dolly.
Based on The Matchmaker by Thornton Wilder, Hello Dolly tells the story of Dolly Gallagher Levi, a matchmaker who has been hired to arrange a marriage for the widowed half-millionaire Horace Vandergelder. Dolly, however, has other plans. She has herself been recently widowed and come to the conclusion that Horace and his fortune will make her the perfect mate. So when she arrives in Yonkers, she immediately begins to plant seeds of doubt in Vandergelder's mind about Irene Molloy, the pretty young widow she has picked out for him.
So this should be another fun and exciting thing to go and watch. Kyle and the cast have already started practices so we dont see him much. But knowing the time and effort are being put forth for a good cause he is doing what he loves.
So mark your calendars once again for March 12, 13, and 14th to come and see the show. This time it is being held at the Big Bend College Theater so everyone will be able to get a comfy seat this year.

Sunday, January 3, 20010

Wow! This week was amazing! I hope the whole new year goes by this successful and outstanding.

We sucessfully got Savannah potty trained. Although I don't know if I can claim the fame. The story goes like this: I had Katelin help Savannah get dressed so we could go to the library. While in the library I was trying to find Savannah a good book. She approached me and said "I need to go potty." I thought ok, I guess we will see how this goes. Prior to this I had not given too much effort into the issue of teaching her yet. To my amazement when I got to the bathroom I had found out Katelin had put panties on her while getting her dressed. Well, she went potty in the "big girl potty" and has continued ever since.

The New Years didn't go off with a bang like I had hoped. We were suppose to go to a baptism and a party at one of our friends house from church. Kyle had gotten home from work and had not felt up to it so Katelin and I stayed up and watched the clock turn 12. But I did make a note of some New Years resolutions I would like to accomplish. I guess this time is as good as any to make a note of the goals I would like to achieve:

#1 Get back in shape: I've let myself go over the holidays. But I know what it takes and I need to make sure I do the simple things to get back into the routine like eating right and going to the gym everyday.

#2 Daily scripture study and prayer: These choices are simple but the hardest to make. I would rather curl up with a good novel but I know it wouldn't fill my soul and give me enlightment like the words from the scriptures, and this house is happier when we say family prayer and read from the scriptures. So I have posted little reminders around the house to help us each day.

That's enough for now. I think these are two great goals to work on. So we will see how I am doing in a couple of weeks. It shouldn't be too hard. Now that I am not working I have more time to focuss on self improvement.

Good luck to anyone else that has made New Year's resolutions! Let's make 2010 the best year yet!

2009 Christmas Tree

We chose to bring back the same theme as last year : " A Cowboy Christmas". Decorated with small minature cowboy hats, saddles, horseshoes and cowboy boots, rustic colored stars and balls, finished off with gollden lights and shimmering garland and topped with an authentic Cowboy Hat, our tree is definetly a seasonal symbol of the Noyes family!

To our friends and family may you be blessed with great happiness and love this Holiday Season as we remember the birth and life of our Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ. Spread the love and charity that is in your hearts with those around you! Love to all, The Noyes family

You know there is going to be a change when...

You know there is going to be a change in church when you show up and the whole Stake Presidency is sitting in the stands. This week was a weird one already with the boys horse dying and Weston spraining his hand, but yesterday was the cake topper. It was so nerve racking you could hear a pin drop and everyone was sweating and hearts were pounding. President Baker made the announcement yesterday that they were splitting 1st ward and sending the chosen ones to 3rd ward! You would've thought he was asking all of us to pack up and move to Missouri. The tears were rolling and hearts were heavy. They took the good ones: Both Oneill's, The Tuckers, The Hursts, The Earl's, The Stevers, The Plates and a couple of the cool new families that just moved in. And he wasn't finished...to top it off he changed our bishopric. So I would just like to take a minute and dedicate a little note of appreciation to Bishop Tucker. You will be missed!!! When we first moved into this ward they released Bishop Poth and put in Bishop Tucker. Bishop Tucker has helped us through our process of getting adapted to our new surroundings. He has been awesome in helping us feel welcome and always had such good and inspirtational things to say to us to keep us hopeful and uplifted. So thankyou Bishop for 3 wonderful years! May you reign supreme in 3rd ward!!And Congratulations to our new Bishopric: Brother Ryan Tolley as Bishop; Brother Palmer as 1st couselor; and Brother Chuck Merrell as 2nd Counselor. Lead us home my good brothers.
