from baby to toddler!

Here's a few images from Noah's first birthday party. we had it this past saturday, October 24, 2009. it was a costume party!! :) the first picture is of my family...my sissy brooke was a pirate, there's me!, my mom was a graduate, dad was mr. incredible, and my sissy carah was a barista! aka a starbucks girl!

Oh yea, i was dorothy from the wizard of oz! pretty cute, huh!

caramel apples for thank you gifts!

noah and jeremiah = best friends!

my little dragon boy! :) he had a great day!

my favorite picture

i love everything about this picture...the way you can see the storm in the distance, and the awesome color of the water...and of course my boys :) i love how noah looks so small next to his mommy and daddy...he is getting to be such a big boy! it's hard to believe he will be a year old in just a month and a half! 

just had to share this great picture with ya'll

have a great night!

we're having a GREAT time!

we left thursday night for our vacation! we've been all over the OuterBanks...we have seen two lighthouses, the house that was used in Nights in Rodanthe, and some crazy waves caused by Hurricane Bill!! it's been a great vacation so far.

we are in Washington D.C. since yesterday. we drove alllllllll day yesterday...literally! we left OBX at 8:30 and finally arrived at our condo at 3:30 (we were supposed to get there by 12 or 1) then we drove all around downtown dc seeing the sights (and trying to find a parking spot!) we finally made it to dinner at the ESPN Zone restaurant, which was pretty good. it was jessica's request since it was her 25th birthday!! :) we all had a great time walking around downtown and just looking at all of the monuments. 

here are some pictures from our trip so far!

Five Generations!

At my parent's 25th wedding anniversary party, we got the chance to take a 5 generation picture!! Thats my Granny Cagle, my Papa Ron Cagle, my daddy Keith Cagle, me, and noah :) what's really cool is that papa, dad, and noah are all first born sons :) and i am also a firstborn! we thought that was pretty neat! Noah has such a great heritage, both on my side as well as Jamie's side. he is so blessed to have two sets of grandparents, great grandparents, and even a great-great grandmother still living!!
