Noah turns 11 yrs old!

Noah turned 11yrs old in January! He has a friend, Emmery, who turned 10 the day after him so they decided to have a party together on the weekend since most of their friends are the same. They both love going shooting with their dads so Kendall and Erik, Emmery's dad, took them and some friends up into the mountains and they got to shoot at different targets for a few hours. They came home all excited with lots of stories to tell.
 Karen, Emmery's mom, made the boys a cake that looked like a big target! It was awesome!
 As you can imagine, a house full of boys was quite loud and exciting!

 On Noah's birthday we had a dinner and invited my mom and brother Joshua over. Noah was super excited to get some new pants with tons of pockets in them.
 Noah also got his own BB gun so he and Emma can go out and shoot together.
Noah wanted apple pie for his birthday. The headlamp is one of his gifts also.
Noah is a night person. He has been staying up late at night in his bed reading by the light of his alarm clock. So we got him a head lamp so he has better light to read by. I remember staying up late at night when I was his age reading Nancy Drew books. He made a goal to read 12 books by the end of the year and so far he's read 6 books in the last month and a half. He's discovered the joys of reading and that makes me so excited! He loves everything he reads and is learning so much!
He earned his Weblos badge in cub scouts and is now in Boy Scouts. He loves it so far and is super excited for his 1st camp out with his troop.
