Here's ME on the drive to Layton! :D HOORAY for photo editing! Anywho, on Saturday we headed to Layton for Mr. Noah's (my bro. Dave's boy) 3rd birthday party!

Ella and Mia were super stoked to go. You can see Mia's wink -which means she's anticipating an excellently organized and child-friendly event -as always
(someone else planned this).![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxDnYbEdglWZ2oxbMNjRvdzg3Pa8IllLDA21Bb-6dDGjYwaliTmy0Zjt5_ZN0BrCNb8gHUHZwmFCbCyjXyAwLOK6i3CPFsMCprZveBF_JOl5HON0RerljfLHxevtj_Aq2PAZZikDJOGJU/s320/SAM_1320.JPG)

The theme was Thomas The Train -and it was intense! Lexie did an absolutely fabulous job with the games and the deco and everything
in between...

Here's the table, and that's the birthday boy on the left with the shaggy beach-
blond hair! ...That's Granny in the back with her sunglasses.

All the boys found their space one way or another... Lance didn't get off so easy.

We gave Noah a cute little skate-boarder dude toy
thingie. Good luck with that, Lexie!

At the end of the party, the REAL present -LIFE SIZE THOMAS was the biggest hit with every kid there! What a party! Noah is absolutely precious -he's getting so mature (not so big!) and is so
stinkin' smart! We had a great time. Happy Birthday, Noah!
