the adventures of jared and sarin

Noelle has had an exciting first eight weeks of life. Here are some pictures and "firsts."

Noelle's first roadtrip in her life was to good ole' Sugar City, Idaho. She slept the entire time in the car, except for when she had this huge blowout in the middle of Wyoming. As new parents, it was a lot of fun!

Noelle's first time at a frozen yogurt place...we hope that she will love it as much as her parents.

Noelle taking a nap with Nana.

Noelle had enough of the family pictures that we were taking in the gardens of BYU-Idaho.

Noelle's first time hanging out with Uncle Devin.... Uncle Pooky.

On the way back from Idaho.... Noelle doing what she does best.

Thanks Rachel for the cute outfit! Sometimes when we get home, we keep Noelle in her second bed, the carseat.

Noelle helping mommy do laundry.

This is Sarin's favorite way to keep Noelle's binkey in her mouth.

Noelle's first time at church. We waited six weeks!

Noelle, crying a little bit with Grandma after church. She got a little bit hungry, just like the rest of us.

Sarin and I were at the doctor's office with Noelle. After the appointment, we stayed in the room for a couple minutes so that Sarin could feed her. When she was finished, I put her on the table to change her diaper. As I did, she started peeing like a faucet.... then we moved her over when we thought she was done...and then she did it again. It was all over the place and really funny!

This is Noelle's first "daddy-daughter date." We went to a really cool Alex Boye concert on campus. Sarin and I took turns being out with Noelle. I got some time to walk around the BYU-Idaho campus and tell Noelle all about my favorite places and memories there. This was the first time that I was out of the house, all alone with my daughter....it was pretty cool.

Noelle's first time at the office of the legendary "Ullrich Insurance Agency."

Noelle's first time at Costco.

Noelle's first time hanging out with mom and dad while they play tennis at the park.

Noelle's first time at the gym.

Noelle's first time visiting our friend Dorcey.

Sarin does such a good job taking care of Noelle and getting another degree at the same time!

Noelle's first time bowling...with mom, dad, Mark and Camille.

Noelle hanging out with daddy as he had worked from home for a few days. Sometimes, Noelle would just sit there and stare at me for a long time....it was great!
