Noelle Elizabeth Cook born December 25th 2003

Yes, my little Noelle was born on Christmas morning at 5:16 am. People always ask me if that was a bummer and I always say no but that it was my most favorite birth out of all the kids. I started having contractions while I was putting the older two to bed and that was about 11 oclock pm. I hurried and got all the presents wrapped and by the time I was done I was in that pain....you know ThaT pain. We got to the hospital around 3 and by 4 I had the epidural and was relaxed. My midwife was there the entire time and it was so cool because we talked about the birth of the Savior. Noelle came just after 5 am and when they took me to my room it had just started to snow and the scene out my window was picturesque. Absolutely beautiful, I will never forget the feeling I had lying there with Noelle in my arms. I felt nothing but peace....I love that emotion!




She loves to look pretty...good thing it comes easy for her...she's my beauty inside and out!



She loves a party escpecially when it's planned for her.







She loves to get her face painted...this was the ultimate face painting job done when we went to Disneyland


She loves to play at the park

She loves horses...she's saying yeehaw if you can't tell.

Loves to pick my flowers and put them in water.

She loves to go boating with family and friends.....and she has no fear.


She loves sunglasses and was so sad when she lost these over the side of the boat.

She loves to jump on the tramp...too bad grandma got rid of hers.




She loves when the easter bunny comes.

She has such a love hate realtionship with her big brother Conner.


She has always been a poser.

When Noelle turned one.


Isn't she beautiful!

My Sleeping Beauty


I love this picture!


And this is the day it all began.


I remember one thing Colby blessed her with in her baby blessing. He said that she would be the peace maker in the family. I have to admit that sometimes it's hard to see that right now but she has such a tender heart and rarely is the one to start a fight. She just wants to love and be loved. I love her bright smile when I see her first thing in the morning. I love the way she dances when she is listening to her favorite songs. I love the way she pretends with her big sister Savannah. I love the way she trys to play sports with Conner. I love the way she handles Auttumn even though Auttumn is constantly beating up on Noelle. And I love the way she loves her baby brother Boston. She sings to him, dances with him in her arms (a little scary too), wispers in his ear sweet nothings, calms him down when he's fussy, and the list goes on. Ohhh how I love my little Noelleeee. She's wonderful!

So this is funny, the other day at church I noticed that Noelle was in Dallin's class, (I had no idea they were the same age by the way), and kept asking Dallin about her. So today when I went to see that Dallin found his new teacher I saw Noelle sitting next to Dallin and I hate to admit this, but just pictured what amazingly adorable and BEAUTIFUL kids they would have. So can I ask now, can they become betrothed this young? Man she is the cutest little think EVER!!!! I love all the pics.

Thanks for sharing your birth experience with us, it is just so so sweet. You are so amazing Amy and honestly I just love your little fam.
