A-Maz-Ing!

What an amazing past few weeks! Noodles and Sam say hello and Happy Thanksgiving! 

Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers during this holiday season. Christmas is right around the corner and is Noodles and Sam's favorite holiday. Christmas is the absolute best! Being able to celebrate the birth of our lord and savior Jesus Christ is without a doubt their favorite holiday.
Busy Month
Over the past few weeks Noodles and Sam have: been to Cambodia, been to Haiti, received a VIP tour of Washington D.C. and topped it all off by going skydiving with their new friends at Skydive Perris.

Celebration
This month they will be leaving shortly for their German adventure where they will be spending Christmas. They are excited to spend sometime at home before they leave for Germany. They even turned down a trip for this week to Dallas and Jacksonville just so they could spend a couple of extra days at home. However, they are looking forward to their Germany Adventure and to see how Christmas is celebrated in another country. They will return just in time to celebrate New Year's Eve and Day with the Team here.

Movie trailer - Must see!

Hey everybody,

Noodles and Sam are still in Washington D.C. having a great time but will be back tomorrow. We know they are learning a lot but we can't wait to see them. They have been traveling so much we have really been missing them. It will be great to have them home for Thanksgiving. We hope you all are planning something special with family too!

We received the full video of Noodles and Sam's visit to Cambodia. The video shows them in Battembang, around town, at the school and just experiencing life there. It is really "Life Unedited". The video we received is really long so there is a lot to go through. We want to combine it with the Skype call we did when they were there. It is going to take a while to go through but until then we made a "movie trailer" for it. We ran out of time yesterday and only put it on the site, we will put it on The Noodles and Sam YouTube channel later today.

Go to the site, it's a must see!!! It's awesome and the coolest thing we've done yet.

Until next time,
The Adventures of Noodles and Sam Team

Special Delivery

Hello from Noodles & Sam,
Very Cool
Noodles and Sam were invited to go to New Zealand and Australia in April with some new friends. This adventure will be slightly different than the other adventures they have been on. They will actually be traveling there with their new friend Megan. What makes this adventure different is it is packed full of crazy stuff. We will share more with you as we get closer to the date (April 1st - April 17th) but they will be doing things like ice climbing, going on a jet boat, gondola ride, camping and more. It is going to be one crazy trip. Noodles and Sam are really excited.
Special Delivery
As you can see from the picture that we finally got our UPS adventure pictures. We really want to thank UPS for the tour and learning adventure they provided us. We know that Morgan at UPS worked really hard on putting it together. Noodles and Sam learned a lot at the UPS air cargo hub in Ontario, California. The pictures are great and we will have all of them on the website soon.
Nations Capital
Noodles and Sam arrived in Washington D.C. today. They were really excited as well as the team about this trip. We all want to thank Laura in D.C. who will be hosting them for the next week. We know they will be learning and having a great time in our nations capital.
Thats it for now. We want to thank everybody for their great e-mails. We want to give a special hello to everyone today!

At the UPS air cargo facility in Ontario,CA
Until next time,

Life is Good!

The Noodles and Sam Team say hello,

We are sure Noodles and Sam would say hello and give you a big thank you today but we haven't talked to them. As you probably know they are somewhere in Port-au-Prince Haiti today. We hope everyone is doing well. Your messages have been great and some of the things you all are doing are amazing. It is so interesting to learn about different cultures of the world. Please keep them coming.
Bugged Out
Just before Noodles and Sam left for Haiti they were bugged out. One afternoon they had a  praying mantis show up outside. They thought it was super cool and although they have been around the world they hadn't seen one up close. A day or two later a while hanging out outside they came across a tarantula. Yes, that's right a tarantula! Again, although they have been all over the world they had never seen a real one. Now Noodles and Sam want to go learn more about bugs. They aren't sure where to go, so let us know if you have a great place to learn about bugs by where you live and they can come visit you. Tell us what you think.
Schools in Session
The Noodles and Sam team were contacted yesterday by one of the local schools about the The Adventures of Noodles and Sam website. They wanted to discuss how they could use it in some of the classrooms. It was really neat for a few reasons. The first reason was that the kids in school would be able to see and learn about all of the great things Noodles and Sam are doing. The second reason was they wanted to make sure the site was secure and safe. Once the call was over it was all set; The Adventures of Noodles and Sam is going to be used in some of the classrooms during what they call the "free time". Everybody at the Adventures of Noodles and Sam are really excited and can't wait to tell Noodles and Sam when they return.
Quite on the Set
We spoke to Cambodia yesterday and found out the official name of the school. Up until this point Noodles and Sam and the team only knew it was a primary school. The official name is Ty-rathanak Primary School, Battambang Province. The principal of the school, principal Tep also told our contact he was sending out the video that he taped for Noodles and Sam. We will keep you posted. The team here has been using i-movie to edit the Cambodia Skype call. It has been challenging. Let us know if you have any more tips or tricks. Noodles and Sam are really new to website designing, movie editing, etc. so your help is really appreciated, really!
Last But Not Least
Noodles and Sam really enjoyed raising the money and helping the kids in Cambodia. Although it wasn't much they were happy that they could help in any way. Let Noodles and Sam know if you have some place that you think they should try and help. They would love to hear about it.
Thank you
Noodles and Sam say thank you for your great e-mails and want to say a special hello to their new friends in Simi Valley, California and Ontario, Canada.
Until next time,
The Adventures of Noodles and Sam team

Paparazzi Here we Come

Noodles and Sam say hello and goodbye,
As always they want to thank you for your great e-mails! From California to New Zealand to Denmark to Mumbai and all of the places in between you all are truly amazing. You guys are great. With so many bad things going on in the world it is neat to see that there are so many good and honest people. So many people who care about each other and want to learn more about the world we live in.
Now with all of that said let's get you plugged into the latest goings on with Noodles and Sam. We may need your help with some of it so read carefully and let us know:
Hello & Goodbye
Noodles and Sam are leaving today for Haiti. As you know they will be traveling with a team of doctors and nurses. They should be coming home later this week. Hurricane Thomas just passed through Haiti so the country is recovering from the earthquake of last January and now the hurricane. Keep the people of Haiti, the doctors, nurses and Noodles and Sam in your prayers.
Sky High
A few months back we mentioned that Noodles and Sam might be going sky diving. Well it has all been set up. The weekend of Thanksgiving (November 27th - 28th) they will be going skydiving with a group from Perris Valley Skydiving. We are not sure if they will have a video or just pictures but we will be sure to put them on The Adventures of Noodles and Sam website for you to see. It will be cool to see what skydiving is like. Any tips let us know.
Paparazzi
Noodles and Sam met the Mayor last week. He is a fantastic guy and was helpful in explaining what he does for our city. We took some great pictures and an even better video. One bad thing, our video camera didn't work so we lost the whole thing. We did get a call the next from his office inviting us to the annual Founders Day Parade. The parade marks the birthday of the city and all of it's accomplishments. Noodles and Sam will be riding in the parade with Mayor Kurth. They were also invited to join him at the "Dignitary" breakfast before the parade. There will be mayors, county supervisors, photographers and reporters there. Noodles and Sam are super excited and can't wait for this Saturday (November 13th) Be sure to come to the parade if you can. Thanks Mayor Kurth!
We want to thank everybody and say a special hello to our new friends in Dallas, Texas and Copenhagen, Denmark.
Until next time,
The Adventures of Noodles and Sam team

Amazing, Thank You

Hello from Noodles & Sam!
The last few weeks have been amazing. Noodles and Sam (and the team) have had so many great things going on it is hard to keep up. Thank you  to our friends around the world for your great e-mails and adventure offers. The response to Noodles and Sam is amazing! Take a look at some of the happenings around The Adventures of Noodles and Sam...
Haiti
Noodles and Sam will be leaving next week to go to Haiti. They will be going there with a team of doctors and nurses on a missions trip. They are very excited about this trip. Haiti is a special place to them and has been in their prayers since the horrible earthquake. This trip came up unexpectedly and they didn't have a chance to raise any money for the kids there. They are hoping they will get another chance to go in the near future and will have time to raise money.
Washington D.C.
Noodles and Sam were scheduled to visit Washington D.C. next week. Due to the Haiti trip the D.C. trip had to be rescheduled. The family they will be visiting in D.C. offered to move their trip out a week to allow Noodles and Sam to visit Haiti and still visit D.C. Noodles and Sam want to say a big thank you to them.
Voting
Noodles and Sam voted for the first time yesterday. It was a great experience and they learned how important it is. They learned about the process of studying the candidates, visiting the polling location and actually filling out your ballot. We have some great pictures and should have them on the site in the next few days. It was great!
Wristbands
Our "The Adventures of Noodles and Sam" wristbands have arrived. We have started sending them out to all of the members of the Noodles and Sam Fan Club. If you are a member you should be receiving it in the next week. If not be sure to become a member and you will get one too. We will get a picture of them on the site, they are pretty cool. Everybody loves them (they were designed by Noodles and Sam)
It's a wrap
We are trying to get some of the open projects wrapped up on The Adventures of Noodles and Sam. We are still finishing the Cambodia page and video, book review videos, and several other little projects. Noodles and Sam have so much going on it is hard to keep up. Thank you for making them so popular! Make sure to find us on Facebook.
Until next time,
The Adventures of Noodles and Sam team
