WordPress, Webcrusher, or Wyoming?


Hello everyone from Noodles and Sam,
The Adventures of Noodles and Sam team has been busy behind the scenes while Noodles & Sam have been out and about learning. We have been busy building our new blog site and our main site.
WordPress = good <> Webcrusher = not sure
We are hoping you like the new WordPress blog. Noodles & Sam and the team are very excited about it. WordPress has been very easy for us to use and customize. For the experienced or inexperienced the tools that are provided make it a comfortable place to settle in and call home. We have been working on The Adventures of Noodles and Sam website as well but behind the scenes. We used a program called Webcrusher to help the website open faster. Some of the feedback we have received from our great fans is the site is a little slow. The Webcrusher program did help the site open faster but was difficult to use and we are a little worried about the ability and ease to update the site now. Please let us know what you think and if you see any problems pop up. As you know we ad content to the site everyday so if you don't see it updated let us know. We appreciate all of your feedback. As you can see we listen to all of it and try to respond as soon as we can.
Wyoming's Cool Days
Noodles & Sam are in Wyoming, USA and having a great time seeing the sites, learning, and meeting new people.  The weather is a cool 38 degrees today and should be snowing by tomorrow. January is typically the coldest month in Wyoming and July is the warmest there. It is a good thing Noodles & Sam brought their winter clothes with them from their Germany adventure. The Wyoming adventure is becoming a great follow up to the German adventure. They are spending most of their time at the local elementary school. The teacher, Kitty has even written and prepared a few lesson plans for them and the students to use while Noodles & Sam are there. We will keep you posted.
Thanks!
We want to thank all of our great fans and followers. You are making The Adventures of Noodles and Sam grow everyday. You are helping kids and families spend time together and learn about the world. Please let us know if there is a place you would like them to learn about or if you would like them to come see you.
Until next time,
The Adventures of Noodles and Sam team

Truly Amazing!!

Hello and Happy New Year from Noodles & Sam,
Friends
Noodles and Sam are having a fantastic time in Germany. Rachel (and family) their hosts have been wonderful, they have opened their doors to Noodles and Sam and have made them a part of their family. They all are having such a great time that we are adjusting their travel calendar to allow them some extra time in Germany. It seems as though neither their hosts or Noodles and Sam are ready for the adventure to be over. Noodles and Sam have been able to experience a traditional German Christmas, have been able to see some of the sites (when it wasn't snowing) and even got to ring in the new year with their new German friends.
This adventure has been truly amazing and a fantastic way to start the new year!
Getting Ready
Although they have been busy Noodles & Sam have started thinking about their next adventure. If you don't know they will be traveling to the state of Wyoming here in the United States of America. They will be staying with a school teacher there and will probably spend some time with some of her students. We have been told that it is snowing a lot there but Noodles & Sam should be ready. Spending all of this time in Germany has prepared them for the snow. We will be trying again to do another Skype call from the Wyoming classroom as we tried in our Cambodian adventure. We will keep you posted.
Priority #1
We want to thank all of Noodles & Sam's many friends and followers from around the world. You made 2010 a great year filled with fun, learning and excitement. The Noodles & Sam team also learned a lot this past year and we appreciate all of your great e-mails and feedback (both good and  the constructive advice). We want to promise that together we will make 2011 an even better, bigger, brighter year for The Adventure of Noodles and Sam. We have so many ideas, projects, places and things we want to do it is hard to know where to start and find the time. We plan on many things like new videos, lessons, book club, game, cartoon, on an on the list goes. Our very first priority is learning. We will be concentrating on making sure that all of the pages we have learned about have all of the information on them. Thats priority #1.
Noodles & Sam mantra for 2011 is "See-Learn-Share"
Thats it for now. Let us know what adventure you would like to see us on next. Thank you for 2010 and what is to be a fantastic 2011. We want to say a special hello to our new friend in Tel Aviv, Israel before we go.

It's Cold!

Hello from Noodles and Sam,
No matter where you are in the world right now you are probably bearing some crazy weather. We spoke to Noodles and Sam and they want to be sure you take extra time and be super safe. They are in Long Island, New York today and they just checked in and told us that it's 34 degrees there. That's pretty cold, what's the weather like where you live?
Snow Days
Our friends from Germany have sent us some pictures. Although Noodles and Sam haven't gotten there yet our friends wanted us to see what the weather is like. Below is a picture of the city in Germany of where they are headed. The picture is of the local firehouse. All the snow you see in the picture has fallen just over the last week; it's piling up very quickly.
Always Looking
Noodles and Sam are always looking for ways to make their website better. They have received many great ideas and e-mails. They read all of them and as a result you will see some changes being made over the next week and months. All of us here really appreciate it.
Where in the World
Noodles and Sam have been all over the globe now. They have been everywhere from Battembang, Cambodia to Lytton, Iowa and places in between. Let us know what your favorite trip or adventure was. They get requests to go all over the world, let us know where you would like to see them go and learn about next and if we go there we will send you a Noodles and Sam bracelet for you and your family!
That's it
Well it has been a busy week for all of us. Thank you for being apart of The Adventures of Noodles and Sam where Learning About the World is Made Fun!
Until next time, Merry Christmas!,

Hello from Noodles and Sam,
They are leaving today for their next adventure. It is sure to be full of fun and excitement. The world of Noodles and Sam is growing everyday and this time of year really make us appreciate all of you who are apart of it. Noodles and Sam have followers in over 28 countries and 32 states. Please know how much fun we have with Noodles and Sam, look forward to doing this everyday and wish we could spend more time.
Smooth Sailing
We all want to thank their hosts from Germany and wish them a very Merry Christmas! We have had to work through some logistical bumps but it looks like it is smooth sailing from here. Their itinerary has changed a bit. They will now be heading to Long Island, New York for a few days before the trip to Dresden, Germany. They will also be in New York for New Years once they return from Germany. Below is a picture of the snow that is waiting for them in Dresden. They packed their snow suits so they will be ready!
Germany Here We Come!
Rocking Out
Noodles and Sam were invited yesterday to go Kansas next July for an adventure. That adventure will be a little different than the rest. They will be attending a Christian Worship Leaders Conference. While there they will be meeting several Christian singers (like Matt Redman, Rebecca St. James and more) and learn how they create the music they listen to. That is sure to be an incredible adventure.
Thats it,
for now. We will keep you posted on their trip. Please keep your e-mails, questions and suggestions coming. We want to say a special hello to our new friends in Long Island, New York!
Until next time,

Candy, Cargo & the Capital...Fun Stuff!

Hello from Noodles and Sam,
It has been a busy last few days for Noodles and Sam. They finished packing up for Germany and will be leaving in the morning. Since they will be spending Christmas there they have promised to send plenty of postcards. We think they are going to be so busy learning and having fun that they might forget to send them, we'll have to see.
Haiti
Noodles, Sam and the team got the pictures back from their Haiti Adventure. It was a fairly quick trip (considering some) and it was primarily focused in one area on rebuilding a church/school. It was great to be apart of it. We worked on the Haiti page this weekend on the website. We still have some work to do but check out the pictures.
Updates
Noodles and Same were busy updating their website the last few days. They were able to get a few new pages up. Pages like the Candy Shop, Skydiving, Washington D.C. and even U.P.S. We do want to thank Jerry at  Logan's Candies, Dan at Skydive Perris, Laura and Clements International and Morgan at the United Parcel Service. Without their help none of us would be able to learn about the great things they have showed and taught us. We have the pages up but we still need to add all of the great things we learned.
Patience
Noodles, Sam and the team want to thank you all for your patience. They have been traveling so much it is hard to get all of the great things they learn about on their website. Sometimes it takes longer than Noodles and Sam want but all of us here really want to thank you!
Well....thats it for now. We will keep you posted on how things go with Noodles and Sam's trip to Germany. As always we want to say thank you for being apart of this, There is something very special happening here and you all are apart of it. Before we go we want to say a big hello to our new friends in Paraiba, Brazil.
Merry Christmas,
The Adventures of Noodles and Sam team

The Candy Man

Hello from Noodles & Sam,
Like always they want to say thank you to all of their many fans and followers. They appreciate all of the fun and friendly e-mails and invitations they get! They love learning from each of you so they can then teach it to the rest of the Noodles & Sam world, our world.
The Candy Man
Last night as you know Noodles and Sam got a front row seat at Logan's Candies while they were making candy canes. They got home to late to update their website with some of the pictures and fascinating things they learned. We will get some of them up today but we can tell you making candy canes is an amazing adventure. Logan's will hand make over 75,000 candy canes this Christmas season. One batch weighs 17 to 18 pounds and will make about 400. It was super cool and we want to thank Jerry, Susie, Abigail and the rest of the gang for letting us be apart of it!
New Zealand
Last night while making candy canes Noodles and Sam got a special invitation to New Zealand. They will be heading to Australia and New Zealand in April and now it looks like they will be heading back there during the summer. It looks like we all will have to have our thinking caps on next year, we will be busy learning all year long.
All Aboard
Noodles and Sam are packing up. They should have their suit cases packed this weekend and ready to leave on Monday for Germany. They have been practicing their German but it looks like they are really going to need Rachel (their host) to help them. They are very excited about the trip and about all of the things they are going to experience, see and learn.
Thats it for now. Noodles and Sam want to say a special hello to their new friend in Istanbul, Turkey!
Until next time, Merry Christmas from
Noodles and Sam and the team!

They have been so busy, they have fallen behind on a lot of there projects for their website. They have a few mini movies they are still working on, book reviews and still have some pages they have been learning about that they need to finish. The team is slowing them down, they are running at a mile a minute. They have so many ideas and things they want to do it is hard to keep up. Be-assured we will get it done, promise.
This week!
This week they will be going to the famous Logan's Candy Shop in Ontario, California. They have been making real candy canes there since the 1930's. Noodles and Sam will have a front row seat to see and learn how candy canes are made. They are really excited. They are going on Wednesday because PBS and NBC Channel 4 will be there tonight and tomorrow night.
Packing there Bags
Later this week Noodles and Sam will start packing their bags for Germany. We will celebrate a mini Christmas with them and the team before they leave though. We all are very excited about the trip and to learn everything we can about Germany.

Filling Up!

Noodles and Sam say Hello!
Thank you!
Noodles and Sam and the team want to say a thank you to all of you. It has been a great month, made possible again by you. It is amazing to learn from each other and you allow us to experience the world through Noodles and Sam.
Up in the Sky
Noodles and Sam want to give another big, big thank you to Dan and Terry at Skydive Perris. They had a great time this past weekend and the more they look at the pictures the more they realize how much fun they had. Terry took some great pictures and video of their skydiving adventure. The team has actually put together a very neat video with some they took and with some Terry took. You will love it, so we will get it posted tonight.
Filling up
It looks like Noodles and Sam's schedule is filling up. They are going to have a couple of weeks of well needed time at home. Although they love traveling and seeing the world they also love being at home. The next few weeks will be great. After that they are headed off to Germany, then to Wyoming and then to New Zealand and Australia. They have some time in between so let them know if you have something you think we all would like to see.
It's a Wrap
Until next time be safe and have fun. Please let us know if there is something you would like to see on the website. We are always trying to update and improve it but sometimes it's hard to keep up.
Merry Christmas,

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.
Noodles & Sam w/ Dan from Skydive Perris - 12,500ft in the air!
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.
Tell a Friend
That's it for now. Please keep your great e-mails coming and keep spreading the word about The Adventures of Noodles and Sam. Today we are at 237 Facebook likes, tell your friends and let's see how high we can get their number!

Hello from Noodles and Sam,
They are on their way home and should be back on Wednesday. This is a little video the Adventures of Noodles and Sam Team put together. Check it out and let us know what you think.

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!

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

Well Were Home!!

Hello Everyone,
Well  Noodles and Sam returned home a yesterday, they had a wonderful trip to Cambodia.  We are in the process of doing our homework for the Cambodia page.  Those pictures will be up very soon, Noodles and Sam  learned so much about the country and we are very excited to share what they learned.  The Skype video call is almost done being edited and should be up on the website this weekend.  We want to thank all the kind people of Cambodia for all their wonderful support and help in coordinating our trip.  We have made several friends and were greatful for the opportunity.

Coming Soon:
Noodles and Sam have several projects in the works, we are excited about the fun items we'll have on the website real soon.  Some items to look out for will be a new teach/parent page, on this page you will be able to find lesson plans.  Those plans will incorporate the use of The Adventures Of Noodles And Sam website, they are designed to be interactive.  We are also going to start a book club for all our friends because Noodles and Sam think it is really important for kids to read daily, we will have discussions and book reviews. 
The Adventures Of Noodles And Sam will also have an online store where you can purchase Noodles and Sam merchandise and specialty items that will be offered exclusively thru The Adventures Of Noodles And Sam.  A portion of all sales will go back to charity, stay tuned for details. 

Feedback:
We have a question for all our followers out there, we have started to put the adventures on both a website page with pictures and captions and a learning video.  Is there a preference for one or the other?  We would appreicate some feedback, we want to make sure we are putting the information Noodles and Sam bring home in the format people like to read or watch.  

We want to say a great big Noodles and Sam hello to our friends in Hawaii-USA, Brazil, France and Canada I am sure we will be visiting those places real soon. We want to thank all our friends and followers from all over the world for all their support and great emails.  Keep them coming, we love to recieve mail.  Thank you again!

Remember learning is fun!,

Lots of Things Going On!

Noodles and Sam say hello,
They have been so busy getting ready to come home we haven't spoken to them much the last few days. They have been in a part of Cambodia with no internet and little phone access. This has been there longest trip yet; although they are doing some great things we are missing them and can't wait until they get home on Thursday!
They have a lot of exciting things going on so we have been helping them out here while they are gone. Some of the things we need your help with.....
International Skype Video
As you probably know our skype video call to Cambodia went great but wow, editing the video is way more time consuming than we expected. Let us know if you have any tips or suggestions, the help would be great. Keep in mind we use a Mac.
Around The World
All of your e-mails have been great. Noodles and Sam would love to come visit you and learn about where you live. Remember that kids and families all over the world want to see what makes where you live special no matter how big or small your city is. The more information the better. We would love to know if there is a learning or travel adventure you haven't seen. Let us know at info@noodlesandsam.com !
Haiti
We are pretty excited to share some news with Noodles and Sam when they return from Cambodia. They have had a desire to see Haiti and hopefully bring some attention to the long road of healing that is still ahead of them. They have been wanting to raise some money for the kids there like they did for the kids in Cambodia. It is a desire they pray about everyday. We found out yesterday that our church will be sending a medical team there next month. We spoke to the missions pastor about taking Noodles and Sam with them. Hopefully it will work out, if not we will wait for the next opportunity and keep the people there in our prayers.
UPS
We mentioned a while back that UPS invited Noodles and Sam to take a learning adventure tour of their 3rd largest facility. We took the tour and they were great but due to security reasons we weren't allowed to take the pictures. UPS took all of the pictures during the tour and explained everything as we went along. Unfortunately we have never heard from them again. We hope their tour team is okay and we hope they will eventually send us the pictures so we can share them with you. It is really strange.
Remember to Vote
Next week Noodles and Sam will be visiting the Mayor of our city as well as meeting all of the city council members. They were learning about government just before they left and how important it is to vote. One thing they reminded The Noodles and Sam team about was to make sure you study before you vote. Make sure you know what you are voting for before you get there. They will be voting so I am sure they will have pictures for you.
