March Happenings

A couple of weeks ago Noelle tried to escape into the street. I went to grab her arm and she promptly jerked it away causing her to fall to her hand and knees and then onto her nose. The worst part of it all was that she was already heading down hill so consequently the momentum caused her to skid to a halt while on her nose and forehead. The pic is just a day after and the scab got much worse before it got better. But you get the idea--poor girl.



Here she is posing in our flower bed. Spring is here (we hope to stay) and that means lots and lots of weeding. I'm so happy there are some beautiful spring flowers already for us to enjoy.




Aunt April came for a visit...

We had a good time visiting with her and got her and all the cousins together for lunch one day.



Check out Noelle with a new hair-do. Think we may have to borrow that wig for Halloween. :o)



Some more cousin fun, I walked into the room and saw this. I thought it was quite funny and the fact that Noelle was trying to rock him in the chair just made me laugh.

Just some pics

Here are some random pics we've taken lately of Noelle. I love this one cause it looks like she's taking the picture--if only she were that talented. :o)



She's already learning how to play chess...


Climbing around on a little boat.




Going for a ride...


Checking out some musical instruments.



Trying to get her to pose for some pictures....looking pretty cute here.

Having some fun.

Happy Valentine's

Sometimes I think I'm a little bit spoiled...I woke up last tuesday to find that Corey was already up and in the kitchen. I rescued a crying girl and went into the kitchen to find Corey sitting at the table, huh, what is he doing I wondered. And this is what I saw...



(minus the popcorn bowl & picture frame). Instead of buying me flowers he made me flowers out of my new favorite M&M's (dark chocolate & coconut). How clever I must say...and then sitting next to it was a tablet of sorts--a Nook Color to be exact. Now, keep in mind I don't have any of the new gadgets...ie smart phone, e-reader, ipod, etc. Needless to say, I have loved it and just about can't put it down. I've already read one book on it and have many more downloaded. I've also rediscovered Sukoku--so fun. See, spoiled. Who wouldn't love M&M flowers and a Nook?

Poor Corey, he's not nearly as spoiled. All he got was a popcorn bownl, some candy bars, a picture frame for a pic he's been wanting to put on his desk & some homemade cinnamon rolls (which are not pictured). Maybe one of these days I'll be on par with him. Thanks honey, I love you!

Happy Birthday

Last week we had a Birthday party for a little lady who just turned One! It was lots of fun. I made a cake I found on Pinterest and thought it turned out pretty colorful, as was the goal. Here are some pics of the cake, party and a video of the birthday girl eating her cake. She must have really enjoyed it because when I took the cake away to slice it up she began to holler. :o)






PS Video to come later, if I can get it to upload...
