Easter Fun

We tried to get a picture of Noelle on Easter in her 'Easter dress' but she was too busy running around and couldn't seem to hold still for the camera. So here are few Corey was able to capture. 

Later that afternoon we went to Nana & Papa's for dinner and to have an Easter Egg Hunt.  Not that it's much of a hunt when you're One but I think she had lots of fun.  I wasn't sure she was going to understand what was going on but after we showed her that she needed to pick up the egg and put it in the basket there was no stopping her.  She managed to carry her basket (which seemed to be about as tall as her) around the yard and any egg she came across went into her basket.

                                     



Corey has given her the nickname "Danger Girl" whenever she does something a bit risky.  As you can see she was going for an egg that was at the end of the bricks...instead of walking up to it directly she decided she need to crawl across them. 

Walking with Nana and grabbing an egg wedged in the lower branch.

Counting how many eggs she'd gathered.

We had fun and the weather couldn't have been any more perfect. 

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!
