Bye! Bye!

Noelle loves to climb into the bottom space of her book case and close the doors. A couple of days ago I was putting laundry away in her room. She comes up to me and gives me a kiss. Then she walks over to the shelf, turns around and starts waving and saying, "Bye! Bye!" Then she climbs in and closes the door. She is so stinking cute I want to chew on her. I know I am her Mommy but she is so adorable, it makes me crazy!

What Happens In Vegas Stays In Vegas

Well, we did go to Vegas but nothing really happened there that needs to stay. My BFF is moving home to Seattle. Melissa and her family have lived in Vegas for the past three years. Jeremiah got a new job in Seattle so they are moving back. This is bitter sweet because they will no longer be living within driving distance so visits will not be as easy. But, they do give me an excuse to go back to the Pacific Northwest, which I am so excited for! We did not do anything over the top, which was fine with me. The girls had fun playing together (when Noelle was not screaming and being totally unbearable!) We just wanted to spend time together and visit. We took a drive up to Mt. Charleston which was less than an hour away from their home and over 30 degrees cooler! It was a luscious 75 degrees. We packed a yummy picnic from Trader Joe's and just enjoyed the cool air. The girls went on a walk with their Daddy and the family Dog, MoJo and had fun talking to us on the Walkie-Talkies's. Before we knew it we had to pack up and go back to the scorching weather. We were there less than 4 days and the time went too fast! Melissa and Jeremiah celebrated their 9th wedding anniversary that week. CONGRATULATIONS! Wow how time goes by. We had fun renting movies and we even got to have a night out to dinner and a Movie (with just a little stop over at the GAP) with just the two Mommies. We cannot wait for them to buy a new home so that we can come visit and help them move in!

Happy Father's Day!

Aaron had a really nice second Father's Day (he told me he did!) We dined on a repeat birthday breakfast. It was just so yummy we had to do it again. I swear the Disney princess nightgown she has on is a hand me down. After breakfast we opened Father's Day gifts. Aaron did really well since TJ Maxx had some really great deals! It was a very nice Sunday that ended with a yummy dinner of Carne Asada and all the fixins'. He was able to just sit around, nap, and watch a couple movies. It was every Father's dream!


What a great Daddy you have been over the past 18 months! Here is your fist picture together, on the day when our adventure began!




Eatin' Cheese

Last weekend we were fortunate enough to go and eat some free burgers (Thank You Ecolab!) at Fuddruckers. I actually had a baked potato and salad while the other two members of my family had cheeseburgers. Aaron got cheese sauce to dip his fries in. Noelle finds dipping things SOOOOO exciting. She had a great time dipping everything she could get her hands on into the cheese. These items include but are not limited to french fries, watermelon, grapes, bread and her own fingers. French fries are not something we indulge in around here, so it was really a treat! I am sorry to also say that it seems to be that I am raising a double dipper! I guess there are worse things you can be in life. Her Auntie could not be prouder of her love for this dairy product and her ability to say the word, CHEEEEEEEEEESE!
