Mother's Day Camping

Aaron bought me a really nice Mother's day gift. We have been thinking about buying one but thought it was a while off. Then I saw a used one on Craigslist that had actually never been used by it's owners and was too good of a deal to pass up! What is it? It's a Tent Trailer! Yea! We took it to the beach on it's maiden voyage. Despite the fact that it was FREEZING and WINDY we had a good time.

Noelle running around after Noelle. Poor Evynn could not get rid of her tag-a-long the entire time.

Noelle loved her bed.

She could not get enough of walking the dog. That is Auntie and Unc's mo-ho in the background.

We got an hour or two of sunshine on Saturday and we had fun playing Scattegories. I cannot believe I posted this horrible picture of me!
I love this picture!!!

Daddy and his girl playing on the rocks.

Most of us know Aaron and that he is really silly, actually a lot like a child himself! He always makes up little fun words and songs. When he comes home from work he plays and tickles Noelle, when he starts tickling her he says, "Oh, gee-gee-bop!"

Mean Mother

Why am I a mean Mother? Because when my precious two year old climbs behind her bed and gets stuck, I laugh and take pictures.

What Is That Child Doing?

She is licking a window blind with dried crusty frosting on it.

I Didn't Think We Were A Huge TV Family...

...but I guess Noelle has shown us otherwise. She has her own 'words' for things.

POUNDS! = Biggest Loser (this show is long over and she still asks for it)

PEOPLE! = Little People Big World (we never watch this so I don't know how she got that)

BLUE! = Jeopardy (when I am getting dinner ready I love to listen to Jeopardy)

A! = Wheel of Fortune (she's in bed before this is over so who knows about this)

What are we teaching her?

Grandma's Doctor Appointment

Last week we spent the day with Grandma taking her to run errands and having lunch. Grandma has a disease called Macular Degeneration which has caused to lose her site, she is legally blind. She a special pair of glasses that help her see some things really close up. When we were out and about somehow she lost her glasses. We were so upset, she cannot function without them. We immediately called the eye doctor and she got on appt for the next day. We went and picked Grandma up and went to the appt we were there for THREE hours! I thought I was going to die. Noelle actually did amazing! She just played and played.

They had a little house that she was crazy about.

We took funny pictures of each other.

My foot.

After two hours I could not handle it anymore so we went and walked around until Grandma was ready to go. Luckily, they were able to order her a new pair which will be here next week. YEA!

Never Turn Your Back On A Two Year Old

I answered the phone and was talking for a few minutes. I hear Noelle playing in the background but it did not sound like anything out of the ordinary. Meanwhile, she got a roll of ribbon out of the closet and she wrapped the whole spool around the table and chairs.

The things kids come up with!

Aaron thought she was taking a nap but she was actually in the office playing with a marker. Mama's little Zebra.

Lucky Me!

Look what came in the mail from my very good friend Julie. I love belated birthday presents. It goes perfectly with our couch! This is the very first quilt that has been made just for me and I guess it is the first one I have ever owned. Julie is one of those people that is crafty and good at everything she tries. She also flew to California and helped me sew Noelle's crib set before she was born.

Thank you, Julie! I will love it forever.

A Night Away

Aaron and Noelle went away for the night and left me at home! They went camping overnight with some friends and I stayed behind to get some things done around the house. I've been doing some uninterrupted house cleaning. I can get so much done by myself but I do miss them very much.

Aaron made it home before we did yesterday afternoon and had already started packing. It was so cute! There is nothing hotter than a man doing housework or taking care of a baby. When we walked in Aaron had her bed, her little chair, a sippy cup, some milk, and baby wipes in the car. He said, "I got a bag for the out to pack for the baby and the wipeeeees all ready to go, what else do I need for her?" So stinkin' cute!

The Love Of An Auntie

I love my nieces and nephews so much, words do not suffice! I am so proud of their accomplishments.

Evynn is on the honor roll at school. Not just the regular honor roll she also received an award of distinction. You have never met a happier person than Evynn, she always greets me with a great smile and a big huge. My favorite thing about her is the text messages and voice mails she leaves for me. My sweet niece is an amazing little girl and is a true blessing in my life. This is Evynn's awesome big brother, Matthew. We were able to go to his baseball game and see what an incredible athlete he is. Matthew is so stinkin' cute out on that field. I wanted to run out there and smother him in kisses. Matthew also does very well in school.

Noelle LOVED watching "Matt-chew" play baseball, but, I think her favorite thing was the churro Daddy got her

Lunch with 'M'

We drove to meet Auntie 'M' at work and have lunch. It was a long drive and I paid waaaaaaay too much for my salad but, whatever, the company was good.
