Happy Thanksgiving!

Noelle enjoyed having her Grammy here over Thanksgiving and enjoyed Grammy's cooking! Especially the cranberry mousse!



"I'm cute so give me more please!"


"More! Now!"


"I love mousse and pie and truffle!"


"What do you mean I've had enough?"

Sorry I've been MIA for a while. Noelle got very sick from her MMR vaccine and ended up in the ER with a 105 degree temperature. She developed a mild case of the measles and is just getting back to normal.

Also, we have a very sick kitty on our hands. Gizmo has an incurable virus that is killing him. We are awaiting test results but the outlook is grim as he is going downhill fast. We will most likely have to put him down this weekend to end his suffering.

Thankful he will be in a better place and that Noelle is recovering.

Paging Dr. Little!

Her two loves right now, that stethoscope and gold fish!




She was more terrified than ever yesterday to go to her one year check-up! As soon as I took her clothes off and she got a touch of that wax paper on the table she knew what was coming and basically went bat shit crazy! She absolutely freaked when the doctor came in. He doesn't even give the shots and I think it's funny that he says "I'm not that bad guy, it's the nurse that is the bad guy," right to Noey. Someday she is going to figure that out and hate nurses! She is 20 pounds, 4 ounces and 31 inches long! The shots didn't seem to effect her as much this time, which is good!

In other non-Noey news...check these out! They are key covers that we found at Tokyo Discount that match all 4 of our cats! I am going to incorporate them into their new stockings somehow!

Busy Day!

We started off our day at the craft show. It was so cold! Dave said Noey looked like an old lady from Jersey, decked out in her pink velour!


A baby shower followed and then it was on to the annual horse jump. I didn't go last year, as I had just had Noey.I was shocked this year that they had added a light show and rock n'roll music. Let me just say how much Noey loved that!!! It took forever to get started. The riders walked the course, then they had to rake the course, then the light show and introductions. The worst part is they did a "horseless horse jump." Young "jumpers" had to run and jump over the fence. Ridiculous. We finally saw some real jumping action at 8:45pm. We watched just a few before leaving.

We went to Steak N'Shake before the show. I highly recommend the caramel apple milkshake. Delish. Noey likes it too!


Howdy Ya'll!










Petrified of that there tractor!


Are you ready to rumble?!?! Seriously? The music was so stinking loud. It's their "World Finals" and 50K is at stake and they feel the need to go all out now!




Alright...show's on! Wait, we are now interrupted by the horseless horse jump. It is getting dangerously close to Noey's bedtime and mine for that matter and I have yet to see a horse jump!


A refusal right in front of us! I was worried Noey was going to throw her hat or bink at a horse and cause problems!


After a few jumpers we took our sleepy selves home. I think Noey will enjoy it in another few years!

First Steps!

Noey just took em! 4:25pm!
