Our Little Addict

If this is her vice, we are living in the wrong town!





Gimme those buttons!

Jim's Spring Visit

Jim came to visit last weekend. These are the pics from my camera. I'll have to dig up more from Dave's.

We got Noey a booster seat to eat in when she is downstairs. We eat most of our meals downstairs so it works for us. It's the same seat the sitter has so she is familiar with it and likes to sit in it and watch the fish tank. It reclines like she is ready to blast off into space!









Noey in a new spring outfit I got her. We had a brief cold snap but I had to buy her some short sleeved outfits in 3-6 month size to transition her to her summer 6-9 month clothes. She is such a supermodel.


Out to dinner at Blueberry Hill. Remember the cold snap, yeah there was some snow mixed in with the cold rain so the hat had to go on!




I had fried chicken and waffles. I'll admit it was better the first time. They messed up the chicken this time.


Shopping at the swap meet. She was shaking her head no most of the time and smiling at everyone!


She wanted down and in the pool!


Passed out after swimming.


Refuel with crepes! We found a new Crepe Shack and each had the "Elvis" crepe. Peanut butter, bananas, honey, and ice cream. Did you know that neither Jim or Dave had ever had a peanut butter and banana combo before, ever?! That is just craziness. These are "Japanese style" and that is why they are rolled up like an ice cream cone. Yummy!!

Some Old and Some New

I just powered up the battery on my Nikon to take a few pics and found a bunch that never got posted!

This is back before Noelle arrived and the vet told us to let our boys explore her room. Explore they did!








This is when I was packing my hospital bag. Ninja was pretty sure he was coming with me to pick up his human.


We finally got our "artwork" up on Noey's wall. Dave and I made our handprints back in the summer but had to wait until January to do Noelle's.


This is our new washer and dryer. I love them. So does Neko.


This is the guinea pig we bought Allison. He/she is all packed and ready to return with Jim. I should probably pick one up for Noey too since this is as close to the real thing she is ever going to get. Her daddy is totally against the idea!


Noelle is drooling up a storm lately!


She wanted Neko in the worst way! It took her 15 minutes to scoot about an inch! We've been working on practice petting the cats. At this point, Neko is the only one that will have anything to do with it. We are working on being gentle and not grabbing handfuls of hair! I know she doesn't know any better but I see no harm in starting as early as possible with this!!






This is our version of "family stick figures" for our van. We are going to be the envy of everyone in town!

Easter Bunny 2011

We needed a happy break today so we went to see the Easter Bunny.

Trouble....trouble, trouble, trouble.

You know that All-State commercial where they sing that song? That is Noey's theme song. I sing it to her daily.

Look at this cute innocent face. She would never do anything naughty...


Yeah, right! She is up to no good! Batten down the hatches!

The Happy Swimmer

One happy little swimmer! I will give you one guess as to who bought the hot pink swimsuit because I know you don't need two guesses!


Noelle is really enjoying swimming class. Again today, I wasn't sure if it was going to be a good swim day. I was crabby, she was tired, and Dave was sore. But we pressed on and got our butts to class.

Noelle is also way more alert than most of the kids in class. There are 10 month olds that look dazed and confused and put no effort into class.


She is all about splashing now which makes for an "interesting" bath time!!


Splashing or conducting?


Let me go mom!


Watch me swim!


Yo, yo, yo...whad up, foo's? She looks gangsta in this pic. I think she was annoyed with the screaming Asian kid. I was.

Dave's Back

Here is a look at the hardware that is now inside of Dave! He is like the Terminator!
