Birthday all Weekend!

This girl is opening presents every time we turn around!












We went to "The Landings" for breakfast.


They serve airplane pancakes!

Party Time!

Noey was the first to try out the Cookie Corn Hole before the party started! Dave made Cookie and I made the felt cookies!


This is the birthday banner that took me 6 hours to make with my Cricut! Will use the instructions first next time!


Party favors!


The kids table, before all hell broke loose!










Helping Aunt Sally!


More presents...for the girl who has everything!






















Playing pin the snuff on Snuffy!






Time for cake!




She liked Cookie's cookie the best!








We had some problems with the pinata...


Which led to this...


It's not a party until something gets broken! Way to go Dad!

New Necklace

A student made this lei for me at the end of last year. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that it became a cat toy very quickly when I brought it home. I had totally forgotten about it until Noelle dug it out of the cat stroller the other day. Now she won't take it off. She wants to wear it morning, noon and night! I'm surprised to not see her tangled in it!

College Week!

It's college week again at my school. Noey got into the spirit with me on Monday morning! Go T-Birds!

My Little Pony

This is the pony I saw at Home Goods last week. I told Dave then (trying to guilt him into buying it) that Home Goods is a store where a product is here today, gone tomorrow. We found that out yesterday when we went back for a bench that was gone. I pointed out the pony that Daddy needed to buy. At the checkout I was voicing my disgust with missing out on the bench. Dave asked about the pony. We decided to go back and look at him again. Well, two guys were back there, each with a pony in hand. Dave gasped, knowing his ass was grass if they took that pony. I just blurted out, "that's the one I want!" and thankfully he handed it over. I don't know who he was more afraid of, me, or making Noey cry as she was squealing and reaching out for it! Luckily for him, he did the right thing. I think they took the other one for a kid in their family. Noey would not take her eyes off of me and the pony and gleefully tried him out at home. Any suggestions on a name for this here pony?

He'll look fab in Noey's new playroom!


She bounces up and down on him and hugs his neck. Too bad she wouldn't pet the real pony on Friday!! We'll take her back when it is daylight and buy a couple rides!


Can you tell I have a thing for ponies? If only my parents had bought me one when I was little...sigh.
