The Wiggles sing a song about dressing up in style.  Well, Noelle had to get all dressed up to finish watching the Wiggles.  We rolled down the sand hill and got invited to Dorothy’s dance party, cowgirl style! 

Noelle was confused why I was taking pictures of her and not into the Wiggles myself.  Noelle is very serious when she watches her program.  She’s concentrating in all of these pictures – it’s too funny!

First Flippy!

We went to play in the park and see the progress on the new Cowboys stadium Saturday evening.  We have had such a great weekend playing together!

We spent the day yesterday with Amanda and Bailey in Keller.  The kids were holding hands when we turned around; they are such sweet little friends!

After lunch, we had a blast looking at houses together!  Noelle immediately took off her shoes when she saw all the dress-up shoes lined up on the stage.

One of the kid’s rooms had a little mock stage.  Noelle and Bailey were singing and hamming it up big time!

American Idol 2030?

Lots and lots of "sangin" and goofing around.

Thanks Phil & Stephanie for Noelle’s ukelele!!!

Giddy for Archuleta!

May 21st, 2008

We are big American Idol fans in the Pond household; However, this year we are a house divided.  Noelle is so crazy about David Archuleta (she screams "I love David" every time David A comes on), where Mike and I prefer Cook’s artistry.  I think Noelle will win with the teeny-bopper vote to back her up, but I’m still pulling for Cook.

Last night we watched the finale together, and Noelle started waving her hands with the crowd.  It was the cutest thing in the world; she is just so precious.  We got a little bit of it on video for you to see!  :)  

"Daddy, Hand!"

Any time we turn music on, Noelle goes over to Mike and says, "Daddy, hand" and pulls him on to her dance floor for a dance.  It’s the sweetest thing!

IMG_4465   IMG_4455

Sunday we did some "tappy tappy" with her first pair of tap shoes!

IMG_4431-1  IMG_4458

Noelle loves to hug and kiss, and we treasure her kind little heart.  Her spirit is so tender and caring, and we are having so much fun being her parents! 

Happy Birthday, Jonathan!

Noelle throwing up dukes at the bubbles, which is a really funny picture considering she knows nothing about boxing!

Jillian and Noelle did it!  We couldn’t believe they actually hung on the bar all by themselves – GO GIRLS!

IMG_4313  IMG_4324 

Jumpy, jumpy, jumpy (Noelle was singing this the entire time they were on the inflatable).

Jonathan’s grandma made the best cake – it was so yummy!  Kristen threw such a fun birthday!  She even made a collage of Jonathan’s first two years – it was all so great!
