After Tate’s party, Mom and Dad met us at Mercados for supper!  It was fun and delicious!

The car ride home was so quiet!  I love how Anna Kate’s purse is sparkling all over her face, and Noelle fell asleep with her sunglasses on.

The morning of Tate’s birthday party, Noelle told Anna Kate, "We’re going to see your boyfriend today, sweet baby girl."  Mike and I were cracking up!

These were my favorite favorite pics from the weekend birthday in East Texas!

Happy 1st Birthday, Tate Kelly!!!

Noelle seriously said, "Let Tate’s First Birthday Begin!" and blew the trumpet!

The Phone Song!

May 4th, 2010

IMG_8625

To start off every road trip we have to listen to Taylor Swift’s "You Belong With Me," otherwise known as "The Phone Song" in our family.  Noelle always sings like she’s talking on the phone because the lyrics say “you’re on the phone”… lol…

Noelle calls this her "Caroline" outfit, because after meeting Caroline, she had to get the "match outfit!"  

Self-Portrait

Noelle drew these two pictures on 4/29.  She even wrote her name all by herself on her self-portrait.  She brought them to me and said, "I drew pictures of me and Anna Kate, Mom."  When I saw them, I said, "Wow, Noelle, these are really cool!!!"  Honestly, she draws better than me already!  No joke!

This is my wedding dress, cut down and made into a baby dedication dress.  Rara and Poppa did this for me when I got pregnant with Noelle, and it has become a family treasure, so sentimental and pure.  To think, my baby girls are wearing the exact dress I wore when I vowed to love their daddy forever and ever… melts my heart!
