“MOO!”

Daddy lovin’ and airplanes 

After Bailey’s party on Saturday, we took Zane out so his parents could go on a date… it was fun practicing having two (just trying it out)… all night long we heard the question, “How far apart are they?” 

Zane on the slide and Noelle tickling a random foot!

 Zane’s eyes tell the story!

Kiss the cow…

Clap for a great day!

On the way to Bailey’s birthday party… Noelle is reading the invite!

Noelle giving Bailey “kisses!”

The kids at Bailey’s birthday party eating a wonderful lunch!

Bailey the Birthday Boy and cute Will who fell and did NOT like the mud.

Problem solved!

 Noelle’s first popsicle!  She made the funniest faces in between bites because the popsicle was so cold!

Noelle waving to Bailey’s grandparents (thinking they are all there just to watch her – haha)!

Noelle saying, “All done!”  She’s talking up a storm these days!

Chef Bailey and Noelle cooking for the party guests…

Mommy gets a kiss…

Okay there girly, that will do!

Bailey and Cousin Emily walking us to our car – Mommy Amanda and Daddy Scott behind – thanks for having us over guys and HAPPY BIRTHDAY BAILEY!!!

When I went to wake Noelle up this morning, this is how I found her – I could just pinch myself!  Every day is heaven with our little one!  There’s no greater joy!

We had our good friends Sushant and Hiral, Kulpreet (Gugu), Sanjeev, and Ananya over for supper and games last night.  We played pictionary after lots of great food (Mike and I make a great team in the kitchen)… we laughed so hard and had a great time!  Noelle said “Yay” and clapped every time we guessed the picture!  Ananya learned about “safety violations” in school – she’s four years old and so smart!  Anyway, tonight was great!

Princess Noelle went with Zane, Ali, and mommy on Tuesday to see Clifford’s Really Big Movie and to Burger King afterward.  Noelle has been trying on her crown all week – it’s really funny, she wears it around the house all the time.  In the picture on the right she is eating a big grape – our girl LOVES to eat (all the time)!!!

*Note – Noelle has her first bruise on the right side of her head above her eye, you can’t really miss it.  There’s no big story, just tripped up and fell on a little desk in the guest bedroom.  She’s a tough girl and hardly ever cries when she falls, but this one brought on a couple of tears.

Next Tuesday, we are going to see Happy Feet as a part of the Family Fun Film Festival.  If anyone would like to go, shoot me an email.  We would love to have you come with us! 

Heather Feather and Noelle swimming together on Monday!

The Randy Rogers Band played at the J’ville rodeo this weekend, so John, Coach Jones, and Curtis made a weekend out of it and invited Mike and me to share their box! 

Mike having a good time!

John took a pic of Mike and me – it’s been a while!

There’s something beautifully patriotic about a small town rodeo… definitely brought back lots of memories with good old friends.

You’ve got to be crazy to be a rodeo clown!

And even crazier to ride a bull…

We had a great weekend in the country.  Noelle stayed with her Momma Kay and Grand Papa and had a wonderful time!  The concert was a blast, and we danced the night away. 

Our dear friend Darline passed away this morning.  She was a wonderful neighbor to us at Chesterfield in Arlington.  We will miss her and her spunk for life so much!  May God bless you sweet Darline as you were a blessing to us!
