Riverbanks Zoo!

I'll have more details soon on my blog, but just LOVED these pictures, so wanted to go ahead & post them here.

Happy Valentine's Day (and VDay +1)

We had a really great Valentine's Day--we gave Noah his card, his bright pink Peeps Hearts (and he ate 2 before we really knew what happened); then I made pink sort-of-heart-shaped pancakes. We sort of lazed around, then made cupcakes (some regular, some dinosaur ones), and then Noah, Patrick and I decorated them. Or, more accurately, Noah put some icing on a cupcake, then licked it off. Then grabbed another cupcake, put icing on it, and licked it off. When he started reaching for the 3rd cupcake, we put the kibosh on it and suggested he just continue decorating and eating the icing off the ones he already had. We took some up to Grandma & Grandpa, where Noah got another card and more sugar, and then we headed home.

The family shot originated when Patrick, Noah and Mouse were under the blanket, and for some reason, just seeing a part of Mouse (her head, her tail) while the rest of her body was hidden under the blanket just sent Noah into fits of laughter. So then, he and Patrick were "hiding" and then I set up the tripod quickly to try to capture the moment. The picture from today is the result of shopping on-line, looking for deals. I love this hat & mitten set! Enjoy!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

They've been forecasting it all day, and I guess they were right! Started about an hour ago, and it doesn't seem to be letting up. Noah & I had fun running around in the snow!

Happy Pre-Valentine's Day!

2/11/10 Today is Noah's class Valentine's Day party, so we took a quick picture before leaving today. He was posing with all of his buds.

Snow Pics & February shots

Okay, clamoring public--I think it's safe to say that the "a-day" part of the title is a lofty goal, one that I don't make. I try....I really do. I grab the camera, or the phone, and I snap pictures dutifully. But when it comes down to plugging in the camera, downloading the pics to Picassa, then going into My Pictures folder to resize (since they take 14 days to download to Blogger if I DON'T resize, and I really don't have time to wait that long...), then flip, correct red-eye, etc...well, sometimes with everything else we have going on, that just sorta falls to the bottom of the To Do list. It seems that no matter how organized I try to be, when it comes to the little things (blogging, vacuuming, filing...) I fail miserably. I'll try to blog on that on my own time & in my own blog--y'all don't want to hear about it! You just want to see pictures of Noah, so here they are! Enjoy!

1/30/2010 Playing in the ice! Looks like snow, but lots of small, round ice pellets.

1/30/2010 Daddy & Noah in the snow/ice!


1/30/2010 Enjoying a Popsicle after playing in the snow. Mouse is just chillin'. Noah thought this was the coolest thing ever, Mousey sitting on his lap.


2/1/2010 Kitty torture. Mouse tried to hide from Noah and his balloon by going into eating cubby. She should have known she couldn't escape.



2/1/2010 All ready for St. Patrick's day!
