Noelle Update

So to be equal opportunity here I must post updates for both girls so that they don't need as much counseling when they're older.

Noelle started preschool. She likes it. She won't tell me what they do there or what they talk about, but she's happy to go and is happy when I pick her up. She's very excited to be going on a trip in a few days to see her Great Grammy and Great Papa, and her regular Grammy and Papa will be there with us too. She's been very full of funny stories lately and one of them has to do with a monkey that poops either on a glass slipper or on Uncle Daniel, just depends on the day.

On this particular day she came in and told me she was going to be a "gymmastic." I corrected her and said, "A gymnast?" She said, "No Mom, a gymmastic." She then asked if I'd take her picture and told me she would smile "like this." And she did.

Notice that her leotard is inside out and backwards.
Here she's playing in the water fountains at the water tower in downtown Gilbert. Its a new favorite spot that has great food and people like to walk around and hang out. Noelle was very concerned that she didn't have her swim suit. We told her it was fine to just play in her clothes and that we would take them off before we got in the car. It took her a minute to realize we were serious.

Sydney Update

The only update is that she's still pretty cute, oh and she's starting to smile, but I couldn't capture it on camera because I'm too slow and I can't make funny faces and talk like a moron and take pictures all at the same time. Sorry I'm just not that cool.

A half smile - she and I look very similar as babies and if I ever get my scanner to work again I'll show you the proof.

A favorite dress; my favorite because its cute, Boo's favorite because its not pink.

And then there was Boo...

This is Boo as his dad reincarnate.

Artwork

My sister came up to me and said "Do you want to see the art work that Noelle did on our tile?" My first reaction, which she could see on my face was, Oh no, what kind of pen or marker did she get a hold of and what kind of damage could it have caused? I didn't think this because she causes lots of damage at home, its just that Uncle Vic wouldn't be too happy to find something like that on his tile. However, Auntie assured me it wasn't anything bad.

The feet always make me laugh when I see this picture.

She said she found the art work after she had been in her bathroom blow drying her

hair. When she asked Noelle who it was a picture of she said, "Its you Auntie."

New Do

I've been thinking about getting a new hair-do. I acutally have an appointment for Friday. Let me know which look you think is best. I'll let you know which Noelle vetoed.

VETOED!

Looks like my grandma.

This picture looks just like some of my LeFevre cousins.

Classic

Today while snacking on popcorn in the Target cafeteria there was a strange man sitting eating popcorn and having a soda with his sunglasses on and a serious accessory issue. His toupee was hideously obvious. Besides that, he was creeping me out because he was staring at someone. I couldn't tell if it was one of the checkers or just the women shopping at the Target. Needless to say he wasn't interested in me and my motherly ways.

Note to Boo: You will never have a toupee, no matter how bald and how big your head gets, it just won't happen.

Sydney - 5 Weeks

Don't you just want to eat her up?

Utah '09

This summer's trip was no different from summers of our past. We filled it with friends and family, lots of food, and of course a few really good laughs. Thank to you all for taking time to visit with us. And for those we didn't get to see, maybe next time.

Noelle loved being able to be outside without melting or getting extremely dusty. I hope her outdoor time will tide her over until the Arizona summer comes to an end.

Thanks Carmen for driving down from ID to see us.

Boo's girls

Boo Berry & Billy Boy

Noelle was a rock-star all day during the wedding festivities. She was even able to be happy after falling out of the photo booth. Emma and John had a photo booth at their reception (pretty much the coolest thing I've ever seen at a wedding), Noelle and I were getting ready to have our pictures taken together when she climbed in and sat back ready to go. However, the back of the booth just had a curtain and she rolled right out. Poor thing.

Actually she was a rock-star for almost the whole trip. We might actually survive each other.
