Been Awhile

We've been busy - and its been crazy - oh and we've been up north - and our landscaping has started - and we spent 200 bucks on the cat - and I had my company picnic - and we've been planning for Vegas - and we've played in our splash blow up thing - and watched the fireworks from across the man made lake here -and we've played in the lake - and we have taken Noah to see Toy Story 3 not once - but TWICE! We are headed up north for the fourth of July - nothing like a little Higgins Lake to make you a little happier in life!

Memorial Day Weekend

We headed up to the cabin this weekend for some much needed relaxation, sleep and movie watching. The weather was awesome. Decided Sunday that Noah needed a small pool up there so Sunday morning we went to Kmart to buy him one of the small plastic ones. Filled it when we got home- and then decided while it warmed up we should go to the lake. packed a few things and headed on down. Noah loved the water, he took a long stoll out to the middle of the swim area and back with Daddy and had fun playing in the sand with grandma. Although, he wasn't too fond of the sand in between his toes- but I can't blame him - I'm not either. We came back from the lake, he played in his pool for awhile and then crashed for an hour nap (it probably would have been longer but we had a gust of wind blow a bunch of doors shut that thats what woke him up! Didn't do much else that evening - it was muggy that night so it made for harder sleeping conditions. Yesterday on our way home we stopped at the outlet stores and then came home for laundry time- fun stuff I tell you! Hope you had a great memorial day weekend!

Busy Weekend!

SO - on Saturday Noah decided enough was enough with his crib - so he climbed out of it...many times - we decided that climbing over the top probably wasn't safe- so off we went to buy a Toddler Bed. He is so little in it! And the bed is so little to top it off - but, he loves it - that's all that matters. Over the weekend we finished the rubber mulch around Noah's swingset - it looks awesome - and I think he has become the envy of all the neighborhood kids- since he made a new friend Nick - the neighbor kid across the street who is two years older than him and wanted to come play on the swingset. Noah was in 7th heaven with someone to play with!

This weekend I also made a card for my friend Stephanie's graduation. Nothing too extravagent - but it was nice to play for a change. We also saw some hot air baloons fly right over the house Sunday night - quite the sight!

Required: Two moderately handy people

So- we bought this swingset - awesome - cedar - the best one for the best price. The instructions say that it will require two moderately handy individuals. um - yeah - no problem. So, we had 5 at one point - but hey - whose counting? And, we still don't have a swingset. And, I am amazed after working on it with just my hubby yesterday we are still married - because it should also have a warning - caution - may cause yelling, screaming and walking away. So, by day two all we managed to have is the tower (a completed tower) - but no swings, or other stuff yet - why? Because I told him that the bolt wasnt big enough....but what do I know?? Here are some pics from the weekend fun. Soon it will be done - maybe.....

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!

We had a good one- had brunch at a really nice banquet facility in the area and Noah got me a gift card for Michael's. Also, put all the scrapbook stuff away from the crop at the Mega Meet. Had fun on Friday doing that. I finished a 2-page spread for Noah's birthday layout - which Val told me that I have to post. It's not completely finished - still need journaling- but here it is. Also, I'm posting the fantastic new home card that I got in the mail from Val.

Nes House, Noah's Two!!

Moving...it's crazy...it's stressful....it's expensive....and it makes you touch every single thing you own and wonder- why do I own that? Somewhere in the midst of packing and moving, Noah turned TWO!!! We celebrated at Chuck E. Cheese where he was VERY overwhelmed by the kids and the big giant rat. But, he got lots of cool stuff - and I am so behind on the thank you's and the moving announcements -

Anyway- a short tour of the bottom level of the house- minus the giant playroom - since it looks a little like Toys R Us threw up in there right now.

Been Super Busy

Last weekend when we went to the house all the carpet was installed. It looked nice- although the carpet in Noah's room was a little more blue than we had anticipated. We also went to an Egg Hunt at the model where we met a couple of new neighbors and Noah got to see the Easter Bunny. Noah loved the Easter Bunny he wanted to take him for a walk- and he really got the egg hunt. This week flew by- we cleaned the garage and the basement and packed some boxes. I had Good Friday Off so we went to Sams to check out a swing set for Noah. We ended up with the swing set and a water play thing. Can't wait to use that. Yesterday we headed over to the inlaws for a BBQ. Noah had an Easter Egg Hunt there too. We also went and saw the Easter Bunny yesterday morning (I'll scan the picture in later). We saw the house yesterday too- the dishwasher, oven and microwave were all installed and look awesome. We are still missing the granite :o( All the cardboard is off the flooring - so we could see the hardwood and the other two shelves are stained. Looking good- but I can't wait to see the granite in!

Today we are off to see my brother for Easter- lots of good picture potential there

Happy Easter!
