One Year Ago Today...

We were in Hong Kong(according to their time zone). We were with our agency's groups doing the traditional tour. John and I had a great time. We went to Victoria's Peak, Aberdeen Harbour, Repulse Bay, Stanley Market, and the Jade Factory(My Favorite!!!). Later that day , John went back to the hotel to take a nap and I took off with several other ladies in our group to spend more money explore on our own. We did the traditional "High Tea" at The Peninsula Hotel. We got pedicures and body massages. We stayed out late so we could see the laser light show. It was spectacular, especially from the top floor or the Sheraton Hotel while having my last drink before motherhood!!! The thing I remember best, we were one day away from "Gotcha Day"!!!

Easter Morning...Did Someone Say Candy!!!

Good Morning, I heard a certain bunny had stopped by.


This is what he brought me.


Oh, a KITTY!


Kitty needs a big kiss. I love my kitty.


I hear candy inside!

Ooohh, more candy!


See my Hello Kitty eggs and new book he brought me.


Wonder what I will eat next.


Mom, can I eat this stuff?

Just one picture of the silly ears.

Happy Easter from Noelle

Happy easter Everyone!


Great, the Kid is laughing at me!


The things I do to entertain her.


Mommy, can I take off the ears now?


These ears won't make it till next Easter!!!

It's Thursday, Must Be Naked Lasagna Night!!!

Mommy, decided to cook dinner tonight. This is a real treat because we have been so busy with outdoor projects and I haven't found much time to cook lately. I might have cheated just a little bit and cooked a Stouffer's frozen Lasagna. At least the garlic bread was fresh and I did make the salad from fresh ingredients(no packaged salads here tonight). We stripped Dallas down to her diaper and put her in her highchair. She ate all of her dinner with no help from us. We just had to hose her down when she was done!!!

Dallas and the Easter Bunny Kitty 2007

I took Dallas to see the Easter Bunny today. Last year our "Gotcha Day" was exactly one week after Easter. I was more excited than she was. Dallas was just happy to be strolling around the mall!!! I kept telling her all morning we were going to see the Easter Bunny so she wouldn't be scared of him. She wasn't scared of Santa so I figured this would be no different. Oh, was I wrong!!! Dallas went up to where the bunny was sitting and waved at him. Then we put her on his lap and she didn't like it one bit. She screamed to get down. Everybody was trying to get her to sit in his lap and smile. Nope, wasn't gonna happen. That's when Mommy told her that he was the Easter Kitty. Dallas took one look at him and went "Meeeooow". Then she sat on Mommy's lap and flashed her "Let's hurry up because he really doesn't look too much like a kitty" smile. Oh, the miracles of photo editing. You can see just part of my brown shirt in the picture.
