Long time, No post

Well I know that it's been forever since I wrote a blog and people are asking for more pictures. I know it's a lame excuse but I have been delaying the blog writing because our internet connection is really slow and it takes at least two hours to download a handfull of pictures. The past month has been really fun, the highlight being a trip to Kentucky to visit some family. My cousin Barbie was so sweet and got me a ticket with some extra miles she had so Noelle and I got to go. We were out there a week and it was so beautiful. We had fun seeing the country side, playing games, going to the park, checking out the super walmart and going out to eat with family. We had a blast. We got delayed a day due to ice and then got rerouted the next day and due to the airline changing our schedule so much I asked if there was anything they could do to make our trip easier and we got to ride first class on the way home. Noelle did really good but it was still so tiring to travel by myself with a toddler. It was all worth it though.

Early Morning...we are headed to Kentucky!
Going down the slide with Aunite Joyce
Swinging with Great Grandpa
Out to dinner...My Grandma, Aunt Joyce and Uncle Tim and all the kids behind them
Still at dinner... Me, Cousin Barbie and my Grandpa
Noelle LOVED the dog kennel at Joyce and Tims. She would put her toys inside and get inside and close the door.
Noelle after a bath. This is the towel my mom made when my cousin Trina (who is now 13) was born.
Noelle in her warm jacket and hat and gloves. We took a walk to get some outdoor time but it was about 24 degrees which is pretty cold for us california girls.
We got these boots hoping we would have snow but sadly didn't....but they ended up being perfect for the rain. She could still walk around when we went somewhere without worrying about wet feet.
Trying on Funny hats with Aunt Joyce at walmart. Walmart is the big place to go for fun in Berea.
This just about sums her up.
Finally got our snow. Sadly it was four in the morning and we were on our way to the airport.
I promised Nick that Noelle would make a snow angel if it snowed but she was asleep so I drew one for him in the hood of the car.

Shopping the SKY MALL
On our way home, someone was nice enough to find an empty seat and move so we had an extra seat.
Above the snow storm...
Listening to Mickey on our ipod
Having a snack in first class.

Since we've been back we have celebrated valentine's day and Nick's 26th birthday. I was pretty tired from my trip valentine's day so we didn't do anything but it was family night. Nick's birthday was yesterday (Sunday) and we had a nice dinner and cake on Thursday then spent the weekend just relaxing.

My dad taught Noelle what a lizard "says" This isn't the best video of it but it's the only one I have.

My sisters and I love playing Mario Party and everytime this part comes on Noelle get SOOO excited, this is what it's always like.
