Ewok!

Oh what is that creature in our backyard??

Ewok!
thank's for the lovely pose. ;)
oh you want me to look that way?
Hey where's your hunting stick? I don't think Ewoks have wands.
...all this in anticipation of surprising my brother and family at Disney over Halloween (thanks to Dad and those who were involved in the surprise). I had to have Norah match the family in Halloween attire...Star Wars theme.

me and my spy camera

Just a few sneaky shots I got at home.

Norah playing before bedtime, with her Rambo headband and playing with her musical running reindeer from last Christmas.

Caught you!

Norah has found her bouncer from when she was a wee baby and loves to sit in it and chill.

Zoo (x's 2!)

2 zoo trips merged into 1 post

Huge grazing area for most of the big animals

Well they kinda look like raccoons. good guess!

A few pics of the bigger animals

when rocks were nearby, Norah was most interested in those!

and rocks with holes in them

and sticks

exotic flowers in the greenhouse


looking at the turtles...

Sea lions!


exotic birds

Whoa, geyser!

Hey, you didn't tell me about that part!

fast asleep at last :)

discovered a new park close by

Norah and I found a nearby park that has a lot of neat things to do and see...and a ton of teeny tiny ticks too!


whatcha see?


running, running, running is so much fun.

Where's Norah?

there she is!

are you sure there's something there?

Turtles!

cooking and helping

Since we haven't posted in a while, there will be an explosion of posts. Enjoy!

Norah's & my last time cooking in the rental house.





our only moving picture...we didn't really want to remember how fun moving was. ;)


Cooking in the new house!




...and eating too!

Cheezy pic from the state fair

Quick pic from the state fair. More pictures to come. :)

Chiquita Banana

Oh yeah, we have a blog!

Life happened...sorry about that. Busy here at the homefront from all angles. So let's get to the pictures!

Grandpa & Grandma (Justin's side) came down to visit in April and the girls decided to go strawberry picking right at the start of the season. Norah got into it immediately.

Oh, yep, you found another one!

Mmmm it was so yummy, Norah didn't even notice the sweet stick trail running down her arm.

Just a quick pic of Norah and Casey.

Singing time!

Norah attacked Mama!

Mama attacked Norah!

Still a Bengal's fan!

A good co-worker friend from back home bought this for Norah. Finally it fits and is sooo cute!! Check out her HEELS!

...and she LOVES walking in them...clipy-clop on the kitchen floor!

Chillin on a weekend morning...no it's not Christmas. Norah's pajama's consist of all holiday attire. :)

Grammie (& soon to be Pappy) moved down to be closer to the little squirt and has a great place to put a blow-up pool (and in-ground pool for that matter :P )

Water goes out of the pool...

...oh you're so cute...

...and in the mouth

Norah's starting to be a real helper. She loves to smash the garlic!

and watch the cooking.

Just 2 more pics, ones that were taken today. Norah was playing in her Hawiian outfit (gotten from Pops house, thanks to Uncle/Aunt/cousins!) and got a bit chilly and decided to stand-ride on her horsey.

...and being crazy walking her stroller (again thanks Pops/Uncle/Aunt/cousins!)
