I think I spend to much time with my camera....

We were pretty busy last weekend which meant that I was able to get a lot of cute pictures. Saturday morning Thomas and I made breakfast for Kelly and Noelle. I had bought Thomas what I thought was a totally cute apron and hat. Everyone made fun of it but Thomas loved it and I thought he was cute in it. Kelly was worried that if Julie hated the chicken costume she was really going to hate the apron and hat!

That afternoon we went to Gary and Sandy's 25th Wedding Anniversary party. It was a Hawaiian Luau and everyone came dressed in their Hawaiian gear.

Grandpa and Noelle

We had a great time at the party. Noelle did what she does best... ate everything in sight. She loved everything on Kelly and Grandpa's plates. She always makes us laugh because she will eat as long as you let her but you would never know it because she is so tiny. She has a great metabolism. She can thank her dad for that!!

Neither Kelly or I felt like cooking dinner that night and it was getting late so we decided to go to Carl's Jr. and pick something up. We got there and went to order and we couldn't think of anything we wanted to eat. We thought about leaving before ordering but we didn't. We should have! We decided to have a picnic on the front yard except no one wanted to eat. I think we threw away almost everything we bought!!! What a waste. After our failed dinner we decided to play a game of croquet. That was a lot of fun. Noelle didn't participate instead she entertained herself with the Carl's Jr. cup (all it had was ice in it). Noelle doesn't appreciate it when you take her food or drink away from her. She will throw a huge fit and even though she can't walk she can "run" on her knees!! It really is about the cutest thing ever. Her knees have huge calluses on them. She doesn't like the grass so she "runs" on the cement.

So when we decided to clean up and get the kids in the bath. Thomas helped us clean up and I think that is when the camera got lost. Tuesday evening I was going to post these pictures but I couldn't find the camera. The rest of the week I turned the house upside down trying to find the camera. I can't tell you the emptiness I felt not having it. As you can tell with all of my pictures, I have my camera with me all the time. My Mom came over on Thursday evening and had dinner with me and helped me go through the entire house and garage looking for it but no such luck. By Friday I was in panic mode because I'm leaving for San Diego in a few days and I can't go without a camera!!!! I knew if I went and bought a new one I would find the old one and then I'd be mad. But something told me to look in a bin where I keep my gift wrapping stuff in the garage and at the bottom of the bin was my camera!!! Thomas must of helped put things away, just in the wrong spot. The relief I felt was amazing! As I write this I'm thinking that I may need to spend less time with the camera....
