Snow White

New Friends

Ella is so spoiled, her Daddy bought her some fish!
She loves them! She was so excited helping Joe set up the tank.

We went and had lunch with Patti who is in town watching her Grandkids!
Ella and Cam had a lot of fun together!

Cooper and Lily had some fun playing too!

Cooper was trying to play with the big kids and Patti had to go in after him! ha

Dino Museum

At Thanksgiving point they have $2 Tuesdays where you can get in to the dino museum or farm country for just $2. Today was the last day of the deal so we went after Joe got home from work. I think I would rather pay a little more then go on a $2 Tuesday ever again! It was so busy! But Ella loved looking at all the dinosaurs so it was worth it. They wanted like $10 for a rubber dino in the gift shop so we took Ella to the DI and found almost the exact one for .50cents! We found a bunch of them and she is excited to play with her "guys" (the boys next door) tomorrow.

Lily was really excited to touch something!

It looks like something is coming out of my ear!

Monster Jam at Rio Tinto Stadium

Tonight we went with some friends to a monster truck show!
(we have a remote control version of the turtle truck)
I think Joe will put pictures of the trucks on his blog

Jackson and Ella

There was a carnival right outside the stadium so the kids got to go on a roller coaster ride before we headed to the car

Ella and daddy outside the stadium

Lily stayed with Grandma and Grandpa.

She was pretty impressed with Ellas light sword

Lily sure is busy! I don't remember Ella climbing on things quite so little, but then she was walking at 8 1/2 months so i'm sure she did! Lily learned to climb up a stair today (we only have one!), and is working on cutting another tooth so she is grumpy! Luckily she sleeps a lot!We spent a lot of time outside at the neighbors tonight.
Ella loves to play with all the neighborhood kids.

Lily chillaxin in the sun with her bottle

Ella no longer has a Nuk (pacifier) I know she was way to old to have it in the first place, but she loved it and it made her happy, so I figured whatever..but with Lily being so grumpy I figured I might as well have two grumpy girls and get it over with. The first day was a little rough. We took her to walmart and let her pick out whatever she wanted from the toy isle and told her that was her big girl present and that all her nuks were gone. She hasn't asked for it since. Although she did show me her finger and say look Mom I have a new nuk, so we'll see how that goes!

Pretty Ella

Lily is learning to climb on things...We have a door separating our bedroom (and the rest of the house) from the living room, I pull that door mostly shut (it shuts hard) so that Ella can still open it but lily shouldn't be able to push it open when crawling. Well she has learned that if she gets up on her knees she can push the door with both hands and it will open, lovely!

This morning she was trying to climb into her car seat

She loves to play on the trampoline.
I hold her and she jumps like crazy!

Ella has recently started calling Lily her baby sister, its pretty cute..Bob was jumping with them and Ella kept telling him, thats my baby sister over and over again

Lily is pretty funny in the swing, she kicks her legs all crazy

Ella really likes rocks.

Lily really likes to eat grass

First wagon ride together!

Otterpops to cool down! Its hot today!

Lily got herself trapped in a laundry basket this afternoon while I was switching laundry
She was pretty upset about it, but I had to run and get my camera before letting her out!

Ellas Shadow

Now that Lily is moving around a bit faster she loves to follow Ella!

Ella is telling me that Lily can't get in the table

Lily sure was trying though!

Lily and Ella are now sharing a room! Lily was sleeping with us before because it was easier then having Ella get woken up when Lily woke up at 7 for a bottle. But now that Lily crawls its not so nice to sleep with her! They have been doing very good! And Lily has stopped eating at 7am! Now they both get up around 9 which is great with me! Also now that her crib is cleaned out she takes at least two naps a day in it! And each nap is about 2 hours! That makes for a very happy Mama! and a very happy Lily!

These are the blankets I made awhile ago, that I finally put the binding on today

You can see Lilys tooth in this picture when its full size

Lily is pretty fast so Ella holds her back and grabs what Lily is going for that Ella doesnt want her to have!

Ella is teaching her how to sing

And how to play princess

I love their faces in this one,
Lily is so mad that Ella grabbed the toy and ran off and
Ella has a grumpy look because Lily is messing with her stuff..

Lily got her first tooth today!
And here are some Sunday pictures for Grandma Lyn

We finished week 1 of our running! Todays run was SOOooo much easier than the last time we ran. I'm not sure if its because it was cooler out today, or because we had music, or because it was dark..yes I like to run in the dark, weird I know. I think I would run amazing with my eyes closed if I could just not trip and fall..haha, maybe I need a tredmill? Anyway back to my point (if I even had one..) todays run was great! We even added in an extra set on the way home and ran as fast as we could!

These pictures have nothing to do with running..

I REALLY love this outfit and am really sad that it happens to fit my girls during the summer so neither of them hardly got to wear it. So here are a bunch of pictures of it!
