Ella turns 4!

Ella had a two day birthday this year! Her birthday was on Friday and she woke up to presents and heart shaped donuts..she woke up a little earlier then anyone else (6:30!) so she got to sit on the couch and watch a movie while she ate it and everyone else (me!) went back to bed :)
Lily with her donut a few hours later
Ella opening her presents
Smile Lily!

My friends husband just had surgery and he had a check up appointment that she wanted to go to, so we kept her two boys for a couple hours in the morning. Ella loved playing with the baby until he drooled on her hand, then she quickly pushed him off of her onto the couch!
Lily loved the baby too
He's almost a year old, but he sure is little!
Saturday we had Ella's party with all her friends
Daddy hung streamers and filled lots of balloons
Ella wanted a dog theme this year
Doggy Jared, he is Ellas new favorite friend :)
A few of the puppies, I never got them all together!
Ella opening some presents


Lily waiting her turn to play the game..all the kids got dog tags after their turn, and I didn't have one for Lily, she was a little sad..but daddy went and made her one :)
the only dog game i could find was blues clues..we had a few other games, but the kids were happy to just play so we skipped them
Dog pinata
Jareds face is pretty funny..
(don't mind the mound of junk in the background)
Ellas turn

Candy!
Time for some cake
Blowing out her candle
We used Ellas free birthday pass to wazoos on Lilys birthday, so it worked out pretty great that another friend in the ward was having a birthday party later in the evening. So the girls got to end the day playing at wazoos and eating pizza and cake..again!
Lily was pretty sleepy!

quick post, mostly for grandma :)

Lily eating apples

Ella before school this morning

They made cupcakes at school and Ella got to bring home 4. I put Lily down for a nap when we got home and Ella was eating a cupcake and then going to watch a movie so I went in to nap too..when I got up she had eaten all but one and was sharing that one with her daddy :)


The girls and I put some flower stickers on the playhouse, and Daddy put up some trim on the windows and doors


The playroom clean..this room can get pretty crazy!

This is what it usually looks like, ha

Snow Day

Lily makes the greatest faces

Ella was SO excited for the snow!






Lily picked up some snow, said YUCK! and threw it down..she's my child :)

My face is just about as white as the snow! Time for some SUN!!

Ella throwin snow at me

Jumping she was so excited!

Our neighbors dog wearing his snow camo ;)

Ella is such a good big sister..Lily woke up from her nap today and I was still working out, so I told her to sit on the couch and wait for me, she was sad and crying so Ella went over and sat with her and gave her her puppy so Lily would be happy. and she sat with her until I was done :) Not sure what we are going to do when Ella goes to school this year!

Ella laid right down and made a snow angel. I asked her how she knew how to make one and she said Taylor taught her..ha, not sure when we were around Taylor and snow, but ok!

The girls found some "snow" outside and had fun throwing and stomping on it before we got in the car the other day..its suppose to snow tonight so maybe we'll get some fun snow pictures tomorrow :)
neither of the girls really have any winter coats, and i'm not sure I want to go buy them one to use for a week or two, so we squeezed them into what we had :)


Preschool was at our house today.
We learned about the letter T, making tamborines and handprint tulips :)

Spoke too soon!

It has been FREEZING here! No more 70 degree weather :( Well at least for one more week, and then its suppose to get back up into the high 60's..I can take it for a week I guess...
We had dinner on post last night, they have a playland in a food court, I think I might make Joe take us back again because they have this sandwich shop that I love, and haven't eaten there since I took Joe to Georgia..I didn't see it until after we had ordered burger king :(
Anyhoo...Joe left his powerade in the car last night and when the girls and I were coming home from our appointment today, Ella was whining that she was SO thirsty so I started to hand her the cup and noticed that it was frozen solid!

Powerade popsicle?

I love living in Texas right now! Its January and the girls and I were at the park for 4 hours yesterday and two hours today in shorts and t-shirts enjoying the 70-75 degree weather! Ask me again in the summer if i'm still enjoying it ;) but seriously, I'll take the heat over snow ANY day! Okay now on to the post....
