Ella is 8 weeks!








Baseball

Kylie is suddenly very excited about baseball. I am not sure if it is a new found love for the game or the princess baseball set she received from Jeff and Kara. She wants to play several times each day. Kylie takes great joy in saying, "you missed" after you swing at the horrible pitch she made.




Kylie is Three!!!

I can't believe Kylie is 3! She had the greatest birthday ever. It started off right with a breakfast treat from Grandma. Kylie was thrilled to make a wish and blow out her candle. Matt took the afternoon off and we took Kylie to see "Up". Then we were off to Build a Bear...Kylie chose a pink bear and dressed her as Sleeping Beauty. She named her Aurora, of course! Next, Kylie helped us make her cake. After dinner there were presents...it was a never ending birthday day.


Birthday doughnut from Grandma!




Cake!


Kylie made Jeff ask Kara to dance so they could join her and Grandpa!

Waterpillar

Kylie has been loving her waterpillar sprinkler! She runs, giggling, through the water. It makes me giggle just watching her. What a great gift Aunt Val! It is one year later and she still adores it!

Jack-in-the-Box

So, what does Jack-in-the-Box do for you when you call to report finding a sliver of metal in your Mini Sirloin Burgers? They request that you bring the sliver into the store so they can look at it. I had no problem bringing it in, after all I had called to report it because I was concerned other customers might also find sharp metal objects in their hamburgers. However, I told the guy he had to wait until my husband got home because I had 2 kids and it was nap time. He asked if I would be there by 6:00 because he was off at 6:00! I was thinking, are you crazy manager guy? I just bit into needle sharp metal and kindly called to let you know so you did not injure several customers and you are concerned about getting off at 6:00. Wow! I did return that evening to the store and got a FREE Oreo milkshake!! Yes!



A Happy Mother's Day!!

Mother's Day was extra special this year. I am a mother of 2 now, so it was twice as nice! Also, my Grandma and my Aunt and Uncle were in town so we had a fun celebration at my parent's house, there were 5 moms total. I just LOVE Mother's Day, I think it should be once a month honestly.

Ella is One Month Old Today!










I cannot believe our little Ella is already one month! This month has gone too quickly. She is doing great, staying awake longer each day and sleeping better at night. She is a little piggie, she likes to eat about 4 ounces every 3 or 4 hours - that seems like a lot to me. She still looks pretty little though. Ella really loves being held and sitting in her bouncy seat.
These adorable pictures were taken by Kim with her fancy new camera! Thank you Kim, I'm in love with your photos.
