Birthday Fun

Here are some pictures of Caroline's birthday. She got a stroller and some blocks in the morning and later Grandma came from Omaha with a little pool!

Happy Birthday Caroline

Happy Birthday Big Girl!! We love you SOOOOOOOO much!

Unsprung Spring

It's still freeeeeeeezing here!! So instead of gardening, I'm sewing. Here are some cute concoctions that I whipped up yesterday. Ella's skirt is a bit Mormonish, but she thinks it's "princessey".

We're Still Here!!

February and the beginning of March have officially been the most boring months EVER!! So I was suffering from a case of "bloggers block". There just hasn't been anything worth sharing. We spent a few days in Omaha and more than a few days passing around a vicious cold. Things should become more exciting soon with the arrival of spring. Here are a few pics of the dullest month on record.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Happy Valentine's Day to all of our family and friends. We LOVE YOU!!!

Mystery Man

While in the drive thru Ella asks with true sincerity, "Just who is this King of Burgers?" I was laughing so hard I was crying. The people at the window must have thought I was insane.

Call Vegas Now

Ella has made her Super Bowl prediction!! It will be a defensive battle for the ages with the Cardinals winning 5-2. When asked why she thought the Cardinals would win, Ella replied, "The Cardinals will win because Cardinals are my favorite bird. And it isn't nice to steal." Now that's some good logic!!

Just a Reminder....Caroline Lives Here Too

Eating Conversation Hearts by the Fistful!!!

The Big Day

We all had a great time at Ella's Birthday Party. Grandma's house looked like a pink Hello Kitty bomb had gone off. The kids had fun decorating their own cupcakes, and the little ones pushed on - even without naps. Ella said that her favorite part was, "Eating cake and giving everyone party favors."

I Can't Believe She's Going to be 4

Winter Funderland

The snow here is just perfect for making snowmen and snowballs right now. The girls were SO HAPPY to be able to go outside and play. Mommy was pretty thrilled too!!

Fabulous Fairy Friday

Her Royal Highness the Princess of Pastry (and Puke) has declared this day to be Fabulous Fairy Friday. All subjects in the Kingdom are being forced to wear fairy costumes, carry wands and address each other as Fairy Ella, Fairy Caroline and so on. In addition, there is the mandatory reading of "Alice the Fairy" and viewing of Ella Enchanted. May spring come soon.

The New 'Do

Ella got a super cute new hair cut!! We all LOVE it, so I made her pose for this mug shot.

Christmas Morning Photos

No lumps of coal this year!! Santa was very generous and brought the each of the girls a doll and an easel to share. Needless to say, the Ella and Caroline were thrilled with everything.
