Catch Up

Sorry I have not been blogging lately. Here are pictures from the past few weeks.

She sucks on her thumb all the time now!

No we are not really potty training yet, but we are trying to get Anna to actually pee on the potty so she might start to understand the concept. She sits on the potty (big and small one) alot, but cannot actually pee on it. This day, she sat on the potty for an entire episode of Dora...still no luck.

Checking on the garden.

Ready for our spring photoshoot last weekend!

Ella's first tooth came in Tuesday, then today we noticed the 2nd one on the bottom had popped through!

Carrie and lauren left me with 5 kids the other day..whew, I'm glad I only have 2 right now.

Anna led Corbin and Joel in Ring-Around-the Rosie

Ella's new favorite thing to chew on since she has cut her first 2 teeth this week!

We let Anna choose between Cracker Barrel and McDonalds for breakfast this morning. Can you tell where we went? She loves playing at "Donalds"!

Look how big I'm getting!

Ella likes playing with Regan!

Nana and her girls.

I love cuddle time with my baby girl!

Ella"sDedication

We had Ella's baby dedication at church Sunday. Joe's parents came to visit for the weekend. We had a great time visiting with Grandma and Grandpa. Joe and his dad put in a raised garden Saturday and also cooked the meat and dessert for dinner! Thanks guys! Grandma took care of the girls while I went to a baby shower Saturday morning. Sunday, my parents, Ma, and Aunt Janet came in for Ella's dedication, then they all came back to our house for lunch. We had a great time with our family this weekend.

Ella's Baby Dedication...April 11, 2010

We are so thankful to be a part of such an amazing church.

We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family. Grandma, Grandpa, Nana, Poppy, Ma, and Aunt Janet all came to town for this special day!

Our family...

Ma and Ella. Ma made Ella's beautiful dedication dress.

Anna wanted Aunt Janet to push her in the swing.

Ready to head to church with Grandma and Grandpa!

Grandpa rubbed Ella's burpcloth on her gums. She LOVED it!

The only time Anna acts jealous is when Grandma or Nana are holding Ella.

Cuddle time with Grandma

Daddy brought home ice-cream last week. They have been sharing a bowl alot lately.

Happy Easter

We had a great day celebrating our Risen Savior! Anna has been saying all day, "Jesus is alive!" She knows why we celebrate Easter! Nana and Poppy left yesterday, so we spent the day with just the four of us.

Silly face


My girls...

Daddy and his girls!

Great lunch at O'Charleys. It wasn't like being at Nana's, Grandma's or Ma's, but it was good.

Ella is 5 months old

Ella has changed alot in this last month. She is now eating cereal 2 times a day and is trying to cut her two bottom teeth. We can see them, they just have not broken the skin yet. She chews on things and drools ALL the time. She rolled over the other day (this was not the first time) but I think the first time she did it was a fluke. Now she gets up on her side all the time and tries to look behind her back. I think she will be turing over all the time really soon. We moved her bedtime up again, so now she is finally going to bed at 8:00 just like her sister. She usually wakes up talking to herself between 7:30 and 7:40. I don't feed her until 8:00 though. She is also being able to stay awake alot longer now between naps. Her wake time is usually 2 hours and then naps for 2 hours!
