New things we learned last week!

Last week was a week of learning! Ella finally learned how to get down off the couch herself and how to get up out of the bumbo!

Easton learned how to roll over! I had to quickly lay him down on the floor to run after Ella who had my phone and was calling people and I came back and he was on his stomach!

Saggy pants with the diaper hanging out, only cute on a baby! I laid him in the corner of the couch and came in a few minutes later and he was almost off of the couch so no more unsupervised couch sitting!

Ella thought it was the perfect opportunity to slobber/kiss his head!

This was before he fell down, he looks so suave (sp?)

Almost all the way over

Easton also learned how to watch March Madness! He likes basketball and was a little to focused on it.

Andrew had to add the bottle to make it funny!

Andrew learned how to do injections in the eye and IV's! If you know Andrew you know he has not looked forward to this since before he even started school! He was really stressed about it but he actually did really well! They all have battle wounds to prove it! I am so proud of him!

Not pictured: I learned more patience! Ha!

Books

I was making dinner the other night and Ella had been entertaining Easton who was in his seat in the Kitchen with me. She went in the other room and soon it got awfully quiet so I went and found her and this is where I found her! She was in her box with a book, I looked in and she said hi and went back to her book!

Another night she found the bumbo once again and sat and read her books! I hope she always loves books!

New Pajamas!!

My mom got Ella some new pajamas for summer and since it was so warm we put them on her. Also in this picture you can see Andrew turned her box into a little house while we were gone and she loves it! She spends a lot of her time in it! The little strawberry on her shirt has glitter on it and I forgot to wash it before she wore it so she was a glitter mess the next day! We had to wash all her bedding it had gotten everywhere!

She has an attraction to the bumbo right now. When she first started getting into it she couldn't get herself out!

Silly Kids

Ella has a shelf above her changing table and some of her hats and jackets hang from it. She likes to try and get them while we change her, the other night I put this hat on since she wouldn't let me have it and let her run loose for a minute before we put on her pajamas. She may hate these pictures when she gets older but I think they are cute!

Easton and Ella both have beautiful eyelashes that they didn't get from me!

I think Katy must have taken these pictures I love them!

Ella trying to act sneaky and get Katy's purse!

St. Patricks Day!!!

This year I was going to do a green dinner but we realized that it was our last night available to take Katy to Corky's so we opted to do that instead! I found the perfect shirt for Ella and it will probably fit her again next year! There is a girl on the front of it and it says I am a wee bit Irish! Ella does have a little Irish blood in her for sure!

I love this picture she loves to do whatever anyone else is doing hence sucking on her hand because he was. If we talk to Easton in a high pitched voice she does it is hilarious!

She is starting to understand oh a camera I should smile and say cheese!

I love this "little" guy! He is getting to big!

Katy comes to Town!

Since I have two lap sitters on a plane it makes it nearly impossible to travel alone, plus who wants to pay for a 16 month old to have her own seat, not me, so I get someone to help me and they get to spend time with us in Mississippi, win-win for them! This time I got my little sister Katy to travel back with me since it was her spring break! She was so excited to fly with us, I warned her multiple times that two babies + flying isn't all fun and games but she didn't care! We actually had a really smooth travel experience and she said she would do it again! We were seperated on the first flight and she took Ella and was a couple rows ahead of us. I think I got the better end of the deal with just having Easton. Ella did really well on that flight I only heard her once and Katy said she did well! The second flight they let us sit on a row together since there would be a seat between us. We really were blessed the whole day!

Our layover in Dallas, we were there for 4 hours but it gave us time to eat, feed Easton, and let them both take a nap!

Our stroller made it really easy in the airport!

This is an inside joke between Katy and I. There were random wheelchairs all over the airport left unattended this one in particular made us laugh maybe we were tired but we joked that we hoped whoever fell out of it was ok!

Ella ran around a pole for nearly an hour!

Katy spent 5 days with us here in MS! We did all the things she wanted to do while she was here! We went and got Crepes at the Crepe Maker for lunch one day and then shopped making a stop at her favorite store Charming Charlies where she got some cute black boots for $5! It was a fun day, plus it was in the upper 70's all week so we got to enjoy the outdoors!

We played outside a lot and walked up and down the sidewalk and driveway with Ella! Ella loves Katy. While in Utah she started saying Katy, it is so cute. She still has times where she thinks Katy is upstairs still or if she hears a plane outside (since they practically touch our house as they fly over) she says Katy! It is funny how she makes her associations like upstairs and plane equals Katy!

While she was here Ella also learned how take off her pants. She kept taking them off!

Rolling over Easton, it came to a stop quickly!

One day we took her to the zoo. It was crazy! I forgot it was Spring Break here for all the school districts. We are usually close to the only ones at the zoo but this day we were fighting for a spot to park and could hardly walk through all the exhibits there were so many people!

We also went to Corky's for dinner one night, a must if you come to Memphis! We are glad she came it gave us a reason to go!

I think we need a bigger car! Katy was stuck in the back seat between the car seats all week if we had Andrew with us!
