Birthday Presents

My mom sent Ella a few new outfits the week of her birthday for her to wear that week. I took these pictures so that I could send them to her. They are certainly her colors!

 Easton wasn't very happy that I was leaving him out, literally holding the camera in one hand and holding him back with the other to get the other pictures. He was all smiles once I let him join in!

 This is the other outfit she sent. I had the tights and thought they looked ok with it. This is her with her drawing of Ariel. She draws Ariel and Eric multiple times daily.

 Her shirt says I Love School, sadly Thursday school is over for this semester and he teacher was so sad Ella wasn't coming back, I am truly just as sad I loved those Thursdays with just East and I!

Crazy Kids

This was one of those nights. Andrew was gone until after 9 that night. While I made dinner they did a great job entertaining each other, I went to make sure that they were ok and this is what I found. They had their backpacks on ready to go to "school." I love days like this when they just get along and there isn't any fighting. I just love them!

 Then Ella thinks Easton needs hug and it turns into a strangle!

 This is the best one she thinks she is giving him a hug, he face is priceless!

 After dinner they were both eager to help me wash the dishes. I washed them all up and left a few cups and measuring cups and let them have at it! They were soaked but they had so much fun, we had to pull Easton away screaming he didn't want to get down.

Park Day

This was from almost two weeks ago. We went to park day. It was a rather cold day, probably the coldest park day ever! Not a lot of people came and those that did weren't there very long. Everyone left and we hung around for another 10 minutes and the kids climbed all over the dinosaur. I then made them leave, it was way to cold for me!

Hats

Easton is our little hat boy! He LOVES hats! He for the most part has his hat or a hat on for a good part of everyday. He doesn't like others to touch it and if I put it on him he takes it off and puts it back on himself! He is pretty cute in hats!

 

His newsies hat

Stocking cap

Trying to find him a winter hat at Old Navy one night!

I should have bought this one he was so cute in it!

This was on Andrews phone, no idea where this was at!

Next years Halloween costume from Gymboree Clearance for $4 and of course it is perfect because it has a hat!

Happy Birthday #3 Ella!!!

Our Ella Bella turns 3 today! I cannot believe she is 3 and the difference a year makes! She seems so little in her pictures from last year! She is such a joy in our home and is such a peacemaker. She is always quick to give a hug (or strangle if your Easton) and she is always watching out for Easton. She says some pretty funny things and talks non-stop, although some people wouldn't know because she tends to get silent around others. She also has a very strong red headed personality to go along and can get grumpy at the drop of a hat! We love our little girl and can't believe it has been 3 years! We Love You Ella!!

That was just the beginning of naughty things she has done this year!

Seriously so little!

Naughty thing again!

She misses Uncle Spenc!

Conger Park

Last Saturday was so beautiful. I had a feeling it would be our last warm day. It was, that was the last time I wanted to go outside, it got cold, colder than we are used to this time of year here. The kids got really excited when they could see the park. It was the perfect Saturday afternoon! We finished off the night we a "picnic" in the living room with pizza! The kids love to our "picnics!"

 I hate that this is blurry, it has one of his most common expressions.

 Easton went over and started running and jumping across this bridge, he has no fear.................

 ...................and then there is Ella she went across probably 6 times and never let go, not a once, and was tense the whole time.
