Our little livi is growing up way too fast. Her crib is in our rm & when she wakes up, she peeks over the rail & stares @us until we look @her. It is so pitiful that we just have to get her out & love her before we put her back again! Here is a cute picture of her chubby lil hand as she fell asleep in the middle of her peek a boo act! We just love her so much... she adds so much joy to our little family!

Thanks Grandpa

Grandpa or as Ella says... PA, gave Ella finger paints for Jeremiah's b-day. Big Mistake! I thought that she was doing really well w/them until I found her EATING them. Needless to say... we have hidden the paints until she can be trusted again.

4th of July

Ella was in the Sandy City 4th of July parade for dance this year. She absolutley loved it! She was originally supposed to ride in the back of the truck, but she ended up walking & dancing the whole time w/the older dancers.

Today Is Such A Special Day

Today is Jeremiah's birthday. He had a party w/friends & family before his big day, so we just stayed in & ordered Outback to go that night. I made him his favorite down home southern dessert that he absolutley loves... Lincoln Logs! We went to Cheesecake Factory the next night for his b-day dinner. Happy Birthday Babe... We love you!

Sweet Potatoes, Peas & Bananas Oh My!

Livi has started solids! She loves everything but peas... which she tolerates, but isn't quite sure of them yet. She intently waches everyone eat & follows the food with her eyes. She loves to have a lil lick of my food, but only the dry things that are pretty tasteless.

I'm A Big Girl Now!

Ella has been potty training the last couple of weeks... FINALLY! She loves it & has to do her routine everytime no matter where we are. We go potty, yells ta da & then she tells it bye bye as she flushes it. We then sing twinkle twinkle lil star while we wash our hands (thanks for the idea Haley!) & finally we get a treat out of the potty basket. She loves to clean up after herself & wipe the counter w/a towel... she spends a lot of time watching mommy!

Dance Competition

Ella had her very first dance competition @Lagoon a couple of Saturday's ago. She did great except for the deer in the headlights look that didn't leave her face! We stayed the rest of the afternoon & night & took her on rides... she had a blast!
