Sister Picnics and Tea Parties

While we were doing some renovating this little table became our dining table for a few weeks. The girls loved eating together on their princess table.

Lily's "Half-Birthday" at Preschool

Lily has a summer birthday so she won't be in Preschool on her birthday. So, I decided to take cupcakes for her "half-birthday" so she could celebrate at school. Birthdays are like her favorite thing ever! Cake and singing...what's not to love?

Where have I been?

The girls got this huge blow-up jumper thing from Santa....it currently takes up half of my living room and the girls love it!

Santa's cupcake and then vegetables for his reindeer. Ella opening her Christmas Eve pajamas.

Ella.....I know I am biased but man is she cute!




So, it appears it has been a month and a half since my last post...mmmmmmm

We are doing really good. We had a very enjoyable Christmas with our own little family in our own little house. Our children were very spoiled by us, Santa, grandparents, aunts/uncles, etc. We acquired a lot of new Disney Princess stuff.....we should advertise for them we have so much Princess stuff in our house now!

Rob has been working overtime trying to finish our bedroom remodel which started last February when our bedroom flooded.....all we need now is a tiny bit of paint and then we have to find some new flooring. I am super excited.....we have done a ton of work on our house. I am hoping we can finish all of our projects soon so we can enjoy the new loveliness.

Lily starts Sunbeam class at church on Sunday which blows my mind. She is growing up that is for sure.

Both the girls slept through the entire night last night....that has only happened less than 5 times since Ella was born...13.5 months ago. It felt so good to sleep and I even got up an hour before them and exercised.

I am hoping to make a trip to Utah/Idaho in the spring sometime....and trying to coordinate all the things to make that happen...seeing my friend Emily, my sister's new baby, having my mom and my sister fly to albuquerque and drive up and back with me......I am hoping we can get it all worked out for a little escape to see my family which I very much need!

My little Ella's birthday!

Dear Ella,

I am so grateful to have you be my little goober. You bring me such happiness and make me laugh every single day. I love your little smile. I love it when you wrap both your little arms around my neck. I love it when you play with Lily and giggle. I love it when you run into Daddy's arms when he gets home from work. Thank you for letting me be your mom. It is a privilege.

Love,
YOUR MOMMY

Lily's Preschool Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

I went with her class to the Pumpkin Patch for their first field trip. I loved being able to see her interact with the other kids and spend some time with her at preschool. She is such a fun little girl!

My little girlies.....

These pictures are too cute to not post!

Halloween....what did you expect?

We went trick-or-treating "downtown" where Rob works in the afternoon. The girls loved it! I also let Lily paint her pumpkin that night and she loved loved loved it! She even painted it some more this afternoon!




Now to next year.....I got the costumes for the girls all ready from hand-me-downs and a Walmart clearance today!

Happy November 1!
