A whole new perspective...
Just screwing around today with the camera, playing with new ideas, playing with the kids. I am up in the kids playfort looking down at the kids.

Little Miss Leah!! Gosh I just love this cute lil bundle!!! I got to babysit for her on Saturday (ok, so my mom was to, but I couldn't take my hands off of her). Big bro Jase was there to playing with Ella and Jack. Leah is just such a happy lil munchkin, constantly cooin, smilin, happy lil peanut!!!
Ella constantly wants to hold lil Leah, she is so cute, saying look at her little feet, her lil hands, stuff like that!

Jack's very first bee sting!!! Owie!
That was it, that was all, that was his reaction, simply "owie". A bee landed right on those sweet cheeks, I tried to move his hood because it was starting to crawl back there, I tried to save him. But the darned bee got him! Jack had a confused look in his eyes, started rubbing his cheek, then a more confused look and he kept saying "owie". No tears, no crying. Strange huh?

Well since I have a few... I can finally post our diabetes walk pictures!!! I swear we have so much fun at these walks, the morning starts out with apples, grapes, bagels, juices and more for a snack, and while snacking there are moon walks to jump on, fun crafts to make and face painting! Cam saw a picture after it was taken of his face painting and ran with some baby wipes to get it off right away, not exactly what he had in mind when he said he wanted to look like the Detroit Tiger's mascot Paws! Oh and the storm troopers from Star Wars were there, Cam and Cole got a big kick out of that! We then wait for most of the walkers to get a head start then set into our 1 1/2 mile walk for the day. It took a long time, lots of little legs, a potty break, and more walking later, we made it! Of course there was a stop to play on the huge hill! The boys tried rolling down it, think Cam made it to the bottom hehe! Time for more snacks, yummy, and just visiting with friends!
This year we had some new walkers! Addison's first walk! She is 8 months old, and baby Leah's first walk, at just 2 months old!! Also my mom's supervisor Karen at work, and her hubby! I finally got to meet Karen, what a sweet lady (she is the one that gave Ella the dollhouse she adores). We all managed to raise $815 for our walk! Friday night we ironed on t-shirts with Taylor's design for all of our walkers! Another successful walk!!!

Playing dress up!
For Ella it is putting on EVERYTHING in her room that remotely looks like it is for dress up, hehe! Layers upon layers of scarves, necklaces, leis... whatever she can find. Funny thing is, while I was taking these pics, she is complaining how HOT she is, thus some of the funny faces. I swear it didn't take me long, the silly girl!
Oh and the last picture, yes I picked out that shirt for her, but hey we all need an ego boost every now and then!

Ella had her first dentist appointment today!!! She was soooo excited to go, sat like a big girl in the chair all smilie, got her teeth counted and cleaned, and was still smiling when we left! She also got a Tigger electric toothbrush, she was so excited to use it before bed tonight! We had to have a talk with daddy cause he wasn't brushing her teeth good enough, and let him know he needs to count to 10 when he does it!!! So tonight there was a lot of counting as I put her to bed, we will work with big daddy tomorrow night! No cavities!

Oooh my, worst blogger ever!
How could I forget to post about Ella starting school?? It is only 1 day a week, for 2 hours, but look at what a big girl she is! It is a 3 year old discovery days. They mostly play, but do a craft each time, and sing songs and read books! She loves it and asks every day if she is going to school! And each time we drive by, she is like, there is my school! Too cute!

All my nieces!!! I got to see them all this weekend, how lucky am I to have these sweet girls in my life??? I love them all to pieces, and look how beautiful they are!
This weekend I was asked to be Leah's godmommy, how could I resist that sweet face! Of course I said YES!

Seriously, this is Jack crying cause I wanted to take a picture of him, and I wouldn't let him have my lens cap, then I gave him my lens cap and he cried cause I wouldn't let him put it on my camera!!! A bag of fruit snacks later... 1 smile, hehe!

Taylor won her basketball game yesterday!!!! And she scored 8 points, gooooo Taylor! Of course I missed that one, I have a nasty cold that goes with a nasty headache, and Jamie is still working on that bathroom, so I didn't have the energy or patience to take the 2 little ones to the game, so no pictures, waaah.
I am soooo proud of my Taylor!!! Woohoooooooo!

This is your Jack update, come and get it!!! He is officially 16 months old and one busy little guy! His vocabulary increases daily and here are a few of his favorite words right now...
ball (clear as day, used most often, everything that is round is a ball)
daddy
mommy
Ellie
Tay
away (he says this after I change his diaper and he wants to throw it away, we go to the garage together and he throws it "away")
Addie (we always look at her picture on the fridge together, I can't wait till he can show Auntie Kristie how he says Addie when he sees her)
Biii (AKA bite, when he wants what you are eating)

Now he has also figured out where his belly, hair, teeth and toes are!!!

Gramma Aggie decided that Ella needed a Spongebob cake for her birthday, and googled designs and spent a lot of time making this fantastic cake for Ella. Ella loved it! She was just soooo excited! I do believe that made Gramma Aggies day! Ella also got a Dora bike from her Gramma Aggie and Grampa Al. She is still working on figuring out the pedaling thing, but getting better at it every day!
