The new babysitter... at Grandma's house!

And so it begins...

These cousins are only 2 months old and Landon is already beating on Ellie...

Ok, Landon just happened to be stretching and Ellie was already crying.

Happier times together!

Happy Valentine's Day!

My two cute little Valentines! I even got a smile from Ellie!

Lego Star Wars Addiction...

I'm not sure there is a support group for this yet but Livi may need one soon. She LOVES playing Lego Star Wars with Nate on his XBox 360. She is getting really good at working the controller and has to be a princess every time. She was even schooling her Uncle Pat--that Princess Leia has a serious punch!

Blessing Day

We blessed Ellie last Sunday and were lucky enough to get Nate's parents and his brother Pat here for it! It was a whirlwind of a weekend but we managed to have lots of fun! Thanks to everyone who could come! We are so glad that Ellie is a part of our family now!

She Smiles!

This is the look we usually get...

But I got proof that she smiles! I was trying to hold the camera to the side and take her pic so I could get her to smile, hence the head in the corner of the shot! She gives me lots of smiles now!

Grammie is 80!

Ok, I'm a couple weeks behind but these are pictures from Grammie's 80th birthday party. And a party it was! It was a Red Hat Lady party and Megan was creative enough to bring hats for her kids--she let Livi borrow hers. It was a lot of fun! My Uncle Terry & Aunt Debbie and their 2 kids also suprised her with a visit from California. We thought she might pass out but she survived the suprise and all the festivities. Happy Birthday Grammie!

My Big Little Helper

Olivia LOVES to feed Ellie a bottle. She gets mad at me when I nurse because she wants to feed her a bottle. Ellie gave her a pretend diaper bag for Christmas and she is starting to play with that, packing all the things she needs for her baby Ellie (the doll she got from Ellie when she was born). What a fun big sister!
