I'M BACK!!!

So I was gone for 8 days visiting my sister and brother-in-law and their new addition "Addelyn Grace"in Milwaukee. She is such a doll. Melinda was such a trooper to have us in her home. The week was great. The first couple of days we were there we were able to run errands, play in the snow, go to the zoo, and see the Easter Bunny.


Melinda went into the hospital Monday night to have the Cervidil. She went into labor early the next morning. She had Addelyn that afternoon. She weighed in at 7 lbs. 6 oz. What a cutie!!!

At 4 days old!!! Both my kids seem so much older!!!

When my sister was still in the hospital, we went to one of the children's museums downtown!

It was great!!! Not only was there the neatest things there, but it was FREE!!!


Thursday was a perfect day...it was clear and very sunny! Who would have thought that Milwaukee would have been pounded with 16 inches of snow! At least we got a cute snowman out of it!
(Thanks Uncle Bri)

CONGRATULATIONS!!! YOU GUYS MAKE SUCH A CUTE FAMILY!!!

ALSO...CHECK OUT OUR OTHER NEW NIECE (Congrats to Carli)

Time to catch up!!!

I have taken so many pictures with all intention to blog them! So here you go!!!

I love this picture of my mom & Ella!!! You can tell from the picture that she has a good time over at my parents house (especially with the unlimited food supply of chocolate pudding!!!)

Ella and I went and saw the Doodlebops. Bentley stayed with Grandma and Ella and I had a little mother/daughter date!!! It was a lot of fun just hanging out with her(even though she doesn't look too happy in this picture)! We haven't done that for a very long time!

Ella and my dad playing dinosaur!!! We were laughing so hard!!!

My Uncle Marty was in town for NASCAR and I think Ella was trying to show off her great moves...I wonder where she learned her booty dance?

Celebrity look alike!!!

I have really been wanting to do something different with my hair...so I thought I'd try the celebrity look alike to see if there was one that might be fitting!!! Not sure. Any ideas I can take with me to my hairdresser?

Lots to catch up on!!!

O.K. So I hate to say it but I truly am in the category of biggest slacker!!! I have come to the realization that it is very difficult to sit down at the computer. I don't know if it's because I'm not adjusting well with 2 kids or I'm just LAZY!!! Lots has been going in our family.

Last night we spent the evening with Cason's grandparents. I love them. They have always been so cute and supportive to us and are really being hit with some hard times right now. Ella was loving Abuela...especially the tamale she was eating at the time. I wish I would have taken a picture of their little puppy. She's a miniature chiwauwau (however you spell it). She kept sitting in Bentley's car seat on his blanket. It was really cute. Here's a cute pic of Abeula with Bentley.

We blessed Bentley the last week of January. It is so amazing to have a little boy in our family. I love the spirit that he has. Already I know that he's going to be a total mama's boy ( I LOVE THAT)!!!

We just got back from Brian Head where we stayed a week playing in the cold and snow! It was great. It felt like such a nice break from home.

Ella had tons of fun sledding...until we biffed it at the bottom of the hill

Ella helping her dad shovel the balcony. It seemed like the boys were constantly shoveling snow

It was sooooo COLD snow boarding. The bandana was supposed to help sheild the wind...I don't think it helped much! There was so much snow we'd get stuck in powder. I haven't had a workout like that for a very long time!!!

The boys left on Monday so Michelle and I decided to start a puzzle. We were completely committed to finishing it before we left. Here's the finished product.
Ella finally pooped in the potty! I was excited to get a picture of her after!!! I'm a dork...I know!!

Last but not least...Ella not only thinks she's a big girl...but she also thinks that she's old enough to breast feed her baby!!! I had to get a picture of it. I was laughing so hard!!!
