girl time...

we needed a little sugar and chocolate in our lives last night.
i thought we could all use some homemade chocolate chip cookies!
(we also added the m&m's for daddy)
it made it even better that i had 2 little helpers with me in the kitchen.

we love some snow! (well most of us)

 
and it's finally time that we got some!
caraline has been asking all winter when she was going to get to play in the snow.
and today was the day.
(she wanted to know if we got to take our shoes off before we stepped on the snow, going without shoes has been an interest of hers since watching Tangled:)
 the gal above loved everything about it.
she could have stayed out for hours.
she ran around, made a snowman, threw snowballs, and jumped on the trampoline with all the snow.
 
  this one was not so sure about it.
it took her a while to venture out off of the patio.

 making a snowman with daddy.

 pretty proud of it.


 she finally came out in it.
fell.
and this is pretty much how ellie girl spent the rest of her time in the snow.

 
 mommy made it a little better:)

 
below are some action shots of caraline in a snowball fight with daddy.



and their finished snowman!
(yes, it's missing a face and maybe some arms, but mommy was cold and it was time to get back inside)!

pumpkin patch

this is another late post but i wanted to get it on here for caraline:)
this is our trip to the pumpkin patch with her school.
first time for this preschooler to ride a bus (she is obsessed with school buses!)
mommy was a little nervous but her friend mason was on there and mommy, jenn and ellie followed closely behind them.
it was a good time until the weather took a quick change for the worse, the wind/rain was terrible and it got really cold so we headed out early.
 
she wasn't into pictures this day.
 
she always is though.
 
pumpkin bowling.
 
riding the fake horsey.
 
finally got a super smile in a pic with her sweetie.
 
mason, of course helping a girl out:)

winter dance recital

twinkle, twinkle here's my little star!
 
 
 
 
 

18 month checkup

wow, its been a while since i've last blogged.
i can't even remember if we made a 15 month post.
but here is the 18 and i'm going to try and get back into this thing.


elleanor will turn 18 months old on the 20th. (started this post a while ago but just now finishing, she turned 18 months on Dec. 20th)
we had her checkup a little early.
she is 30% on her weight
and 50% on her height


there was only 1 immunization this time, but mean old mommy also had the girl's flu shots done at this visit.  and as you can also see above this girl has become quite the handful at the doctor's office, getting into cabinets, pushing the chairs into the walls, and tearing down the paper! 

tidbits on ellie girl:
she has some personality that's for sure.
her dad and i call her our tornado.
she is into everything these days.
climbing, climbing, climbing
she can show you where her head, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, tongue, bellybutton, and toes are.
she loves music.
loves to dance.
loves to smile.
loves to laugh.
loves her big sister and wants to do everything that she does.
she is such a talker.
she says momma, mommy, dada, daddy, nana, memaw, papa, sissy, ellie, doggie, kitty, banana, bye bye, hi, thank you, please and the list goes on and on and on.
she loves to sleep with her doggie.
sucks her thumb while rubbing her nose.
pulls her hair out when she gets mad. (wish this one would come to a stop)
is fascinated with the vacuum cleaner.
i could go on and on and on about this energetic little gal!
she is definitely keeping us on our toes:)

we love our little tornado and can't wait to see what she does in the next few months!
