I'm in denial...Is Ella really 2 years old today???

That's right folks.....Miss Ella turned 2 years old today and I seriously can't believe it. She is an active, energetic, sassy, strong willed and beautiful dream come true.
Auntie Ashley and Ella at Red Robin

Auntie Ashley bought Ella her first "big girl" purse for her birthday. It's so cute I might have to steal it!!

I couldn't help but play with this picture (and the next picture) and make the fruit stick out b/c it just looked so cool!

Ella had just gotten out of the bath . Hence the wet hair. :)

After "dessert time" I was showing my mother-in-law some "new" clothes that my friend (Cheryl) gave me this week. She always gives me her girl's old clothes and Ella just HAD to put this gown on tonight. So cute!!!

I bought Ella some new shades for her birthday but it turned out that Eden liked them more!

LOVE ME SOME EDEN!!!!

Um......I want to go wake her up and kiss those chubby little cheeks!!! :)

Sitting up

Is this not the CUTEST back (and side rolls!!!) you've ever seen! Eden is starting to sit up on her own so Ella now thinks she is old enough to "play." She tries to hand her all of her big girl toys and I can't help but smile b/c the look on Eden's face screams, "Huh???"

Ella thought that it was necessary to try her stethoscope on Eden. Eden did not like it.

Ella drinking out of Eden's sippy cup. BUT, she is wearing her "big girl" panties under that huge red shirt! For some odd reason I decided that this weekend would be a good time to start working on the whole potty training thing.....so I put panties on her when she woke up and then took her to the potty every 30 minutes to an hour. She did great. We had several successes and one accident.....which happened to be on our bed!!! I was fixing my hair for dinner and I looked over at the bed to check on Eden (who was watching TV!) and I saw Ella standing there with a STREAM flowing straight out of her panties onto our bed. I was like, "NO! NO! NO!!!!" I think I freaked her out a bit, but ever since then she has been more vocal about having to tee tee or poo poo. Perhaps it won't take too long to get her trained. :) It's very difficult to keep at it when I have to work during the week, but I guess I'll just keep working with her on the weekends and one day she will be able to walk in public without a diaper!

Little miss waiting for her next bite.

This is an "Ella" face....usually occurs after she's done something she shouldn't have!!

Um...Eden is a little bird and she LOVES to eat!

Long Day

Today has been a really long day (for those of you who don't already know, David was laid off this morning) so I thought I would end the day with the two things that make me smile no matter what!

Uncle Jason and Aunt Mellissa took Ella on a field trip to a dinosaur park while their kids were on Spring Break a few weeks ago and SHE LOVED IT!!! Thanks guys!!

Eden being silly :)

I realize that it has been a long time since I've updated the blog, but life has been crazy and apparently it is only going to get crazier!!! I'll try to post more pics later.....

For those of you who didn't know me as a baby.....

I found some pictures my mom sent to me a while back of me when I was Eden's age. Interesting, huh? I believe she inherited my chubby cheeks. :)
