children's museum

Here is elly m. at the children's museum with her friend isabelle. It was absolutley hilarious when we went into the mock little kroger grocery store. you can totally tell that she watches me like crazy. she walked around that grocery store with her little head up high with pride as she looked for groceries. i wonder sometimes what exactly she is thinking while i am doing things like grocery shopping... she must think that i just randomly throw things into the cart...s oooooo cute.

candy hangover.

can you tell which child has a candy hangover??? or maybe it is a disappointing look because i burnt the blueberry muffins because after i put them in the oven, i got on the computer..i am not sure what the face is for??

trick or treat...

it doesn't take them very long to learn what exactly it means when you say trick or treat. elly m. had a good time being led on a leash. yes, i bought a kid leash. what would you do if you had a baby and a one year old???

she was so excited about the candy that she ate it right out of the wrapper as we were walking... and of course she had her click clackey shoes on... you shouldn't leave home without them.

The cousins.

Here are the four cousins on jonathan's side of the family. the two that aren't ours are bella's children. little aaron was born about 2 weeks before ruthie... and olivia is almost 2 1/2. it is not easy to get them to all look at the camera.. i mean... 4 little ones.. yeah right.

in the van

it's 70 degrees here and elly m is wearing her winter hat...silly girl

WHEEL OF FORTUNE

I did it... i went to the wheel of fortune try-outs last weekend with my wonderful friend jessica.... it was fun, but kind of disappointing. we laughed extremely hard at the old people that were really there at the casino gambling... hilarious.. they ask the same questions as they do on the show... what do you do for a living and what are your hobbies...no brainer i think.. i mean you could even lie to make yourself look cooler.. but no... their answers were often.."nothin'" duh... you idiots.. you ahve to do something.. i watch wheel of fortune.. duh. anyways. jess and i still have a chance, they have one more audition after looking at the applications. i will keep my fingers crossed, but hilarious experience anyways.

more little ladies...

We are having a good time with the weather being 70 degrees... lovin' it. maybe i will get some park pictures soon. we go all the time, i just for some reason don't have time to take pics. hmmmm... wonder why???

Little Ladybugs

As you can see we celebrate Halloween. But these are pictures from when we went to my friend Teresa's harvest party. i will post the halloween ones later. the costumes look even better on Halloween night. heehee. i hope they don't hate me someday for making their costumes, but i mean it is much cheaper to buy felt at walmart than buying costumes for a lot more. at least on these i used matching thread.

what a weekend...

so today we started a project on elly m.'s room that we didn't know would take this long, i mean. we started a couple weeks ago taking the wallpaper down, bright dark blue mind you. only to find out that there was yet another thick layer of... you guessed it brightly painted blue wall paper. ugh.... it has been one frustrating moment after another, but jonathan and paul are working so hard on it. i help when i am not hanging out with the two cutest girls in the world. here a few pics. to show just how cute they are.

the bumbo seat..

this seat has been so much fun to use, not only for ruthie as you can see. i can tell you that if you don't have one, go to ebay and buy one for 20 bucks. they are totally worth it. so much more eye contact can be made with little ruthie... she just loves it. she can sit and watch us eat dinner and stare at elly m. all the time. it has been fun and as you can see, it makes a great hat for dads.
