My little Alice turned three yesterday. Wow how fast time fly's. She thinks she is so big. She say's some of the cutest things like "oh my goodness" and "thank you so much." She loves Ella and trying to take care of her. She is really into princesses. We watched our wedding video on our anniversary the other night with Alice. She was so cute. She thought that John was a prince, I was a princess and we got married in a castle. She say's when she grows up she wants to get married in a castle too. She loves pretend play, doing anything outside and helping mom make cookies. She is so full of energy and keeps me going. She has forever changes our life's and we love her!

Five Years

That was then....

This is now....

It's been a great five years! I love you baby!

I dont know where to start....

That's Vaseline in her hair as well as all over her carpet and bed

10 lb bag of flour dumped out

Ella thought it was great

This is mascara...it is also all the carpet in both our bedrooms

Ella turned 7 months old. She's 15 lbs 26 inches tall. She FINALLY started to eat baby food. Yeah! She also goes from sitting to a one knee crawling position. Not sure I'm ready for that. She is such a good girl. And the cutest thing I've ever seen.

This week has been a mess. Literally. The pictures say it all.

Vancouver eh!

John and I decided to go to Vancouver for the day. We just wanted to get as close to the Olympics as possible. Go USA! It was awesome! It was fun just to be there. They had streets blocked off with bands playing, hot dog stands and other activities. We found this cute little cupcake shop and had to try them out. I got a maple one, John a red velvet and Alice a diva. They were delicious! It was way worth it and a great first trip to Canada!

Happy Valentines Day

Cute kids

I just can't get over how stinkin cute my kids are!

2010 baby!

Cindy was still at our house for New Years. We had pizza, watched a movie and started the New Year with grape cider.

We found cheap air plane tickets, so the next day we flew home! Kaden
and Alice were so cute. They held hands and talked in the back of the van

all the way to granny's house.

My sisters and I were lucky enough to get a girls night. The guys watched

the kids and we went to a movie.

We had dinner at Rod and Katie's with all the Stuart's.

Katie, Natalie, me, Mindy

And Ella turned 6 months old! She is such a good baby. She wants to eat

food now, but I've yet to find something she likes. She thinks her big sister

is funny and loves when she gives her attention. She is also liking her

jumperoo. She is such a joy. We love you sweet baby girl!

I can't believe January is almost over. It really is crazy how fast a year goes by.
This year I've been graduated 10 years!! CRAZY. Hope everyone had a happy

New Year.

Merry Merry Christmas!

Cinderella and the price dancing

This year we had John's mom "grandma Cindy" at our house for Christmas. Alice knew Santa was coming which made it so much fun. She is still kind of scared of him though, so she wanted to make sure he wasn't staying. She also loved the story she calls Mary and the donkey and has asked John to tell her for a bed time story. We had a great Christmas and having Cindy here with us made our holiday!

O Christmas tree

Alice loved running around the lot trying to find our tree.

This year we found the prettiest tree. I love the holidays with all the yummy smells and warm feelings. This truly is my favorite time of year. Happy holidays!!

The little turkey

Today has just been one of those days. It has been pretty nice outside lately so I let Alice play in the back yard. Well without me knowing she brought in a bucket full of mud and pine cones. Then she decided to try and wash it down the sink and flush it down the toilet. Long story short I had mud, pine cones and water ALL over my bathroom. As I was cleaning that huge mess up ( thank heavens it was in the bathroom ) Alice went into the kitchen and dumped the salt All over the floor. Fun right? It doesn't end there. About an hour later I sat down to feed Ella. When I was finished I headed up stairs to find Alice with a tube of toothpaste squeezed out all over my carpet. That is not fun to clean up. To end the day she sat on the couch and colored on her BRAND NEW pajamas with a pen! Can I just say I am SO happy the little turkey is asleep!!

My baby girls

I was holding Ella on my lap this morning and wishing I could freeze time for just a moment. I just love how little she looks curled up on my lap. Before she was born I would hold Alice and think she was still my baby girl and now she's all grown up. It just happens so fast. I love my girls!

Sisters

The other day I put this little owl onsie on Ella and Alice decided she needed an owl shirt too. So I found her one and had to share some pics. Alice loves Ella and is always wanting to hold her. Ella is starting to really like Alice too. She's starting to giggle when Alice entertains her. So cute.
