Anika's first taste of cereal

So we have been starting to give Ani cereal, she was funny at first and now is getting the hang of it. Ella loves to help feed her too!

Here are the girls!

Here is crazy Ani-boo-hoo (that's what Ella calls her in a high pitch voice:)

Ella fell asleep while I was getting Anika fed

Halloween Night

Here are a few from Halloween night

Halloween!!!!

Ella had so much fun during Halloween. She loved her costume, the red shoes and especially the part that Ani was the lion. She had us all dressed up for the trunk or treat and told us each what to be. Ella-Dorothy, Ani-the lion, mommy-scare crow, daddy (was in Australia), Bobo-tin man, and Grammy JJ-mean witch. I was so busy working the booth, that the only picture I got was of me, Ella and Bobo...sorry. Luckily May's mommy and daddy took some pics for me:) Thanks!

My funny girls

So for my birthday, Alan bought me an iphone...I love it! I can take pictures all the time. Ella's favorite thing to do is lay by Ani and pose for a picture. Anika happed to smile right at the perfect time:)

Sea World

So last Saturday, we enjoyed our time we had together and used our free passes to go to Sea World for a few hours. Ella loved it...especially the dolphins and Shamu

The Hottest Day!

So last week was so hot, that we went to the beach in October! That is why I love California!

My cute Ani!

I love little Anika, she is so sweet and looks like me!

Marysvale, Utah

I thought I would show you our little vacation we took up to the family cabin. Ella LOVED it, and still wants to sleep on the floor in a bed like Grandpa John made for her:),,,so we let her.

Ella is 3!!!

So its about a month late...but I cannot believe my Ella is 3!!! She is a crazy little girl that is always talking and telling me the whole story, without leaving out any details...what can I say she is all girl:)

Ella Went Surfing!

So, Daddy had a big talk with Ella, and finally talked her into going surfing with him. We got to the beach, and she almost forgot the deal she made, but luckily she went in.

First Day of Preschool

Yeah, so Ella had her first day of Preschool. She had so much fun and cannot wait to go back, either can mommy:) This is Ella and her two good friends, Carter and Kallie

One minute baby, the next a mommy

Ella's favorite thing to do right now is try on Ani's clothes to see if they fit


Then she turns and decides she want to be like mommy: lifting up her shirt to nurse and all!

My crazy girls!!!

Here is just a glimpse of the girls acting silly

Elke and Alan

So, I am trying to enter the blogger world...we will see how this goes
