New phrases and such...

While we were gone Ella surprised me with two new phrases.

One day she crawled up on my lap, cuddled against me and said "I love you Mama." Needless to say I melted.

On a VERY different day I was getting dressed and she was playing with two toys that were having "a conversation" with each other. I wasn't paying much attention when I thought I heard the phrase "Holy S%#t!" used in context. I calmly looked at her and asked "What did you jut say?" and she just a calmly responded "Holy S%#t!" I decided it was best to ignore it and have yet to hear it again.

Happy Birthday Rob!

I know, it's a little late. We had a great celebration during our trip.

Ella and Ben insisted on having their own candles to blow out.

Thank goodness we don't have Pitbulls.

Chillin'...

For those of you who don't know, we recently returned from a visit to Vancouver, Canada to visit friends.

I found these boots during a shopping trip. They were a bit big but Ella loved them. I finally had to hide them because she would get so angry when she couldn't keep them on while walking.
