Ella is 6 Months Old!!!!!

I am speechless. Half a year old already. Best eater, sleeper, smiler and weeper (if you put her down). Ella is babbling, laughing out loud, rolling over and practicing her balance in the sitting position. Her favorite things are her brother's making her laugh and being outside. We love you beautiful girl- happy 6 months!

Outside Time

Snowing yesterday and 60 degrees today. This weather is unbelievable. Unsure what the temperatures are going to be from day to day, we are spending every second outside on pretty days. Typically, Tyler and Carson will play on the playground or outside before nap and then we rush to enjoy the rest of the day when everyone wakes up from a nap. All three prefer staying outdoors and we are all getting excited for the weather to get warmer. Tyler and I have already started to make big plans for this spring and summer. Our plans include a lot of rafting, blueberry picking and we might be building a tree house for the boys in the near future.

Just a few pictures I just took before we came in today, Carson is off pushing the dump truck to the side while Tyler is letting Ella lay on him. In the picture below I was trying to figure out how to do the self timer and get a group shot. I was having Tyler sit with her just so I could adjust where the camera was shooting. Ella must have gotten tired of waiting and reclined back to try to take a nap. Tyler is so sweet to her. I will say it again, she does not have any idea of how good she has it- both boys are crazy about her.

Almost 6 Months Old...

Dump Truck Racing

The boys have discovered a new source of entertainment, downhill dump truck racing. They take turns pushing each getting the truck in position. On Carson's turn, Tyler kindly runs along side of him. I am curious to see how long they are satisfied with this new thrill before wanting to try something from higher ground and faster moving.

Big Tommy, Little Tommy

Just a preface to this blog, it took me 20 minutes to convince Tommy to let me take this picture. We were at Tyler's school picking him up and a father of one of my friends was there with his dog. The dog's name? TOMMY!! And the dog's sweater even matched my Tommy's shirt. It was hysterical, to me at least. Tommy- big Tommy, did not find it so amusing. Every time I yelled "Tommy" they both looked. And I made sure I called their name out at least every 2 minutes for comedic value alone. This made my day.

Pictures Tell A Story...

Not quite sure what the story is in this case, but something was going on. All I know is that I was in the kitchen fixing dinner when I saw Carson get way too excited seeing the empty car seat next to where Ella was sitting. I grabbed the camera and started shooting while they laughed, rocked together and carried on. Carson had the time of his life and I am pretty sure Ella was happy to have a buddy sit with her.



Ella first acted shocked at C-Horse's rowdy behavior...

...but eventually loosened up.
