Yep. Definitely my child.

This is where Elli decided to crash this afternoon.

BIg News!

At least in this house. Zeke is 4 months old now, and Elli has hit the 2 and a half mark! We took Zeke to the doctor yesterday, and he was just an ounce under 16 lbs and 25 and some change inches long! He has begun scooting across the floor, and finally yesterday evening (he must have heard the doctor talking about it) ROLLED! Elli is still doing really well with her potty training, and still has not been in a diaper since Thursday morning, and I think I can say with certainty that she will not ever wear a diaper again! My business is getting a little crazy over here as I enter the official testing phase for my water version. We are beginning to talk insurance and incorporating! All a bit scary, but makes it seem so official at the same time. Well, I have been the typical 2nd time mama, and have forgotten to take Zeke's picture on his actual 4 month birthday. So, I will take some pictures of the kiddos this afternoon and update with them later on!

Big girl!!!

So, we have decided that Elli is no longer wearing diapers- started Thursday morning. She wakes up DRY in the morning, and is getting pretty good at going in the potty (when we take her). Baby steps for sure, but NO MORE DIPES!!! Such a big girl!!

Cousins!

I have to say that I am loving all the time I am getting to spend with Lynnette, and consequently that Zeke and Sydnee get to spend together. They are definitely going to be best buds growing up. Zeke will be there to defend Syd, and Syd will be able to introduce Zeke to all her hot friends. lol Ahhh... good times to come!
Then (Their first meeting, Zeke 1 day old Syd 6 weeks)

And now (Zeke 3.5 months, Syd 5 months)

Filling water jugs..

This is what Elli has learned to help Papa with in the garden...

Magic Mountain and ROAD TRIP!!

All things considered, Zeke did really well. We left so darn late on Friday that he only woke to eat once the entire drive over, and then dream fed upon our arrival at 2 AM. Got up nice and early, and got ready for our super fun day!!! It was an awesome day, aside from the fact that the X was closed! What kind of crap is that?! But we purchased flash passes, and were able to get on the Tatsu twice! Only having to wait about 40 minutes each time instead of the 3+ hour wait everyone else had! The babes did really well in the park, and had a lot of fun hanging out with Grandma. The trip home, while seemingly quicker, was not so entertaining for Zeke. Since it was daylight he preferred to be fed every couple of hours, and wasn't digging being stunk in his seat with no one to entertain him. Here are a couple of pictures of our trip.

It's April!!!

So, April has been such an exciting month so far. NOT! No one likes going to the dentist, seriously! Although, I do like going to the office and socializing with other adults, and who hates having their kids gushed over? But having to go back the next day for cavities... boo. Not to mention it was also our 3rd Anniversary. We aren't big celebrators when it comes to things like that, so that wasn't a huge deal. Now the fun... We are headed to 6 Flags tomorrow!!!! I am so over the top excited to get back there. It has been 3 very long years. But at the same time, I am right in the middle of trying to figure out this new carrier and how I what materials I want to use that I am kind of stressed about leaving. But it will all still be there when I get back I guess. So happy April!! I'm hoping this month just flies by so it can be my birthday!! Woohoo!!

Random thought:
Why do police think they are so cool? Seriously. In the past couple of weeks I have seen cop cars do some very unlawful things, with no apparent need. The first was in a left turn hand lane, but decided he wanted to go right. Instead of doing what everyone else has to do (turn and then take a U) he turns on his lights so he can just turn right in front of everyone. As soon as he was turned the lights went off. Lame. The second one, a cop was coming up to an intersection that was red and there were other cars already stopped. So, instead of waiting for the light so he can turn right, he drives ON THE SIDEWALK, so that he can turn. This time the guy didn't even use lights! UMM HELLO!!! Just because you drive the car doesn't mean you get to do crap like that! Double lame.

Comment spam?

Yeah, that had me scratching my head? You really think posting spam in my comments is going to bring you in a lot of business? Lame.

Just like Papa...

Some of Elli's favorite things to do either involve or are because of Papa George. Playing flute, bouncing on her horse, being outback and now gardening. Here are some pictures from helping my dad this afternoon.


And she always wants a hand shot! Silly girl!

Happy boy!

Zeke has started giggling and smiling a whole lot more lately. Enough to actually attempt to catch it on film. Still working on a video, but soon enough. Some of the pics are a little fuzzy, as he likes to move around when he laughs.
