HAPPY JULY 4TH!!

Well it was a rainy 4th- BUT the rain held off just enough for a PARADE. Other than that we did nothing! It was uneventful day, didn't even watch one FIREWORK show.
The last picture is an updated family picture taken at Kings Island. Oh and Ella is now crawling she has been for a few weeks- I just have been lazy and forgot to post this information...and what a new world this has been for LIAM with sharing!!

New VIDEO CAMERA!!

I just bought a new video camera which I LOVE, so enjoy!

Summer!

Well it's only June and already we've been busy! We went to the zoo...Liam thought it was Heaven with all the reptiles...and yes he found a zoo keeper that had a real snake, and of course he couldn't keep his little hands off of it! He is a slow learner with bugs...today he picked up a millipede and it stung him!! Which I told him it was going too.
Also we went to King's Island with Jayden and Ryleigh...I didn't take but one picture...my two lightweights passed out in the stroller...my kids LOVE their naps! Which I wouldn't have it any other way...
The rest of the pictures are just some funny moments thus far this summer...Ella had some crazy hair one morning, couldn't resist a snap shot. And Liam came out one morning wearing his Daddy's boots...I didn't expect it, but when I saw him I just about tripped over him trying to run and grab the camera! Ella is Still not crawling...all she wants to do is stand...she can stand up from sitting....who knows if she will even crawl??? In case your wondering, Liam has a caterpillar on his finger.

Camping with the Critters

I had a "spur" of the moment decision and decided that we should go camping with daddy, and his Single friends! And we had a fantastic time! Liam of course, was in critter heaven. Ella did just fine...not sure if she could handle 2 days of it, but for one night she did just fine. And with daddy being a Marine, he seems to think we all can handle field like conditions...basically you have the barest essentials and you just enjoy nature..the one with Liam on the potty is priceless! Of course daddy thought the seat should be counted as a luxury item. Well enjoy the pictures! Also I changed the music up a little- put a little country with the scenes. We went camping in "Jackson County" hence Jackson-by Mr. Cash. And Liam loves Folsom Prison Blues- cause of the train lyric in the beginning. Carey- John Denver is for you!

Spring is here!

Yes its been awhile....and we have had some great weather and We are so looking forward to the SUMMER!!
Here are some pictures...Liam has a pet rabbit at his Grandma Shelia's house...all the grandchildren do except Ella, and yes, the are equipped with a harness and leash for all the walking aka: hopping they do in the yard for the exercise time!
He also discovered Fishing..and has no problem picking up the worms, fish, crickets,grasshoppers..slugs or any other creepy critter that sometimes find their way in our house...Dead or alive. And then I squeal like a girl and dispose of them.
The picture of Liam and Ella together happens to be an everyday thing: Liam enjoys reading to his little sister and Ella enjoys eating or tearing up his books.
And yes in this video she has been pulling up: I could not believe my eyes! She just turned 7 months and has not crawled or anything else but has now decided she can stand. My little baby is growing TOO Fast!

Ella is 6 months old!

Ella is 6 months old now and yes that is a snake in her mouth....for those of you who don't know, Liam is OBSESSED with snakes so he is teaching his little sister to enjoy them too. She has cut two teeth on the bottom front....that was fun for a few weeks. She can "almost" sit up by herself. She WAS sleeping all night from 9pm to around 5 or 6 am, but that all went kaput when the teeth started to come.
They both had a Dr.'s appt. this week and Liam weighed in at 36.6lbs and he is 39 1/2 inches tall...and Ella weighed in at 18.10 lbs and is 29 inches long...
In case your wandering what is on her mouth...PRUNES...yum....she had some bowel trouble....lets just say that it ended up more on the outside of her lips than inside!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIAM!
Liam turned 3 years old on April 7th and he already acts older....with sentences such as "mommy, my belly hurts." Why I ask? "Because its hungry" ....he also still loves his naps...we went for a walk this week and he said, "Mommy, I'm tired...lets take a nap" and as soon as we walked through the door he went down for a nap.....thank goodness!
We celebrated with Logan, our neighbor friend on his birthday and we had a birthday party with the family the weekend of March 30.
I also have some Easter pictures to post...if anyone needs to know who the little baby is (besides Ella, its our newest cousin- Lanie Lynn) which someone needs to help me with the spelling I may have it wrong. Also took Liam to a barber to get his hair cut for the first time and he did GREAT! I am showing a picture because he really buzzed his hair!

Nothing too new here...Chris has been promoted to Sgt. Spurlock, which he now works 3rd shift...that's fun keeping the kids quiet all day. It hasn't been too bad though.
Ella's favorite thing is to chew her feet! Oh, and let me just say this...Liam is now potty trained!
I told you all I would win!!
