Dude!

This afternoon Andy told me, "Dude! Chill out, Mommy dude!"

More rock wall

Jamie just sent another picture & said Kaylee found some courage to climb higher, but this was as high as she'd go. Pretty good, though!

Back to back parties

Jamie took Kaylee to two birthday parties today. The first was a Taekwondo party from 12-2 followed by a rock climbing party from 2-4. These are a couple pictures he sent from the parties. He said that was as high as Kaylee would climb up the rock wall; she's always been a little afraid of heights.

Andy's elephant

Andy's art class made sponge-painted elephants today.

Cowboy time

Today Andy thought Ella should just sit with Woody instead, then decided to also share his lovies, Socks & Ribs.

Cowgirl Ella

Andy thinks Ella looks good in Woody's cowboy hat. He's been putting it on her the past few days.

More strolling pics

Ahh, I figured out how to post more than one photo at a time from my phone! If you've been wondering why there have been so many posts with one photo lately it's because I can email posts with phone camera pictures to the blog, but I just realized I can send more than just one picture per post!

Strolling

This afternoon the weather was so nice; it was close to 70 degrees and sunny (after a super dense fog this morning, though). After we picked up Kaylee from school the four of us went outside and Ella took her first stroll down the block, and in just the stroller, not even in the car seat we can put onto the stroller!

Kaylee's art class

Another Kaylee original!

Nap time!

Look who's in her own bed for a nap! Until now Ella had been napping in her bassinet, a swing, chair, car seat...

The grind

Andy's getting a feel for what working in a cubicle is like...cramped space & a computer. ;)

My prince??

Of course Andy had to try on Kaylee's tiara, too...

Princess Kaylee

My little princess watching her favorite new Disney show, Sofia the First!

We survived!

I ventured out today for the first time with all three kids and we managed to survive! We picked up Kaylee from school then headed to Target to pick up some prescriptions and a few other things. Luckily Ella slept the whole time, otherwise we might have had to cut our trip short. All in all it was a good first outing, though I think I still prefer to shop kid-free! :)

Andy's penguin

Another picture from art class - Andy had fun making the penguin and had fun running around the big room after class, too! One wall in the room is covered in mirrors, so he enjoyed watching himself run around.

Andy's art class

This is after Andy's first art class! They made colorful winter penguins. (There was another little boy, but he wouldn't stand still for the picture.)

Baby sister

"Mommy, Andy hold baby Ella! Andy hold baby Ella, please!"

He sure loves his baby sister.
