1...2....3 Strikes You're Out!

Tonight we went to the season opener of the new minor league baseball team, NWA Naturals. Ella and Miller had fun playing in the park and watching Strike, the mascot. We also had a nice surprise when we ran into our friend, Brad.

Miller's 1st Haircut

Bye -Bye curl mullet. Before and After shots. When Miller was all done, Ella ran up to him and said, "Miller I love your haircut...I love it, I love it, I love it!" Too bad I had already turned off the camcorder.

Play Clothes

Ella discovered my old scrubs and lab coat I'd been holding onto for her. She requested the stethoscope as well to check everyone's hearts, but Dolly was the only patient that didn't run from her.

Top.. Bottom... Cheese... Tongue

Still the favorite time of the day for these two.

Happy Early Birthday, Jake!

Aunt Carmen, Aunt Jennifer, and Jake came for a visit last week. We celebrated his 1st birthday early. We had a great time watching the kids play together. Looking forward to seeing them again!

New View

Miller gets to watch the dvd's with his sister now that he's forward facing in the car. We love looking back to see this sweet face.

See My Panties?

Ella had to show Miller & Gable her big girl panties as she's started to really work on potty training this week. She's doing a great job of earning stickers for her potty book. She may prove Mommy wrong and be potty trained BEFORE Miller.

Happy Birthday, Mommy!!

We love you and hope you had a super day with no (ok less) whining!!

What Chocolate?

These two after getting into the Easter Candy from the hunt....stinkerpots!

Decorating Eggs

After breakfast this morning, the girls decorated easter eggs to take back home for a hunt at their house. And if you were wondering, the Benton County Tooth Fairy was very generous. We had a great week with the girls (mostly indoors due to rain) and always look forward to their next visit.

Nadia Lost Her 2nd Tooth

And it happened right here during Spring Break! We can't wait to see how much the Benton County Tooth Fairy leaves!

Easter Fun with Grandma

Since the girls wouldn't be with Grandma over Easter, she decided she would bring Easter to them. They made chocolate dipped twizzlers and had a hunt outside. They've been conducting their own egg hunts in the house ever since.

Happy 1st Birthday Miller!!!!!

Mommy, Daddy, & Ella decided Miller couldn't be the only one having so much fun with the icing. Big Boy celebrated his day with family, cake, balloons, and presents (of which the cousins and sister opened all). Thank you to everyone that traveled and loved this wonderful boy on his big day!

Easter 2008

Look What the Sun Brought Out!

We are LOVING this weather. Miller just loves to be outside and doesn't care where he is or who he's with. Ella busted out her tricycle and her feet could reach the pedals! What a difference a few months makes, now she can go 'Superfast'. We're not sure how she felt daddy's tie contributed to the whole process.

Toddler Movie Theater

Ella & Miller taking in a baby einstein video. Could they BE any closer to the television?

Miller's 1st Steps

Miller has taken a step here or there over the past week, but today started taking up to 3 or 4! Just tilt your head to the left to view. :)

11 Months

Sigh....where does the time go? Miller started saying recognizable words this week. 'Eya' for Ella, 'Ada' for Dada, and 'Ana' for Mama. And of course, his signature growl for everything else(especially when told 'no'). Our little ironman prefers the kitchen chairs to a push toy. He can stand in one position and pull and swing the chair around himself. What does an ironman eat? This evening it was a hot dog, baked beans(hence the stripped wardrobe), yogurt, and 2 jars of baby food veggies. I see much larger grocery bills in our future.
