Busy, busy

I’ve been so busy lately . . . and it shows.  Miss Elle has been busy too.  She finally figured out how to climb up onto Truitt’s bed.  In this photo she is soaking up the view from the window beside his bed.  It’s probably similar to sitting atop Mt. Everest and soaking in the view :) .  Of course the braver she gets, the more bumps and bruises she accumulates.  She’s already fallen off once today.  This is only the beginning . . .

The ABC’s of Elle . . .

For Elle’s first birthday I made her an alphabet book with photos of familiar things.  I know that many of you have seen the book already, but I also wanted to make a slideshow of the pages.  I recently figured out how to create DVD’s of my slideshows that we can play on the TV, so I was excited to complete the ABC slideshow.  I don’t think I ever shared the book on my blog so this will be new to some of you.  Anyway, you can click HERE or on the image above to see A through Z.  I was so happy with the book.  Elle loves to look at it too which makes smile :) .

Fashionista

I think I have a girlie-girl on my hands.  Elle loves to “accessorize”.  She will wear sunglasses around the house, rubber bands on her wrists like bracelets, stuffed animal snakes as boas and anthing else she can find that’s wearable.  She also loves to give kisses with her super puckered lips . . . daddy taught her that.  Here she is giving kisses to Isaac while sitting in her doll stroller (she likes it when her brothers push her around in it).  Can you see Isaac in Elle’s sunglasses?  Love this girl so much :) .

Bath time!

Off from school again today :)

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!  I just received the most beautiful flowers from my family as well as the sweetest card ever.  Each of my boys (the BIG one included) wrote me a very heartfelt note that brought tears to my eyes.  I’m such a lucky wife and mom!

Another *snow* day . . . YAY!

Today we actually bundled up and played in the snow!  The boys helped Joe shovel the driveway too.  Elle was only out briefly.  She was not a big fan of the snow (or the cold).  Bodie (Nancy’s dog) was with us for a little while too- don’t you just love his boots!

*snow***day**

Yay . . . a snow day!  The kids painted today . . . FUN!

Pretty girl . . .

This little girl is so hard to photograph.  I guess it’s because I’m her momma and she really just wants me to play with her or hold her- not stick the big ole’ camera in her face.  I just love the bottom right photo of her.  Owen made her smile so perfectly . . . and she just had to be standing in front of the crazy cluttered closet.  Oh well, I still love that grin.

“Little miss sis”

That’s what we call her.  She’s looking out the window at her biggest brother Isaac.  Elle always lights up when she sees her brothers.

Big Brother

Elle loves all of her big brothers so much.  She wants to do everything that they are doing.  I have a feeling that will get her into some trouble in the future :) .
