My Funny Little Girlies

My kids crack me up. Ella is the funniest toddler I have ever been around in my life. I know I am biased, but I really think she is. She comes up with the funniest comments and questions every minute of every day. And there is just something about Lily's grin that makes me laugh out loud every time I see it. So here are my funny little girlies and their contagious smiles.

Daddy put Ella on his bike and she loved it! She didn't stop laughing the entire time she was on it.

A Beautiful Fall Day

Today was an absolutely beautiful day. It was warm, sunny, and a perfect day to get my girls outside for some fresh air. The light was beautiful as the sun was going down and I love how it made my girls' eyes sparkle. I wish everyday could be like today!

Behind in Editing

When I started this blog, my intention was to take photos every day and post at least one of those photos every evening. I didn't realize how much work that was going to entail. Since then I have discovered that with two very demanding kids I don't always have time in the evening to edit the photos that I want to. Because of this, I think I am going to have to break down and accept the fact that sometimes I have to post photos that weren't taken on the day of the post. I will still post a photo (or more) every day, and I will try to make it a photo of the current day, but sometimes the photos will be from another day. Today is one of those days. I am soooooo behind in my editing right now and after a busy day of shopping with my girls, I haven't had time to edit any photos tonight. So my photos for today are a couple of ring shots from Mar's wedding on Saturday. Hopefully I will get caught up soon!

Back to Blogging...

Okay, so Mar's wedding is over and things are finally starting to slow down a bit for me, so I am back to blogging. I am sooooo far behind in editing that I don't have much to post right now, so I'm just going to put up a couple of snaps from Mar's bachelorette for tonight. You can find the rest on facebook by tomorrow night, hopefully. I also hope to be back to my regular everyday photos tomorrow. Thanks for being patient while I took the last week off!
We threw Mar a masquerade themed party, so I made the cake to match.



The bridal party, Laura-Lee, Shauna, Mel, and myself, all giving the bride a kiss. Bridal party again. All of the girls, almost ready to go out. And finally all ready with our masks.

Wow, I'm getting really bad at this...

It turns out that I just keep getting worse at keeping up with my blog, but I promise that I will get back on track after this week is over. I spent all of last week planning and getting ready for Mar's bachelorette party (watch out for a few pics to be posted) and this week is going to be absolutely crazy with trying to get everything in place for the wedding. So if I don't get all of my posts in, please forgive me. I'll keep taking photos and try to post when I can, but I have to put my little sister's wedding first this week. By the time next Monday rolls around, I will get back on track....promise!

Catching Up

I'm only a couple of weeks into my photo of the day and have already missed two days in a row. This week has been crazy and I have been falling asleep early so my posts haven't been getting done. I've been taking the photos, but just not posting them. So tonight I am going to post a bunch of shots to catch myself up on the week. Most of them are just simple snapshots, but I hope you enjoy!
Here is Miss Ella and her first successful big girl ponytail. She looked so grown up that it made me a bit sad. She loved it though, as you can see. Side view of her big girl ponytail:More of Lily's cute little smile, which looks sooooo much like Ella's did at that age:Today Ella came running in the room in this mask. I pretended like I didn't know it was her...
So she promtly pulled her mask off, declaring, "Mommy, it's me, Ella!" She thought it was hilarious!Meet Ella's two best friends, blanky and baby. This is actually blanky number two, since we lost her original one in the mall one day. I think I was more upset than she was and we did manage to find her another one that she accepted rather well. Here is Ella sleeping with them. She won't go to bed without them. I'm glad that she has something that is so comforting to her. Lily likes to sleep when we go out for walks and she always looks so peaceful.
{As a side note, let me just state that I was always one of those people who insisted that my kids would NEVER and I mean NEVER have a soother. When Ella was about four days old, I realized that sometimes babies just need something to suck on and I gave in and gave her one. I took it away the week that she turned a year old and I plan to do the same with Lily.}Ella was very interested in the red leaves that she was finding on our walk:And she LOVES her shadow. It amazes her now it follows her around.

Daddy's Girls

Since today was a holiday we got to stay home all day. We were pretty busy cleaning up the house and unpacking all of the things that we moved back from the Island, but I made sure to take a few quick snapshots of Shawn playing with our girls. They were both very happy to have him home for the day.
