Chels and Ry being silly !!

They dressed him up for ever with these underwear - good thing he is such a good sport!!

Elleys First Steps!!!

Can you believe it ?!!? She has grown up so fast - it feels like just yesterday I was bringing her home from the hospital and trying to teach chance how to change diapers :) He is a pro now!!
She has the funniest personality - she is very fiesty - i think she learned that from her big brother. She tries to do everything he does which is why I think she started walking so fast, she can't stand that he can move around faster then she can. They are very different though in some ways - like he was ok with anyone holding him and would laugh and love on anyone - he was very independent , but she is very territorial of me and Chance- she will not let anyone else hold her if I am in the room and she follows me around wherever I go. I didn't get to spend as much time with him as I have with Elley because I was working so much so I still feel like I am doing some of this for the first time - I am so greatful that I get to stay home with them both now and I can be a part of all the cool things they do!!

Elley met Santa!!

So it looks like she is ok with the Santa idea in this picture. But she had not seen him yet , this is what happened when she turned around.........




She saw his face and she froze for a second. Then Santa said Hi Baby and she lost it! She was screaming and hiding her face. She doesn't know how cool Santa is yet :)



But Parker does!! This year is so fun because he is old enough to really understand and he wants to decorate everything. He really like to give gifts to other people too - I am so proud of him :)
