Good Books!

Because it had been way too hot to do anything outside I have been trying to think of things to do to stay cool....so after me and Miss Ellie read " Moo, Baa, LaLaLa" twenty million times and she goes to sleep...I have been reading!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie but I had not read the book until last week...I know!

It was so sad but so VERY good!

I am about 2/3 of the way finished with this book now.

Matt and I went to see the movie friday night and it was again...sad but VERY good.

I keep reading and reading but this book is pretty long and its taking me a little while :)

The next one on my "List" is this one my sister just finished.

She said it was great...so I am excited about it!

And LAST but not LEAST...

I just found out the the Emily Giffin the one who wrote this....

JUST finished another book...so I cannot wait until that one comes out!

Round and Round

Last week we met Laura and Blair at the Galleria to ride the carousel!

Both of the girls loved it!

I took a few pictures put of course they are pretty blurry...

The two that I tried to get of the two of them did not turn out very well either...

But we tried!

This one is really funny...

Two very independent, strong willed little girls that

ARE NOT gonna sit still for a picture :)

Homemade Gingersnaps

Yesterday afternoon Ellie and I made some homemade Gingersnaps!

They turned out so good.

I got the recipe here if you wanna try them out...

Happy Birthday Anna-Claire!

Last night we went to eat to celebrate this special little girl turning 5!

I cannot believe it has already been a year since this last post....

but it has....that just goes to show how fast time goes when you get old :)

We ate at a little pizza place and it had a arcade in it and Ellie had the best time!

She was just beside herself when Matt gave her a kiddy cup with Sprite in it...

She pranced all around so very proud of herself and her cup and her Sprite too!

I tried to get a picture of Ellie and Jenna...but this was the best I could get...

Matt and Brent had fun with this...but at least they were watching the kids.

What can I say...

Happy Birthday sweet Anna-Claire!

We love you!

Sweet Little Ladybug...

Ellie looked so sweet and big the other day in her ladybug outfit that I just had to take a pictures of her.

I just love that sweet little smile!

Tomato Toast Yumminess!

Lately we have been eating ALOT of this...

With all the fresh tomatoes....

And fresh bread from Pepper's Place....

It had been SO, SO good!

First day of School!

Today was the BIG day!

It was Ellie's very first day of Mother's Day Out!

I have been talking it up to her...not that she really understood it...but I tried.

My mom asked her the other day of she was going to school...and she just shook her head no...haha!

So we will see how she does when I pick her up today.

Hopefully her day will be better than when I left her this morning.

Here are some sweet, sweet pics of her first day...

Showing me her back-pack!
