Scones and band aids

I made some strawberry scones the other day.

I got the recipe here

I had one for breakfast this morning and they were great!

Ellie said she did not like them but she did gobble up the dough that was left over from them.

While I was busy mixing them up I realized that it had been unusually quiet in the house.

I asked back to her room and found this.

She said she needed some band aids because the mosquito had " eaten me up"

First/ Last Day of MDO

So another year has gone by! I cannot believe that it's finally time for Summer!

Ellie had a great year. 

Start of school in August 

End of school in May

It's crazy the different a school year makes!

Splash pad

I have been wanting to take the girls to the splash pad at the zoo for a while and I feel like it has just started being warm enough for outside water stuff. So, this past week we went and both the girls had a great time! 

Sweet sisters

I locked my keys in the car at SAMs so I had some extra time to take pictures of these two cuties in their pocket shirts that were made by aunt wissa!

These two girls are so sweet to each other it just melts my heart. 

I just love the laughs and smile and giggles they share with each other.

Mother's Day

We had a great Mother's Day weekend around here.

Matt was extra sweet and thoughtful on Mother's Day :)

While he and Ellie were making breakfast in bed for me I heard him tell Ellie " today is a special day for your mom!" He is so sweet :)

I think my favorite gift for the day was a nap....in the house all alone!

It was great getting to spend time with our families and celebrate our mothers and grandmothers!

Happy Mothers Day!

Taking it in

This week has been slow and I have had lots of time to take in and enjoy these two sweet little sugar lumps.

This sweet little bit has been her same old self...happy and cranky all at the same time :)

Despite that...I still think she is the sweetest little sister ever.

Now that the weather is warming up I just love seeing her sweet arms and legs and all those rolls! 

How can rolls be so stinkin cute?!?

Little miss Ellie has been a ball of attitude this week. Her mouth has been so smart and sassy.

But she still has so much sweetness in her I could just eat her up.

She is growing and acting so old now it makes my heart sad and happy at the same time.

She is just growing SO fast. I just want time to slow down so I can take these little sweeties in a little longer.

Mom of the year

So...I should get nominated for mom of the year!

For an afternoon snack little miss Annie ate herself some mascara.

I heard Ellie saying " mom, Annie's painting her mouth!"

As I walked in and found her...what did I do?

Grab my camera and took a picture, wipe her mouth off, then called poison control :)
