the reasons why ella didnt nap yesterday!

2009-03-26T07:43:00.001-07:00

We went to the Little Gym in Everett and then came home and Baker was at our house! Then Matias and his mommy Beth came over (Beth cut my hair!) and then we had spaghetti dinner and then fun bubbles! Plus the NEW FISH TANK.. too much excitement for a nap!

Sophia and Tahlia's 3rd Birthday!

2009-03-05T08:06:00.001-08:00

Ella had a really good time! It may have been her first time to have ice cream--I can't remember another time.. The girls scored with lots of presents. Ella got to do a fishing game and got a sweet goody bag!

Baby doll obsession!

2009-02-27T08:38:00.001-08:00

Ella LOVES her baby dolls!!!!!

Baby doll goes outside!

2009-02-27T08:05:00.000-08:00

Ok this was a one time thing. Ella LOVED it but she has no concept of keeping that stroller on the dang sidewalk = frustration for mama. And if i try and guide her where to go = frustration for ella! We had to cut the baby doll walk short after about 3 blocks. She tried to just walk right across the busy 44th ave w! But the first 5 mins or so, she was LOVING it! Maybe in a few more months we can try it again.

Big Girl

2009-02-24T07:35:00.001-08:00

I love this picture - Ella looks so much like Max and so grown up. She wants me to read Jamberry and stop taking so many pictures! Ella is obsessed with books. She is getting really good at pointing to whatever i ask her to. She knows so much more than i think! The funniest thing is that she thinks the word "raincoat" is hilarious and just cracks up laughing whenever i say it.

Chillin' in the sun!

Tea Party

2009-02-20T07:38:00.001-08:00

Ella went to her first tea party yesterday at Sophia and Tahlia's house! We had SOOO much fun. Check out the fun pictures! Kiva made us a gourmet dinner and then Ella got to try out

the girl's tea set. The pictures are in backwards order. Silly blogger. Note all the baby dolls. It was very cute.

Upgrades!

2009-02-20T07:34:00.001-08:00

Our house has seen some nice new improvements! Our new trellis and wisteria (little baby plant now), Kitchen table (thanks MOM+DAD!) and Greenhouse! (you can see through the window a little. The greenhosue was officially warmer than the house yesterday so we opened the door - SOLAR HEATING! Ignore the mess in the yard by the trellis - it's still a bit of a construction zone in our yard.

got a camera...

2009-02-15T22:45:00.000-08:00

...at Circuit City going out of business sale... then we met Darwin and Nicky over at Chuck e Cheese! here are some pics. i am sleepy - got to get to bed!

No camera

2009-02-13T16:13:00.000-08:00

So our camera is missing. It WAS broken and now it is broken and missing. So i can't even take blurry pictures! EEK! Max and I share it and he uses it a lot to post stuff on Craigslist so it gets passed back and forth a lot and now it is GONE. Well, updates: Ella is SOOOOooooo cute and wonderful. She just learned a new word. I say "Ella what does the pony say?" and she says, "Neigh!" She knows what the kitty-cat, puppy (she pants), cow and sheep say also. Ella also pretends to be a puppy and crawls around panting and she lifts her leg when i say "does puppy need to go pee-pee?" OH and she knows sign language. When she toots she waves her hand in front of her nose! Hopefully I'll find the broken camera soon and i will post some new pictures...

Nannie and Poppie Visit!

2009-02-01T12:44:00.001-08:00

We all had a great time this past week when nannie and Poppie Zych came to visit! We did a lot of fun stuff including going to Chuck E. Cheese (ELLA LOVED IT!) and Richmond Beach... We took them to the airport today and miss them already. We love you guys! See you soon.

2009-01-20T21:15:00.000-08:00

Our camera has been on the blitz.. the pictures have been coming out fuzzy when indoors but OK when we are outside.. But all of a sudden tonight, it started working for me! So here are some bath time pics! SOO cute! The last picture- if you click on it and zoom in you can see her molars! But they are only on the side you can see, nothing on the other side..

2009-01-16T15:14:00.000-08:00

I have just found out my good friend Nick fell from a balcony and is in the hospital with spinal cord damage. Even if you don't know him, PLEASE pray/think good thoughts for him. He damaged vertbrae C5/C6 which is pretty serious. Thank you!

Money

2008-12-09T14:41:00.000-08:00

Yesterday Ella brought me a quarter while i was sitting on the couch talking to Craig. I said, "OOOooo Thank you Ella, where did you get this, mommy wants more money!" and she left and then came back with another quarter... I said "Thank you Ella! These must have fell out of daddy's pocket, find me more money!!" So she starts tugging on my clothes to follow her. So i get up and she asks for me to hold her hand and she drags me all the way across the house to the bedroom where max keeps all his spare change in a ceramic pot! She is sooooo smart!

We got our tree!

2008-12-07T09:55:00.000-08:00

We went to Campbell's Tree Farm in Snohomish... They didnt have that many good trees.. so after being there 40 mins or so we finally settled on........the Most PERFECt tree ever! it is so cute and being sparser than normal you can see the ornaments.. we aren't finished decorating so i will wait to post a pic of that. Craig did the sawing and dragging! thanks craig!

Kitty

2008-12-05T08:42:00.000-08:00

I dont have any pictures uploaded yet but i have a story!
Craig moved in with us 2 days ago.. He is Max's friend from Maryland who is relocating to WASHINGTON! He is staying with us until he finds a place.. Craig has a cat, Agedor (spelled?) who is a little freaked out after driving in a car for 5 days and he hid after we had people over - we couldn't find him anywhere - We thought maybe he ran away.. Ella was very concerned we couldn't find the kitty and was helping us walk around the house looking.. At one point she picked up the rug and looked underneath. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen.She was sooo worried! We finally found him under our bed! Whew!

This was just a few months ago!

2008-12-02T08:33:00.000-08:00

Ella looks so much younger in this old picture! Amazing how time flies!

Ella's First Pony Ride

2008-11-15T16:01:00.000-08:00

We went to Country Village in Bothell today for the opening of the new, most unsafe playground ever! As a Certified Playground Safety Specialist I was appalled at the lack of surfacing and banned equipment along with protrusion, entrapment and entanglement hazards! But besides that we had a fun day with sophia and tahlia! There is also a pic of me giving ella a kiss during her bath! I don't know why this whole giant paragraph is a link! oh well!

2008-11-03T14:39:00.001-08:00

Baker was a lion and Darwin and Ella were bumblebees again.. Nicole (pictured) was a SHEEP! i was a last-minute ballerina(tu-tu only...) Ella scored multiple pieces of candy at each house and had a few licks of a DUm-dum and a bite of a 3 Muskeeters! Lucky baby! We had lots of fun except for the scary man who came out in a mask. Ella did NOT like that one.

Daddy's building a GREENHOUSE!

2008-10-31T07:55:00.000-07:00

You can see we all put our hand prints in the cement! Daddy and Uncle Craig are going to build it this weekend. Stay tuned for more pics!

Pumpkin Carvin'

2008-10-29T08:52:00.000-07:00

Ella was such a good helper! She liked to move the seeds to her big bowl and then dump them out. Good times. It was a pretty big mess but FUN! We didn't finish carving all FIVE of our pumpkins.. Pretty soon though, we only have a few days left. Max is planning on mounting them on posts in the front yard! I'll have to get a picture of that one!

BABY LOVES DISCO

2008-10-27T07:40:00.001-07:00

This weekend, Nicky, Darwin, Ella and I drove down to BABY DISCO at club Heaven Downtown. Kiva and the girls met us there also! We had a really good time DANCIN'!! Darwin and Ella were both bumblebees!!! My favorite costumes (besides our little bumblebees) was the Simpsons family! Complete with Maggie in the Baby bjorn! Ella loved the bubbles, balloons and Sophia's magic wand (not pictured). I loved the free baby legs!

2008-10-24T07:44:00.000-07:00

Here are Ella's best friends! Some people think they are triplets but Ella is the oldest here at 15 months. Darwin is next to Ella at 13.5 months and Baker is sitting down (can't walk quite yet) at 9 -10 months. These pictures were taken at Inga's "going back to mexico" party! WE MISS INGA!

Here are Ella and Baker at the park. It was SOOOO cold this day but the babies didn't care!
