Kids at Jess' Shower

No pictures of the Bride-to-be, just the cousins all watching SHREK. Charlie, Carson, Ashley, Elyse, Brooklyn and Quinn. It was a really fun shower and lunch.

My 2 year old!!

This is Elyse in her room when she should have been napping, I went in and she had taken off her diaper and put on her "rainy boots" to "clean-up" her room. I just had to laugh and grab the camera!
Precious Paige in a little knit hat that Grandma had bought in Germany for Elyse but it was too small and it fits Paige perfect!

New Camera

We just got a new camera and here are some shots of my girls. I love the black and white ones. Elyse is my little poser that is why I love the first one, she wasn't paying any attention to me.

Paige is such a good baby, this is her sleeping in my arms.

YAHOO - STAMPEDE

My little cowgirl

Stampede! I think this was Elyse's favorite part. Who doesn't love "Those Little Donuts"

Elyse and Laura. She is all smiles now, but she really didn't like the "swings", she is still telling me how she didn't like this ride. We bought a ride pass but she was about an inch too short for most of the rides. We went on a few and she liked the funhouses and the Merry-go-round. Maybe next year we'll get to go on some other rides :)

Tyler, Elyse and Connor at the Market Mall Stampede breakfast. It was crazy busy but we did get to the petting zoo and had the girls picture taken.

My other little cowgirl - she is always along for the ride but she was in the western spirit.

Such nice hair

Elyse loves to suck her thumb and twist her hair. Well this morning she woke up with a HUGE knot that I couldn't untangle so here is the chunk we had to cut out! I am trying a french braid tonight but I don't think it will last long!

Beautiful Day at the Zoo

We had a great day at zoo - when we finally got there. Getting 2 kids out the door is quite the feat! I seem to always be at least an hour slower than I think. We were only there a short time but we got a season's pass (thanks Mom and Dad!!) so I am sure we will be back alot. Elyse is chasing after a peacock that was wondering around - it was pretty neat and she wanted to get up close - she has no fear of any animals - but bugs are another story :)

Paige really enjoyed her first Zoo visit - she slept through most of it.

"LOOK MOM A SNAKE !!"

Mom came with us to the zoo which was great. She is so helpful and I really do need another set of hands these days. It is hard to go any where with a newborn and a two year old.

Paige

Peaceful little girl
I wish she was like this at 3:00am.Things are going well, Paige is a great baby but loves to party at night. She likes to wake me up every hour, nurse for 5 mins and then fall back to sleep for another hour or so. So we are all getting pretty sleep deprived

I like this picture - Paige is really good at scowling and loves looking at you like "what's going on around here?" I wonder sometimes too :)
