Forget about Sour Grapes.......Logan says, "SOUR APPLES"

Round 2: Logan vs. Apples

We are currently on day 3 of apples.....today was a good day. He actually ended up eating his apples and cereal and opened his mouth for each bite. Day 1 & 2 weren't as "successful"

Day 1......not so sure

Day 2......look at these hilarious sour faces.........

just when you thought it couldn't get worse.......

he even did little shivers and shakes......

Nannie and Muntz have arrived

Ella is having a great time.......Nannie and Muntz have arrived!

Ella got to go to the airport with her daddy to pick them up!

I don't think she has stopped talking since they have arrived.......she needs to update them on many months of learning she has done.....

Logan has given them lots of smiles! And some cuddles too!

There was no sitting back and watching at the park for Nannie and Muntz.....

A Rice Cereal Eater and a Monster Battler

Tonight was the night.....We decided it was time to give our little guy some rice cereal. He is nearly 6 months (sad mommy, growing too fast) ..... He seemed to like the first few bites but wasn't too sure about it after all at the end!

These two really love each other.......Ella is always concerned about her little brother and takes time out of her "busy" schedule to check on him often and play with him......whenever Logan starts to get a little fussy, it just takes a bit of attention from his big sis to put the smile back on his face

I had food poisoning on Sunday and was not feeling good at all......I was upstairs in bed and Ella was downstairs and SOOOOO concerned about me. Paul said she asked over and over if I was better. I heard her tell him that she needed to get down from dinner and come upstairs....when he asked why she replied " I have to go tell mommy that I love her. THAT will make her feel all better." She is so sweet! She drew many pictures for me and I was feeling better on Monday, but Grammie was nice enough to come over to help out with the kiddos for the day so I could get a little extra rest.

Storytime............Ella helped her daddy read the book.

Just a cute photo

A couple of cute videos.....

1) Logan eating his cereal

2)When Grammie was visiting, Ella decided to "battle" some monsters that kept coming in the front door so it was "safe" for us in the house. I think she has been watching too much Scooby-doo (not sure why the video is sideways....sorry)

An Hour in the Life of my "Loags"

"Hey mommy.....I am getting to be such a big boy now.....almost 6months ya know. I can almost sit up on my own, but not quite yet. Do you think you could put me in that great seat I have? Oh, and please....please...please could you give me my toys to play with......thanks mommy" "i love you mommy....come closer for a slobbery kiss"

"you.....yeah you mommy.....come closer to me"

"oh my gosh...... "

(in complete awe of his crazy sister)

"i love my whooz-it mommy....it's my favorite"

"mommy, i told you that i want to sit up...........look at me....hee,hee,hee"

"look at me mommy, have you ever seen anything cuter than this"

"this is the best toe i have ever tasted in my whole life"

"are you kidding me? we aren't suppose to chew on our toes"

Dr.Seuss Tea........How much fun will it be?

For several months now, we have been awaiting our Dr.Seuss tea party. Jen had invited us to join her, Bradley, and Brooke and we couldn't have been more excited. Ella, the Cat in the hat, and I met up with the McGlasson's and followed them out to Tempe to the Hackett House. It is a cute little place just off of Mill Ave.

Posing.....before we left she told me....."mommy, look at me. I'm ready for my close-up." Where does she come up with this stuff???????

"Horton Hatches an Egg" (read by a girl who made sure everyone remained silent)

close-up as requested

the tables were decorated so cute. The china tea cup and the "real" wine glass made us a little nervous

Horton peanut butter and jelly-phant sandwich. The menu was Dr.Seuss themed and super cute!

After we finished eating, the kids each got to pick out a book. They also got a bookmark and coloring pages.

The tea house also had a cute gift shop where we bought this cute little bunny whom Ella named "lisa"........I heard all proceeds go to charity (good reason to shop). Paul thought this was a real bunny when we got home. Silly Paul

Logan had a great day with daddy watching James Bond movies and sports......oh, and he even got to nap in daddy's arms.......cute

Working.....time to catch up!

I had to work on Saturday and Monday (recovery day yesterday) so it is finally time to catch up on my blog. Luckily, I had Sunday off so we headed to daddy's soccer game to cheer him on! Logan and Ella had to wear their soccer gear and had a great time just being outside. Daddy is very proud of his kids on the sideline!
Sunday afternoon, we headed to the neighbor's house for some yummy yummy dinner. Kyle had made homemade guacamole which was the best we had ever tasted and then we had indian fry bread with yummy mexican fixings for dinner and with powdered sugar and honey for dessert. YUM! We came home VERY full!

St. Patrick's Day was FANTASTIC! We finally decided to give in and hire a housecleaner. Why did we wait this long? It was the best decision..........loving a clean house. Ella spent the day at grammie's house so Logan and I spent the day together. We did lots of relaxing and I caught up on tivo.

I LOVE this weather and "Go Ella Go"

Once again I must say that this weather is FANTABULOUS!!!!! There is nothing better than 70 degree sunshiny days. Paul was off today so we headed to the park as a family. Ella was eager to show her daddy what a brave girl she is these days going down the "big" slides.

On our way, we walked past this blooming cactus. Beautiful!

On top of the "big" playground with daddy. There were some other parents/kids there and our silly girl introduced herself to one of the moms and said "Hi, I'm Ella and this is Paul".......Paul quickly chimed in, "I'm her daddy" so that they wouldn't think he was just some random guy with a little girl at the park.

Slide races!

Mommy and her kiddos

Paul later headed out to a spring training game with Pat and Jack so Auntie Suz came over after work to play with us and she brought Jack's old basketball hoop with. He has graduated to a real one and Ella had a blast playing with this. She made each of us cheer for her with each shot she took "GO ELLA GO" could be heard echoing out of our backyard this evening.

She shoots!

She scores......The ball is going through the hoop in this shot.....kind of a strange look to it. Sprout is ready to grab the rebound, just in case.
