Surviving

Gavin has been out of town since Wednesday and won't be back until Sunday. I'm tired. Ellie is not sleeping well because she has a cough and she's not so good at rolling from tummy to back yet so she cries a lot at night because she gets stuck on her tummy. Hopefully she will work out her sleeping problems so I can finally get some sleep. Here are a few new pictures.


Ellie's new sleeping position. Face down with head next to bumper pad. Kind of scary looking. I try to move her head but she puts it right back down. So yes it worries me and I check on her every five minutes.

I took the kids to the Aquarium today. It was a nice day and they had a lot of fun.

Cute Abby.

Doesn't get any better then this

Doesn't get any better then a Monday morning with two very happy girls. Thanks Abby and Ellie for starting my Monday off right.

Graduation

Abby had preschool graduation today. It was pretty cute.

In progress

I'm making a diaper cake for a friend of mine that is having a baby. I finally got all the diapers rolled and put together. Now I just need to decorate it. Just thought I would share. I will post another picture of it when I am all done.

Finally

Ellie got her four month shots on Monday. She was not a happy camper. Abby and I were trying really hard to get her to smile. No luck.
So today is the day Ellie decided she wanted to start rolling over from back to stomach. The problem is she hates being on her stomach. Every time I would lay her down she would roll right to her stomach and then get really mad and cry. I thought she would never go to sleep. But finally she fell asleep.

I'm waiting

Last week I bought 76 squares of Amy Butler fabric. I am so excited for it to come in the mail. My mom and I are going to make a quilt out of them this summer while I'm in Utah. I'm so excited.

Gifts

Gavin got the assignment to come up with the gift for the Mother's in our ward for Mother's Day. So since he got the assignment it was past down to me. So this is what I came up with. Little boxes filled with chocolates. I think they turned out pretty cute. It did take awhile to make 55 of them though. I hope the mother's in our ward will enjoy them on Sunday.

Extra, Extra, Read All About My Mom

Yesterday Braden's class put on a Mother's Day performance. They sang us songs and read us poems. It was really nice. Afterwards he handed me a paper that had some questions on it that he had answered all by himself about me. I had to share.

Nothing exciting

Nothing exciting to post today. It was nice outside and we did go to the park but that's about it. So just enjoy a picture of Ellie that was taken today.

A few new

It was raining outside so we had a day of painting inside.

As most of you know Abby sucks two of her fingers when she is tired. She always has and probably always will. Well look at this. Ellie does it too. She has found two fingers that she loves to suck on. Silly girls.
