Shower caps and shots
Ella wore a shower cap for the first time and she thought it was the coolest thing! She has SO much hair.
The band aids on her arms are from the shots she received at Kindergarten registration. I cannot believe my tiny little Ella will be going to school this fall. She couldn't be more excited, she talks about Kindergarten all the time. She is really smart and did well at the testing. She will definitely be on the younger end, and she is small, so I just hope she doesn't get overwhelmed. I explained to her that she was going to have to get shots, and she said, "I don't care Mom!" She was literally singing down the school halls, "I'm ready for my shots, I'm ready for my shots!" All of the other moms were amazed at her attitude, but I'm telling you this girl really wants to go to kindergarten! If its going to take a couple of shots to get her there, she can handle that. I've debated about holding her back, but at this point I don't think she'd let me!

6 months and cereal
Evie is 6 months old and I am just now getting around to feeding her rice cereal. You would think I was feeding her steak and potatoes by the look of her thighs, they are seriously enormous! She has been eating this for the last couple of days and seems to really like it (I'm not surprised...I was pretty sure she would enjoy food) although it is quite the process. She is still figuring out how to work that tongue of hers so it is a mess but by the middle to end of her feeding she gets the hang of it.
It was quite the family affair...I was feeding Evie, Matt and Kash were video taping, and Ella was taking the pictures. You can tell by the angle of these pics that someone little is taking them!

Triple Time
Matt was giving Ella and Kash a bath and I thought we should stick Evie in too. It would save time and they would have fun. Well her tub kept floating around and she kept sliding down and they were all a little squished so no, it didn't really save any time. But yes, they did have fun!
You can't really tell from this picture because by the time I had everything covered up they didn't want to smile anymore!

Line it up
Lately Ella and Kash like to get everything out of the garage and line it up on the driveway. Ella is the one who is very particular, and wants everything a certain way. Kash mostly just does the heavy lifting for her. I can't help but smile when I see everything perfectly lined up like this. It sure does entertain them, so I am all for it. I thought I might as well benefit even more from this arrangement by putting Evie in one of the strollers. She was perfectly happy sitting there watching her brother and sister play.

Karlee's Bridal Shower
My cute sister Karlee is getting married in April and we are so excited! I was able to surprise her and show up at her bridal shower in California. It was a quick trip; my Grandma and Aunt Robin and I left at 5 am Saturday morning and drove home Sunday morning. I am so glad we went, it was short but so so fun to be there for Kar. Whitney's mother in law Lisa hosted it at her beautiful home and it turned out really nice. We had a delicious brunch and enjoyed chatting with everyone.
Karlee was so excited for her kitchen aid mixer. She loves to bake more than anyone I know.
She got a very special present from our grandma. She passed down our great grandmother's china! Yes, we were all jealous.
She was HILARIOUS opening lingerie (what did she think her sisters would get her?!). She was SO embarrassed and wouldn't show a thing. It didn't help that all of us girls were cheering from across the room. Bless her heart.
Mandy sat by Karlee as she opened her gifts and wrote everything down. She was across the room from the rest of us so we kept making fun of her and taking her picture. This is her signature "thumbs up" pose.
Sweet Liddy! I made sure to get my fair share of holding this little thing. You really have to soak up that newborn stage, I already miss it.

CuPcAkEs
Some of our neighbor girls were over playing so we decided to make cupcakes and decorate them for St. Patrick's Day. They had lots of fun!

5 months
Evie at about 5 months...I just snapped these while Matt was holding her. And yes, she really is this chubby.
P.S. I was trying to find something green for her to wear for St. Patrick's Day and Ella picked something out that was a size 12 months. I told her no, that was too big. She insisted we try it out so we did and.....yep it fit perfectly.

AGAIN!
Once again we have another Costco purchase by Matt. This giant ball which the kids adore. They have so much fun playing in there and rolling around. Matt likes to get them in there one at a time and roll them around FAST. I don't know how they haven't gotten hurt or thrown up. We have neighbor kids that come over just to play in this thing!
A Dad Thing
I always have a picture like this with Matt and the babies. I also have pictures of my dad holding his babies and my babies. Must be a Dad thing? I love it.
