Who wants smore?

What to get a 2 yr old?

So what do you get a 2 yr old, who has a lot since she isn't the first. Well when you are sleep deprived - you decide on a trampoline!

I don't know but I think they're enjoying it! What do you think?

Ells Birthday Bash

Each year we invite both sides of our family to help us celebrate our little ones' birthday. Of course, Ells's party got pushed back due to the move, a baby, etc and we got to host it in our new home (my parents).  We kept it pretty simple. We had an ice cream sundae party with all the fixins, plus cupcakes, made by my super talented mother-in-law! I even cheated and reused the decorations from Shaye's baby shower a couple months ago. It worked. I did work a little magic on the Silhouette machine with favor tags and a sign for Ells Ice Cream Parlor. Have I ever mentioned how much I love that thing!

And for those of you who do know. We celebrated 7 years of marriage on Sunday too. Nothing like ringing in another year by scheduling and celebrating your 2 year olds birthday on the day instead right. I guess it goes to show you where the priorities lye. In fact, we kinda forgot about it totally till D's mom reminded us. I'm sure we will get a date night in the near future.

The Birthday Girl

It got really busy - we just keep adding little kiddos

aunt kels and blakes

true ells fashion - love that expression - plus 3 generations

the cousin helpers

so i blow them out right dad?

and she did all by herself

Cousin Shaye

So we love that cousin shaye lives so close now! We actually were spoiled enough to spend a good portion of the week with her!

These two are exactly 3 months apart! We laugh at how much these two don't look alike - well thats because they both look like their daddys.

Sage = 1 Month

Sage is 1 month today. I thought I would have his stickers made but my silhouette is buried in a box somewhere and Ells birthday stuff is one my top priority so maybe next month right.

Just a few little tidbits on this little guy...

He rolls over every single time you put him on his stomach. At first I thought it was just a fluke but he continues to do it. I tried to get a video but he just didn't want to perform.
He is super super strong. From birth this little guy has lifted his head up all by himself.
He loves to snuggle up and dig his feet into my stomach too.

He is a good sleeper (except last night), a great nurser, and pretty easy to please

Chatting with Sis

A love for the Ipad

Best invention ever...

We moved

Its official. We moved. Yes. We are now living permanently for the time being with my parents.  In fact, both my sister and my brother are living with their in-laws right now too. Kinda funny really.

We packed up the house a couple weeks ago and with 3 little ones when things are packed there sure isn't much to do. So we decided to get some stuff moved into storage and to our new place and if you know my hubs, well once you get started you just keep right on trucking till the job is done. So we are moved.

Still need to wrap up a few things at the old house like cleaning, mowing - as the new people don't take possession till May 1st.

Even though we are on to new adventures I still tear up when I leave each house. I mean our first little itty bitty house (yes. little. 1 bedroom 1 bath - need I say more) had tons of memories. We spent our first wedding night there, had an intruder (my bro in law can give you those details), got locked out, did our first major overhaul remodel and the list could go on and on. Now this house was quite a step up from our $50k first little guy. We had a huge master bath, extra bedrooms. It holds a ton of memories too. I mean I brought up three babies to that house. So needless to say - D laughs as I tell him I cried leaving.

Of course, there are a ton of reasons but the main one is all the great people that we just won't see each day. We have the best of friends and it just won't be the same.

Okay. On with the pictures right. Well, lets just say our kiddos were worn out. Shadd fell asleep in the middle of all the commotion playing the ipad in the living room. We did end up moving him and Ells didn't last a whole lot longer. So my 3 sleep in the middle of the living room as everyone carried things by. Plus if you have a few kids you will have a ton of crap! A ton!
