Daddy's Helper

Elli is helping Daddy move the mulch. It is so nice to have such wonderful help around!

Even though it arrived late, Elli was thrilled with her birthday present...a new trampoline. This is just the right size for three year olds! We are hoping she gets tons of use out of it. We just had to invite our neighborhood buddies over to check it out. It is definitely more fun with friends!

After Elli fell out, we learned the importance of closing the door =)

The peanut gang!

The Mess

I am not sure how to handle the mess that Jackson makes. He moves from one place to the next just destroying anything he can get his hands on and emptying contents everywhere. I pick it up just to have him destroy it again. Is it even worth cleaning it up?

This is just a snippet of the messes he makes in a short amount of time...

Tupperware organized??! I don't think so!

Who me?!?!

Yep - it was me!

Spring Cleaning

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Work has been crazy busy and we've been spring cleaning. I L.O.V.E. purging and getting rid of things in the house. We have a relatively small house so there is no room for extra junk around that we do not use. But the most exciting thing I have cleaned out so far...PUMP AND BOTTLES. It feels good to be done.with.that.

Ok, I have to finish. Only one room left!

Going to the Chapel...

So when Elli started singing this at the dinner table I was a bit confused. Why is she "going to the chapel?" Who taught her about getting married already?!?! But then I heard the rest of the lyrics and I loved it. She must sing this on Wednesdays on her way into chapel at preschool.

Happy Birthday Sweet Princess

We celebrated Elli's birthday in a big way this weekend thanks to family and the help of a special fairy godmother friend. My sweet friend Leslie made so many of the decorations you see here. Isn't it FABULOUS!?!? I loved the personal touch it gave Elli's party. Just a plug because she is so wonderful - she sells her amazing customizable decor here at her Etsy shop. You cannot beat her prices!!

Elli had a blast and we really enjoyed having everyone together. She has really figured this birthday thing out. She marched in the TV room and told everyone to come eat cake b/c she knew there would be no presents until we cut the cake. Oh boy! What do we have coming in the next few years?

Happy birthday sweet Elli belle. You are and always will be, my little princess. I love you with all of my heart.

The special princess chair - made by Leslie!

See the adorable banner and hand made Cinderella plaque?
You can't get this stuff at Target folks!

We got Elli a princess castle for her room. Not sure how long it will last between her being rough in it and my OCD need to have everything put away and tidy!
