Great Weather Again!

We were outside enjoying the nice weather when we heard the Ice Cream Truck. Yes, Emily remembers the ice cream truck from last summer. She received some money Easter, so she ran inside to get it. She picked out a Dora popsicle for a whopping 2 dollars! I made her wear a bib because she was wearing a new outfit. :)

"Reading" outside
Ella was inside watching us with smiles!

3 Months Old
















Ella is 3 months old and is getting cuter every second! Here are some things she is doing at 3 months old:
* Holds her head up really good
* She is beginning to like tummy time more
* Starting to grasp objects and loves to kick/hit her toys in her play gym
* We're starting to wear some of her 3-6 month clothes. Most of the 0-3 month outfits are too tight, except some dresses
* Still in size 1 diapers
* Loves to be center of attention and will smile/coo
* She loves to go into the standing position while we are holding her.
* She loves her big sister

Easter Sunday

Ella's Easter basket. :)





Emily got some fun stuff from the Easter bunny. She loved going to church with Cita and Poppy.






Ella's 1st Easter dress! She looked so pretty. Too bad the weather was so rainy on Easter.







Easter Egg Hunt- Sat.

The fabulous cake Roy's sister made!
We went over to Cita's house to say hi!


Ella enjoying the beautiful weather!



















She was in a great mood this weekend!

















Dyeing eggs the night before! Emily loved doing this and decorating the eggs.




We headed down to Fort Smith on Saturday to spend the day at Roy's parents. It was a beautiful day, so it was a wonderful day to hunt eggs outside. We got to spend time with cousin Ava and Roy's cousin's 2 sons.

12 Weeks Old








I can't believe my baby girl is 12 weeks old and we are nearing the 3 month mark on Monday! It's SO hard to believe. It makes me a little sad, but she is learning so many new things. She loves for you to talk to her and she'll just coo and smile. I love that! She is beginning to love her "lovey" blankets to help soothe her. She started taking the pacifier SOME since yesterday, which gives us at least a short nap in her baby bed. If she would only stay in there all night!!! She's starting to outgrow her 0-3 month clothes, so I had to take some pictures of her in them. I think we'll have to move up to size 2 diapers very soon.


Easter Egg Hunt












Emily was so excited that a chick hatched at school! Thank goodness she didn't want to take it home. I think Teddy and Toby would gobble that poor little chick up. ;) I went to Emily's Easter party at school today before I went to work. I'm so glad I did because everyone was so cute! The Easter Egg Hunt was hilarious and all the fun lasted about 3 minutes. haha I hope the weather is nice for a real Easter Egg Hunt this weekend at Nana and Grandpa's house (and of course Cita and Poppy's).

Palm Sunday

They looked so cute in their matching dresses on Palm Sunday!

Cute spring outfit!!
I have not been good about taking pictures lately. We had some more cold (and windy) days, so we've been stuck inside. It was gorgeous today, so I hope spring is here to stay. We went to church with Cita and Poppy on Palm Sunday, then out to eat Emily's favorite (taco and chips/cheese dip).
