My Beautiful Babies!

John's Mom and I went to Muncie and got Ellie's 4 year and Brody's 2.5 year pics done today. They are wonderful. We didn't get many good ones of them together but we got a ton of great ones individually! Enjoy!

 

Weekend

Ellie and I went to Target Friday. She loves the pretzels at the snack bar! 

I put her favorite Taylor Swift songs on her iPod. She was in heaven using John's headphones listening to them. 

He LOVES Cheerios! 

Brody wearing a hat John had when he was little. It's a wrestler hat, go figure! 

We had a very busy weekend! It was very fun though. Ellie loved Disney on Ice! We had a blast! I can't wait to go next year and take Brody too! It was a very cool show!

Brody in Sunday School with his Papa 

Passed out in his Papa's chair....  (you can't tell hes a Papa's boy can you?)

Playing with Chanse, Nana and Papa's dog. He was Hollands Dad. 

It doesn't seem like it has been a month since my last update. We enjoyed Christmas Break very much. Brody got a strand of the flu his shot did not cover. :( He was sick about a week and is still getting over the drainage along with a cough! Ellie has stayed clear of the illness and been healthy! We have started up our busy schedule again. Ellie and I are going to Disney on Ice this weekend with her friend Emma and her Mom Amanda. We are both looking forward to it! I hope to get some pictures and post them sometime next week. 

Brody at the doctor. His poor right eye kept mating shut. 

All ready for dance. She got her costume fitted and ordered for her recital this spring. Her recital outfit is lime green this year. It will look so cute on her! 

We've got doctor kits covered at our house! 

Merry Christmas!

We are getting ready to celebrate Christmas. The kids are very excited for Christmas! I am taking all next week off to spend with the kids. John has Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off of work. I will post some pictures from all of our festivities one day next week. 

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 

Here is a photo of Ellie and Brody that we had done at our Church. Lifetouch came in and did our new directory pictures. I wasn't to happy with our directory picture however I loved the picture they got of the kids. We ended up ordering one. They are both smiling and look ADORABLE! 

Here is Ellie after her Preschool Christmas Program. She did wonderful singing and she looked so beautiful! Her "GG" gave her $5 so she bought herself and Brody an ice-cream at Dale's after we had dinner. 

New Pics

He's such a little stinker.

We got our picture with Santa at The Warm Glow open house with Nana. 

Thanksgiving Weekend

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, we sure did! We had brunch with John's parents then went to My Dad's for dinner and then my Mom's for snacks. Then that evening Ellie, my sister Hali and I went shopping. Ellie really wanted to go (I think because Aunt Hali was going with me)! We only went to Wal-Mart and Target so we weren't out to late just till about 11. Still way past Ellie's bedtime. She did great though. She kept saying, "Whats the problem here!?" in Target. 

Ellie and Brody on Thanksgiving morning

Brody, Papa, Nana and Ellie 

We went to the new Hibachi grill in Muncie with our friends Friday night. It was very good. Brody was terrified of the fire the chef's made to start the meals. 

Of course Ellie and Emma loved it. They both played on Ellie's iPod and enjoyed the show!
