Elles got to meet her Aunt KK- hooray for Aunt KK! (and Cami too- she loved him- but threw up on him the first time her held her-- just like Ellie to make the moment memorable!)
Emmy really is in love with "Cami" as she calls him.
"KK is my best friend" was a phrase very often heard on our Cali trip ;)
We had SUCH fun getting some much needed KK and Cami time ;)
Jason's Grandfather made this table- I immediately loved it before I even knew that.
Aunt Yo Yo and Uncle Sean- what a fun littlw treat to get to see them in Cali too!
The one of a kind design- I just thought it was so cool that Jason's Grandfather left something so creative behind~ I had to capture in on film ;)
love it.
Yes! While In Cali- we FINALLY got to see Uncle Cameron perform with his band The Reel (please look it up- I don't know how to do the cool link thing) they were performing to benefit an incredible cause called Courage House- again- please look up...
Emmy LOVED LOVED when Uncle Cami sang- she danced and sang the whole time and still asks if we can go see Cami sing again- she is his #1 fan.
Elle Belle like it too- I was worried that she would think it was a little loud or that the beat would irritate her- but I should have known- like pretty much everything else- she took it in stride.
first pony!
first piggies! (apparently these made Bells feel mildly confused instead of happy- but what can I say- she was 3 months old...)
I wish I had videoed this-- please imagine twinkle twinkle sung beautifully and directed expertly~
Don't they all just look so delighted! I loved it.
This is just a sample of the GREAT times had at the zoo- animals- how can you go wrong?
Emmy loved this peacock... until it suddenly terrified her for no reason that I noticed- then, she was outta there~ what's funny is that just a little while later- this guy turned into a crazy Kung Fu Panda 2 style attack peacock as he was trying to kill a fellow suitor to impress a hen- it was awesome.
Emmy thought she had died and gone to heaven- she shares my un natural love of ice ;) here she is picking up a slush ball that J and Grandpa Larry were throwing in her direction- she was delighted!
Yes folks- it HAILED while we were in CA- 
The weather was weird- but it was still amazing!
Emmy got to spend a lot of fun time with Gavin and Griffin (cousins on Diana/Larry's side)- they are the cutest and nicest 3 yr old twin boys on earth- and Emmy fell instantly in love~ with both of them... here she is making that abundantly clear ;)
They were such a good fit together- they sang songs, laughed and played- and then played some some more~
a new favorite picture.
she doesn't play favorites!
Another AMAZING thing to add to the California trip- BEST FRIEND COUSINS! Thanks boys for including Emmy.
at 4 months Elle Belle is a delight- she weighs in at 14 lbs- eats cereal and breastfeeds like a champ- smiles- laughs- rolls over- kicks- stands while held-pinwheels- grabs toys- LOVES her sister and family and really is PERFECT in every way- she is adorable and such a little sweetheart- what did we ever do without her?!
It started out like this...
HATED IT!!!
but quickly progressed to this~
IN LOVE- she now gets fussy and wants her cereal- hooray! at 4 months- she is an eating champ. How will she eat once we are in South Carolina? YES- we are going to be renting an apartment in SC- Augusta is kind of like Kansas City- where 1/2 the city is in 1 state and the other 1/2 is in another- the OB and Family Practice rotations that Jason will be doing are in GA- but our home will be in SC- I'm very excited- we are moving forward! In Sept- we will be moving across the country to Bakersfield, CA where Jason will be doing the rest of his rotations at Kearn- and hopefully some of his ellectives too- hooray!!! we are so proud him ;)
OK, so Liz has assigned me tonight's blog post because she caught me playing angry birds on my ipod for 2 minutes and can't handle the thought of me having any Jason time... So here it goes...
My favorite Peep!
This is why Cadbury should be outlawed in the states...
And here I am wishing Easter was celebrated in the evening. 
not only is she the cutest girl (along with her sister) in the world- but Ellie is now 4 months old- I'm month or more behind on my posting but I wanted this to be in my blog book someday-
Elle is a doll- honestly the best baby ever- so fun, sweet and easy. She is a delight to be around and the WHOLE family is in love with her!
we went to visit the Bunny- Emmy was delighted!
This is a fountain at the mall entrance- she declared it to be Easter Bunny water-
they were best friends.
she loved the Easter decor-
here she is describing it to me- really is a joy to be around ;)
We are BACK from our crazy FABULOUS vacation-- we played, loved and ate ourselves into an oblivion...and let's just say that Elle's isn't the only one to come home with thunder thighs... TMI I know-
priceless- mostly because of the random tu tu's everywhere- but also because I have a pic of everyone in the fam sleeping except for me- story of my life today- ;)
when in Utah... matchie matchie MATCHIE! we got to go to What Women Want-one of my most favorite things and they had these adorable headbands- being the ghetto queen that I am- I copied them and made these- love them...
Also- I have new hair that I am so happy about- I love how in this pic I'm like "look at my cute hair and amazing headband!" and Elle's has these sad little tearfilled eyes- bless our hearts- anyways there is too much to catch up on for tonight- but I've decided to start with Easter and go from there- so stay tuned for some cute Easter pics coming soon!
