Ellie made these forts all by herself. She gets it from her dad - the fort making machine.
^ More silly food faces brought to you by Ellie.
^ Ellie was really excited for Paige's birthday and she wanted me to help her make a countdown calendar for it. She enjoys crossing off the days and her excitement built each day.
^ I had to document us two at Paige's 3 year well check - wearing masks. This was her first time wearing a mask and she did so well with it. However, she is still pretty terrified to get her height and weight taken (clings to me and cries). Though she did much great with her other checks in the room with the nurse and doctor (but did not let the doctor look in her mouth).
^ We finally got Ellie a bike with training wheels and Paige has the strider bike now. Both girls love them and want to go out often. Paige (below) gets pumped and then gets easily distracted with flowers, bugs, grass, trees...the list goes on - needless to say, biking is short-lived!
^ "Mom, take a picture of me and my babies!" - Ellie
(She still dreams of having twins and brainstorms names for her future children).
^ Good night hugs.
^ This is one example of how thoughtful Ellie can be. Steven does not like onions or mushrooms and Ellie made sure the "soup she made him" was free of those two items. She even drew a crossed-out mushroom and onion picture on her own.
Steven and another guy friend (who also has two girls around our girls' ages) came up with the idea to do a daddy/daughter adventure once a month together. This was the first one and they went exploring on trails (and off trails) and they all loved it.
The next six photos are from our Summer Party!
Ellie had been asking when summer was going to be here and had been kind of counting down the days. She also asked if we could have a party to celebrate the first day of summer that included popsicles (their first of the year I think). I said of course! Steven suggested the idea to have a picnic in our backyard too and the girls were fans (he had to work)!
This year I've been trying to incorporate different things we can make traditions out of each year and this definitely was added to the list!
^ The girls are saying "POPSICLES!"
^ Ellie "made me a latte". Cheers!
The first water park of the year.
More exploring fun...
(Don't worry, she didn't go much farther!)
