Cute little stinker!!!

So I am finally getting around to doing my Ellie update. I dont know why it is so hard for me to update my own blog. I get so caught up reading everyone elses exciting lives! So here goes.....Ellie is getting so big! Everyone keeps commenting on how much she is growing up lately and I can so see it in the way her clothes are fitting! Not only is she looking older but suddenly she is like a 17 year in a five year olds body. You should hear some of the things she says to me lately! I swear I didnt get smarter than my mother until I was at least fifteen. If I say something she doesnt agree with me about she looks at me and says "Whatever Mother". The other day I did her hair and apparently she thought she was lookin pretty good cause I overheard her in the bathroom while staring in the mirror saying "oh my gosh I am sooo cute, soo cute" then she came out and gave me the talk to the hand sign and said...."you are so weird, mother."

Some days I swear I am going to pull my hair out! But then I watch her with Bailey and I melt! She is such a good big sister! I can see it in Baileys eyes that she already adores her big sister. Ellie loves to get her to sleep and somehow she can really do it....apparently Bailey likes to hear her sing Hannah Montana songs cause thats what we listen to all day long!





Its been so long since I have posted about her that I missed her 5th B-day. She of course had a Hannah Montana party and had a ton of little rock stars over. We played musical dots (like chairs, but with big polka dots), hot microphone, we made rock star glasses and lots of other fun things!


Ellie also finished up her last year of preschool, which means kindergarten is on its way. She graduated from Whiz Kidz and loved it! She also finished up her second year of dance and had the cutest recital ever. I love to watch her dance. She gets so nervous, but then just loves to be up on the stage! She asks all the time when her next "stage" is . She also insists that her Dad brings her flowers to all her recitals. I am not sure thats how it is suppose to work. o-well she Loves it!

Where do I even begin????

So I know its been a really long time since I have updated....I have been putting it off so long because I have so much to post, so now I dont know where to start.....I guess Luke would be a good place to begin.

Luke is such a obedient, good kid, sometimes I wonder where he came from. I think he came first so that I would even consider having any more!
He just finished his first season of machine pitch baseball. He had a ton of fun! I think the machine chucking balls at him was intimidating at first but by the end of the season he felt like a pro! Nate was the assistant coach so he ended up taking him to most of the games. The weather wasn't always that great, so a lot of the time I ended up staying at home with the baby..... Its a bit hard having such a age gap with my kids, I wish I could be in two places at once. I overheard him say one day that I didnt come to see very many of his games, so the next few games I parked next to the field and told him I would watch from the car so the baby wouldnt get rained on. Being the good sport he is, he was thrilled with that especially... if I gave him money after for the snack shack.

He has also lost three of the his four front teeth and the last one is so close to popping out (so close its grossing me out). We took him to the dentist for the first time a few weeks ago (yes I know he's six a bit late....I deserve the mom of the year award!) Once again Nate took him because I was home with the baby, so on the way to the dentist Nate promised him they were just going to clean his teeth and take some pictures. They wouldn't do any work at this apt, well once they got there the plan changed. The dentist decided one of his molars needed to come out. Nate explained to him the different methods numbing his mouth and pain relief. So he starts telling him that with the laughing gas they will put the mask on and him and he wont remember anything. Luke looked at him with a terrified look on his face and said "will I remember mom?" So sad....he really thought he wouldn't remember anything prior to having the gas.

He also just finished kindergarten and is so excited to start first grade. I'm not sure I am ready for him to be gone all day long. I cried my eyes out sending him to kindergarten for half a day so now doing the all day thing is going to really set me off. Its the beginning of the end! We have him in the greatest program at school, the Spanish immersion program. They teach half the day in Spanish, no English! It has been so fun to watch him learn. He doesn't speak much Spanish at home but when I go in for parent teacher meetings I am blown away! Its hilarious to hear the little accent he has. Here is a clip of their end of the year program.... (pause the music) Luke is the 5th one from the left in the brown shirt. The cute one!





Well now that its past midnight, I will have to continue tomorrow! I promise I am on a roll now! I will get the Ellie and Bailey updates asap. Especially for you Libby, since you think Bailey is a monkey!
