Ella

The nurturer, the mother, the responsible one. She mimics the good, she mimics the not so good. This child knows right from wrong, has a strong compass and will go far in life leading others where ever she chooses to go.

Maya

Maya recited the alphabet perfectly with zero help. She then counted to ten. :D

Maya

Maya has developed a new thing that seems to be sticking around.

She is the most petite little dynamo at 25 lbs 1 oz and 33 inches long. Whenever she is sitting no matter where she is, she has her legs straight and crosses her ankles. Too stinking cute.

She also dialogues along with familiar movies. Scott was watching 'The Princess and the Frog" with the girls today and Maya was repeating the lines along with the characters verbatim. :)

She talks quite clearly and has her own thoughts and ideas.

2010 pinup girls

On Saturday the 26th at 6:00 pm we had a BBQ/fireworks party for Maya's 2nd birthday.

It was HOT HOT HOT!! A sticky humid mess. But the kids stayed cool in the slip and slide and had lots of fun.

Ella's 1st T-Ball game

First time at bat. EVER!!

Mommies little outfielder. GO ELLA!!

The game was played Thursday the 24th at 6:00 pm. It was a hot, sticky evening but Ella did great. She was focused and did a great job paying attention to her coach and following directions. We were VERY proud of Ella. :D

3 and 2 year old photos

gettin' ready for the mural

The girls kept busy as I prepped the wall for our new mural. Looks like they had LOADS of fun.

Also a photo of our first batch of strawberries from our garden and some ducks came to visit one day and they got a treat of bread crumbs.
