February 21, 2011

Everyone should have February 21, 2011 marked on their calendars because that was the day my little Ella decided to start going pee pee in the potty. 7, yes 7 times she went pee pee in the potty on Monday. Tuesday she went also numerous times and no accidents until after Dance Class which is fine with me.

Ella, Mommy & Daddy are so proud of you!!

What a big girl - next the poo poo!!

So this morning in the car Ella says..."mommy I'm a diva and Mason & Daddy are my buddies." Out of no wear. Always makes me laugh. Yes honey that is for sure (Here is the proof)!

Christmas 2010

Christmas Eve - Ella & I making cookies for Santa. Have to say that Santa's cookie was extra special. It was very sparkly with all the red sprinkles it had on it. Probably crunched when Santa took a bite.

Christmas Eve - Ella & Mark going to put out the reindeer food.

Santa made an early trip to check on the Grivna kiddos.

Mason just being cute

I know, I know

So I know it has been a while since I have blogged so here are some pictures to update you. Tomorrow I promise I will upload pics from Christmas.

3 months Mason

Ella playing in the laundry basket - I used to do this at Grandma Jean's

Making snow angels with my niece Olivia

All the kids sledding with Papaw - one of my favorite pics because Olivia will not go sledding anymore (but definitely took part in the hot chocolate - don't blame her)
but she gave them a push.

Ella & Me

Me, Papaw & the kiddos

Me & Princess Ella. She wanted to put a dress on after she saw mine.

Mark & Jess before Mark's company Christmas Party.

Mason 2 months

This morning was Mason's 2 month check-up and he is growing like a weed (was there ever any doubt). Ella was a great big sister at the doctor's office and held his hand while he got his shots. She ate breakfast and read every book in the room.

Mason's 2 month stats:
Weight - 12 lb 4 oz
Height - 23 7/8" in

Go back next month for Ella's 3 year and Mason's 4 month check-ups.

I always try to get a family photo with all of our cardinal gear on. This was about 2-3 hours before my head was in the toliet (or bucket) for about 5 hours.

My sweet kiddos

So Elaine was telling me this morning that yesterday afternoon when she was getting all the kids to lay down for nap Mason starting fusing in the swing. The swing is located very close to the bed where Ella lays down for nap. She was in her bed and could hear her brother and looked up at Elaine and said "here Elaine, he needs my blankie, that will make him happy." How sweet is my little girl!!!

Baby Announcement

We know one of Mason's pics it looks like he only has four toes on one of his feet. Proud to announce he has all 10 fingers and all 10 toes.
