First night in condo: Swimming

Ok, so yes it was chilly, but the pools are heated. Kallie took the family picture for us. (it was too cold to take Ellia swimming though) We are hitting Magic Kingdom tomorrow.

The pictures aren't in order, but it is the best I can do one handed. This is Ellia on the plane. After playing with her she got tired and fell asleep. Here is Ellia's first pane. Airtran

My Valentine Surprise from the boys

So the other day Zack and Isaiah worked on making me a Valentine surprise. Zack won the monkey at school and then took some of the Valentine candy that he got from school to make me a candy bouquet. We had tootsie rolls for the soil, heart suckers for the flower stems, and them fun size candy bars for the flowers. It was the best Valentine present ever!!

Ellia Laughing

Ellia was so funny. she would laugh so hard at me shaking her little Minnie Mouse toy.

First Cereal

Ellia had a doctors appt. today. She weights 16.5 lbs. and is 25 1/4 inches long. We also went and bought some baby food and cereal so she can start eatting!! She liked the cereal pretty well.

Daisy Scouts painting

Here are my Daisy Scouts painting with the "go green" paint. I had to boil water with veggies and fruits for an hour and they thought that was pretty cool. They painted with carrots, spinach, raspberries, and blueberries.

New delivery

So on Saturday night we went shopping for a new couch. We ended up buying 2 (instead of the love seat and couch). With out family size we need more seats. Mike had won points to us a certian stores and this is where we ended up at! We haven't had a new couch since we got married and that was 12 years ago!! Our Anniversary is coming up in March so this is "Happy Anniversary to us".

Groundhog Day Dinner

Yes we even celebrate Groundhog Day! The picture is of the groundhog cupcakes that Katie makes every year. This video is funny of my sister Amie. I was laughing so hard because she was so impressed with the dryers in the bathrooms at the American Girl store in Chicago.
