Birthday Pictures

 I feel like a horrible mom. There are some moms who have professional pictures taken of their children at several stages of life; newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 1 year, 18 months,  2 years, etc. You get the point. I am not one of those moms, though I wish I was. The thing is, professional/studio photos cost soooo much and now having more then one child, its like impossible.

So for Ellie we had newborn, 3 months and 6 months done and I think the last ones were done at 2 yrs and 5 months. (not including the ones we had done last summer with the cousins from both sides of the family) That is 3 sessions more then we had done for Garrett :( He only had like 3 month photos taken (aside again from the cousins ones)

I had wanted to get theirs done a couple of weeks ago for Ellie's 3rd b-day and Garrett being 1.5 yrs old.. It didnt happen because the Walmart we went to didnt have a photo studio... I decided to try and take some of my own tonight.. A) I hate my crappy point and shoot camera. Its so old! B) Ellie doesnt follow directions from me at all! C) Garrett doesnt hold still for 2 seconds! Nonetheless**, these are the ones I got..

Alright, I am having one heck of a time with my internet connection. Anytime I try to upload photos either to Blogspot or even to photobucket, my connection drops. Making it nearly impossible to upload pictures.  I've only got 1 pictures to upload, so that will have to do for now. Ill post more later when and if I get them to upload.

 
Little Miss Ellie holding a #3 that I cut out with the Cricut Cutter (George and Basic Shapes, for those who  are interested) This was also by far the best picture that I was able to get.

 So before my connection drops again, Im going to publish this post. Hopefully later Ill be able to get more pictures added!

Have a great week!





**Nonetheless- What kind of word is that?? It is 3 words crammed together and made into one. I was sure my spell check was going to pop up with suggestions for it, but I guess it really is a word. Weird..

The Big 3!


Ellie's 3rd birthday was on the 2nd. I simply cannot believe she is 3 years old now. I joke and say 3 going on 13. She has the attitude on a 13 year old and it scares me. We decided not to have a big party for her. Im horrible at throwing parties and right now she really doesnt have friends. So instead we took to Prescott ,went out to eat and took her to the movies. That was her second movie theater experience and she did great. She was so excited to go and kept saying "Going to watch mobie on the big T.D. and eat oncorn." lol Love how they come up with their own words at this age.  We went and watched Cars 2. We got good seat and she did really well. She would move from sitting in the theater seat, to standing, to sitting on the floor and repeat. She even ended up in my lap at one point and almost asleep. 

We also went out and saw Aunt Chelsea, Uncle Clint, Austin and Cameron and the kids got to play for a while. We left Garrett with them while we took Ellie to the movies. Ellie got great "Birthday prizes" from them. She got a little make up compact thing. It had lip gloss and eye shadows in it. She was so excited about it. Needless to say its all gone now though.Oh and she also kept calling it her "hair cut" instead of make up. No clue! They also got her a play-doh set that makes cakes. We have played with it one time and she loves it. Play-doh drys out to fast. 

That night we stayed at Logan's parents house. The next morning Ellie got spoiled by Nana Shelly & Papa Terry. She got lots of cute clothes, a new Chore Chart, Dora Mermaid, Barbie Mermaid, a Ballerina Barbie, Disney Princess wallie stickers, and a Crayola magic markers thing. She loves everything. She keeps begging me to A) Put the Princess stickers on the wall, but I tell her we have to paint first. B) Play with the markers, but she got in trouble for peeing on the floor, so I took them away. C) Play with the play-doh, but I tell her it needs to rest, because its getting dried out to fast. lol

So we start this new adventure into a Three Year Old's life and Im pretty sure Im doomed and in for it big time!! Hahaha!! 

I love you Elisabeth Quinn-Maxine! You will always be my baby girl.
