Ella Rose

Beautiful Ella Rose was born on November,7th she weighed 7.7 lbs and was 19 inches long.






She has been such a sweet baby. She doesn't cry too often, and when she does she is very consolable. She quiets down pretty quick. My first two babies were not like that at all so this is a new experience for me. :) Arya just wants to hold her all the time and absolutely loves her baby sister and Landon even likes to occationally hold her and tries to shove her pacifier in her mouth (not too gently). I just have to kindof keep a close eye on him because even though his intentions are good, he is a little boy and doesn't quite know how to be easy with a baby. We are just in love with our sweet new addition. She is officially our last baby so we are enjoying every minute.

Halloween!!

Arya wanted to be Rosetta from the Tinkerbell movie for Halloween and thanks to Grandma Betsy we all ready had the beautiful Rosetta dress. Landon is a scarecrow, and he was not very thrilled about it.. he was so upset about all the straw sticking out of his clothes and he pulled most of it out in the first 5 seconds..but he was all about trick-or-treating! He even said his thank you's
I wanted to get a pumpkin for each of us, but Jonathan said one was enough. After taking 2 hours to clean and carve this one out, and after the mess that it made, I have to say Jonathan was right... I am sooooo happy we only had this one. Arya was not overly interested in it, but Landon wanted to help the whole time.


We made popcorn balls and stuck green candies on the top to make them look like pupkins. I sort of guessed on the recipe since I didn't have one and they turned out great! Arya was actually a big help and I didn't have to worry about her getting germs on them since she was washing her hands after every single time she touched one. Landon is another story however so we tried to keep him off the chair and away from them, but he made a great taste tester. :)
