The kidlets

Recently it was warm out and sunny and we decided to go for a walk around the block! Since I do not yet have a double stroller and Joel needed some good exercise we strolled and Ella rolled. That is until we made it 3/4 of the way around Joel was reaching his arms up asking to be up. So we made a single stroller into a double stroller! I think Joel was quite comfy too!

Since it was so beautiful out and everyone was is a good mood, why not take the opportunity to snap a few photos of my two adorable children.

I just could not resist getting some of these too, my little 7 week old!

And Joel smiling for the camera "cheese!" Notice the nice blue line on his chin, that is a bruise from one of his many falls, my wobbly little(big) toddler! :-)

Fun at the Cabin

It has always been a tradition to spend Thanksgiving weekend up at the cabin. We didn't think we were going to go this year, but then on the spur of the moment we decided to go up for friday night. It was a short trip, but relaxing too...as it always is!

My parents just got a puppy, Briggs who is a newfoundland and was born Oct 11th, just four days after Ella. He is a cutie and is going to be HUGE!

Why not wash the windows while we are there!

Getting washed by Pop-Pop in the sink!

Joel is DRIVING?!

Joel driving Pop-Pop's VW bug....who let him do that?? They drove up and down the street and you could hear the horn going off randomly because Joel was pushing it!! Pop-Pop actually let him steer the car too...while it was driving....I wouldn't want to be in the car with a 1 1/2 year old driving...lol But it makes cute pictures!

Todd's Birthday!!

Todd's 32nd birthday was on Nov 18th! Joel and I made him a yellow cake with whipped cream frosting.!! I have never made whipped cream frosting before and was a little worried about how it would turn out, but it was delicious! We had steak and mashed potatoes for dinner and Todd was able to relax and enjoy his evening! Here is Joel helping with the cake.
