THE quiet book

The pages are finished and now I just need to decide which order to sew them together! Making this quiet book has been such a great experience. I am so lucky to have so many talented women who have made amazing pages and I in return gave them mediocre pages...thanks ladies!

**a group of women in the MBASA got together and made quiet book pages. We each picked one design and made multiples then swapped. It was so much fun, in fact I think I am going to enjoy this book more than Elle will!

say cheese

Elle blows out her candles

pajamas and pancakes - elle turns 2

This morning we had some of Elle's friends over to celebrate her 2nd birthday. We did a pajamas and pancakes birthday party and let the kids load up pancakes with whatever toppings they wanted. Of course Elle had a great time and always does when her friends are around.

she is such a busy girl that she would frequent the table to take a bite of her cupcake and pancakes

Elle is lucky to have such helpful friends

Elly gave Elle some 'My Little Ponies'...she was fixing Mathew's hair with the brush

We set the camera on a tri-pod and started taking pictures, as you can see we were having a great time and Elle was LOVING it.

Park City:

We went to Park City a few weeks ago during the Sundance Film Festival. We had a great time and enjoyed playing in the snow. Mathew let Elle 'taste' the snow...

she loved it

watching people ski down the mountain

Mathew is telling Elle we have to be careful with the icicles, because they are sharp and while showing her where she needs to be careful he cut himself open.

if you have been to park city and don't have your picture with this bear, go back.

(Elle was having a conversation with him)

Babysitting Co-op: I LOVE babysitting Co-op. It was our turn last Friday and we let the kids go wild on the couch. They all play really well together and have a great time with each other.

Elle likes to play in boxes, she is 'pretending to be asleep'

while i was fixing Elle's hair she was playing with my make-up and found the mascara...at least she knows where it goes.

Mathew and Elle play with his wedding ring....he spins it, she watches it, then smashes it down.

she looks so innocent here...she probably just smashed the ring down
