Ella Adventures

So I was getting ready for work the other day, runnin behind like usual. I started me a nice warm shower. Ran to the laundry room to get a towel. Ran back to bathroom and this is what I found. She must have been waiting for me to leave the room. She hopped right in fully dressed, Backed into the water and was enjoying a nice warm shower. Little stinker, I couldn't even get mad at her because she was so relaxed and seriously look at that face. She is an adventure!!

Daddy painted her fingernails and I put a little ring on cute little hands. I couldn't get a picture to work though.

Last of all this weekend while we were in st. george in our hotel room. Ella fell in love with her self. She would run over to the mirror smile give her self a big kiss and run away. This entertained her for a long time. The maid was probably not entertain when she got to clean the mirror and a 100+ kiss marks. I cant blame her I want to kiss that little Ella bella's face everytime I look at it, too.

I Love vegetables! WHaT!!!

Last Night we went to the Gingerbread Festival. Oh my goodness some people are creative!

This is Brady standing next to the BEST OF SHOW. It was huge and tons of details. Nick said now that he knows that he will have to step up his game now that he knows the competition..
The James family TA DA. Oh look yeah thats me I am actually in a picture for once.
The James gingerbread tree house. Nick created this I was the assistant. We used pretzel rods to do the tree trunk and branches. The dog house is made out of candy legos. It was a lot of fun. We donated it to the Boy scouts of America. So it was fun to do it for charity. I would really suggest it for anyone next year a fun family project for a good cause. It is up at Thanksgiving point, this weekend lots of activity and fun for family or couples or anyone....f
Ella Bella loves veggies not kidding. She will take veggies over anything any day. Last night I noticed her organizing the veggies, see the pile of green beans and broccili. She is a funny girl.

Different night same shirt I noticed, still just lovin the veggies. It may be a silly thing to post about, I think its great!!

Catchin up!!

Here is the few pics I got on Halloween, I forget the camera alot and when I dont forget my hands are to full. We had a blast and we are so excited for the holidays!

A current picture of Nick. He was complaining that I dont have any current pictures of him. We had a great time on his birthday. He blew out all the candles and was not even phased by the trick ones I put in there.

Happy Birthday to Nick!!!

So I know his b-day is not till tomorrow. But the rest of my day is busy and So will my day be tomorrow. Its really sad a few people pointed out that there is not many pics of Nick on my blog, so I wanted to do a post just about Nick.(pics included) I am so lucky to have Nick as a husband and the father to my children. He is such a great guy he is fun and adventurous, caring and way thoughtful. He comes up with the best gifts and i am not very creative when it comes to gift giving. He is such a hard worker and takes so much pride in the things he does. I can always count on him and he will drop whatever he is doing for someone in need. He is also a good looker and I love his dimples. People always say did you know your husband looks like Matt Damon? Here's to you babe!!

Pumpkins, pumpkins where did you come from!

So last night I had to work I left at 530 and worked till 930. I made dinner before I left and left the fam to hang out. I called Nick at 830 to see how he was doing, He said he was good and that they were just hangin out nothing much. So I come home and on the counter there is all these pumpkins decorated cute. I think where did they come from. Well than I take some cute pics and go to download them and the mystery is unraveled. I have such a great husband. He took the kids to pumpkin land, picked out pumpkins. Then the kids said they went to like 3 different stores looking for the paint he wanted. They decorated and painted them. Sooooo cute, he is such a good dad and I am so grateful for him. He loves spending time with his kids and I love that his mom loved creating memories, he gets that from her and I love it... anyways I cant give you many details, because I was at work...

babies!!

Brady likes to sit on my lap and look at the blogs of all our friends with me. He looks up at me and say "mommy how do people get babies in their stomaches" I say, "Why heavenly father sends them to us". OK. Oh I love these days when answers were so easily answered. Oh not for my big kids. I get two full hours of maturation with them next week. AHHHH. Oh the birds and the bees. Wish me luck...
