Naynan!

My sister Katherine had her baby girl on April Fool's day. I went to her house to watch her boys while she was at the hospital and Norman kept asking me if it was a joke that mommy was at the hospital having her baby! It was cute. Megan Ann was 8 lbs. 5 oz. and 19 inches long. She is adorable. Now Elliott's new obsession is babies! She yells, "Naynan! Naynan seeping!" because Megan was sleeping almost the whole day while we were with her. I can't wait to have another one so she can be an amazing big sister.

A Day at the Zoooooo

My sister Amber took me and Elliott to the L.A. Zoo today.
It was awesome!
Here's Elliott getting her first lesson on the birds and the bees...you naughty little meerkats.

Here's our lunch break at the park

Nixon, Elliott, and Braedyn croc hunting. (Australian accent) They caught one! Crikey!

At this point in the day I know exactly how this guy feels

Cake Connaisseur

I help my mom decorate a lot of cakes for weddings or other celebrations. I have to admit, it's not my favorite thing to do because it can be pretty messy and painful. Yes, it hurts squeezing tubes of icing for a long time. Luckily my mom does what I think are the hard parts: baking and icing. But it's something I get to do with my mom. Gives us some quality time and we make a good team! Here are a few samples:

Barbie was for my sister-in-law's baby shower. I know right? Who has a Barbie cake at a baby shower?!...Candice!

This one was for my baby shower for Elliott.


These cakes were for a wedding. It was very Asian-themed.

Thanks for the talent, Mom!

Love is in the Air!

Elliott with her BFF Tucker. I'm actually struggling to type this because I'm wrestling Elliott off of the keyboard so she doesn't tackle the screen to get to these pics of Tucker.

Finally, the real Christmas!

We love Christmas Eve at Katherine's, especially eating the frosting for the gingerbread men!

Me and my sisters put together these silhouettes of all the grandkids for my mom's present. It turned out so cute!

Brent and JC brought their dog over on Christmas, Elliott was entertained all morning chasing Ponchito around. (The video wouldn't upload, but its soooo cute!)

Temple Lights

We went with my mom to see the lights at the L.A. temple. There's a nativity scene there with some animals in it and when Elliott saw it she started yelling, "Sheep! Sheep!" But her version of the word sheep sounds more like she's cussing. So there was alot of people there witnessing my child cussing at baby Jesus.

We ran into Fawn, Jeff, and Sydney!

I swear I don't give drugs to my child.

A Chick Fil-A Christmas

I'm not gonna lie, I was afraid of that Christmas cow too.

Little model Braedyn, Amber has trained her well.

Nixon and Elliott

Christmas with Grandpa Erroll

The whole family, where's my matching pajamas?!

Stephen makes the best faces!

Elliott doing her favorite thing, sucking her thumb and playing with her hair.

The girls monkeying around.

Houdini

One day I put Elliott in the shower and went to finish loading the dishwasher. I went back to check on her and she was gone! I checked all the back rooms of the house, called her name several times couldn't find her. After a few seconds of panic I saw the trail she had left from her escape and found her doing her favorite thing...watching T.V. with her accomplices hippo and turtle in hand.

Mommy's Little Helper

Elliott loves to help with chores around the house. She always helps Grandma Debbie with dishes. And if she's taught me anything it's that you can always look your best while cleaning...notice the fancy shoes. She is a mini-Wonderwoman!!!
