We are excited!

Want to know WHY??

VACATION!

Soon we will be headed to Jamaica!  The kids are so excited that they want to wear their swim suits at all times.  And that's fine with me because there is not much cuter than Ella in a bikini and Ben in goggles!

LOVE

"Love does not make the world go round

Love is what makes the ride worthwhile"

My obsession

I am obsessed with how cute she is when she has her hair in a ponytail

And the headband which she calls her crown!

Happy Saturday??

We are under a Level 2 Snow Emergency

My family was supposed to come down from Canton to celebrate Ben's birthday but they are no longer coming due to the snow :(

Ben woke me up at 6:45am because he wet the bed.

Our dog Chase shit on my new rug. Then Ben stepped in it.  Pissed at Chase

Ella woke up w/ horrible diarrhea. I seriously almost vomited changing her diaper.

I made Ella breakfast. Our dog Godiva ate it.  Pissed at Godiva

I made Ella breakfast again. Chase ate it.  Now REALLY pissed at Chase

I got Ben all dressed up to play in the snow with daddy.

I made myself breakfast.

While Matt was in the garage getting ready to plow, Ben got stuck in a massive snowdrift and was sobbing.  I ran outside in my pajamas to rescue him.

While I was outside Godiva ate my breakfast.  Now REALLY pissed at Godiva.

Ben then hit himself in the mouth with the shovel while he was helping daddy remove the snow.  He came inside crying saying he never wanted to play in the snow ever again.

My house looks like a disaster.

I went to the doctor yesterday and had to get on the scale and this is the heaviest I have been in a long time :(

My doctor started me on steroids to help with my cough and tight chest.  Prednisone makes me really crabby.  Can you tell??

HAPPY SATURDAY!!

Can't wait to see what the rest of the day holds!

(at least Ella is happy dressing up in her snow gear)

Today he is 4

4!!!    Four?!?!?!

A 4-year old is no longer a toddler.  No longer my baby.  He is now a kid.  A big boy.

Here's a look back:

2-2-06 (day of birth):

2-2-07 (1st birthday):

2-2-08 (2nd birthday, and start of the terrible two's)

2-2-09 (3rd birthday, and start of the even more terrible three's):

And now, here we are.... about the enter the FABULOUS 4's!

We love you so much J. Bennett, B-star, Ben Bear, BB, Bubba.  We can't wait to see all the amazing things that this year holds for you!

Love, Mommy, Daddy and EllaJuneBug

Is there a doctor in the house?

I am sure at this point everyone knows that we have not had a very healthy January.  Luckily these 2 have been to the doctor so many times that they know how to give a complete check-up.

They are now accepting appointments.  All insurances accepted.

PS - in case you couldn't tell, I am hope from work sick today.  hence, the reason for all the posts!

Bedtime books

I guess she was getting bored of reading "Good Night Moon" and "Brown Bear, Brown Bear".  I think we should find her some new reading material.
