I didn't even know she knew the words to this song. I sing it to her every night, but she usually just hugs and kisses me never saying a word. All of a sudden I caught her singing to her little buddies and I wanted to get the adorableness on camera. ;)

Happy Birthday Daddy!
We wish we could be there to celebrate your big 29th birthday. (How many birthdays in 11 years have we spent together in the same city? 4?) Just think, less than 365 days now til 30! hehe Hope you had a fantastic day with the movers packing up your household goods. One step closer to bringing you home to your girls (and by girls that means 4 of us..Me, E, Baby Girl, and Riley). Apparently God wants you to be King of the Castle for a little while longer, huh?
An oldie, but a goodie pic!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
We love you SO much and miss you terribly! 19 days.

Welcome Spring!
We welcomed the fabulous season of Spring with a snowstorm here in Oklahoma! It was 71 degrees on Friday and on Saturday morning it was 29 with a feels like temp of 16 degrees and winds up to 30mph. We ended up with at least 3 inches of really pretty snow. Ella was excited to play in it and I loved the photos I took of her. She was coerced inside after many promises of a warm bath and jelly beans. She loved the snow so much...our little snow bunny! I told Tom that maybe we have to plan a vacation to a ski resort next winter so she can enjoy it even more. She was quite the disappointed girl this morning when she looked out the window and said "where'd the snow go mama?"...accompanied with a big old pout. **Sorry for the picture overload!**
Throwing a giant snowball!
There are a few more photos found here.

March is here:)
I love March for many reasons. One being, St. Patrick's Day! Tons of birthdays in our families and another being SPRING ARRIVES. And this March is really important because it means LESS than a month now until Tom returns home to us. With Spring arriving, the weather has warmed up a bit and we are able to play outside finally. Ella has been enjoying trips to the playgrounds and sidewalk chalk and bubbles! Even Riley is able to lounge on the patio and soak up the sun. 
Brave girl...on the highest slide. Not even the slightest fear:)
My new favorite picture of her. So simple and sweet.

Out with February!
Ok so I'm a little late to post this. I don't have the excuse of being busy...just not in a blogging mood. We went bowling on Cadence's birthday where Ella proved to everyone she didn't need my help anymore. She picks up the 6 lb ball off the rack, walks it down the aisle and throws it down the alley. Not too shabby for a 2 yr old. Later that week was Cadence's real birthday party, but Ella wasn't in the mood to party. Could have been her lack of a nap that day, or the fact that she's pretty darn shy around people lately. Tom told me he was very shy in public as a child, but at home he was a wild man. Same with Ella! I don't see anything wrong with shyness. It's just hard for me to understand because I see this smiling, happy, outgoing, talkative little Miss at my house all day, but once in public eye she is a totally different person.
All of the kids made Dirt Cups to take home with them...chocolate pudding, peanut butter pudding and crushed cookies with gummy worms. Note: Ella's Juicy purse. Couldn't leave home without it. We are also growing out her bangs so every now and then her hair will become a little out of control. See below.

Happy Blogging Anniversary!
It's officially been a year since I started blogging. I started a blog because it was way easier to update than the babysite I was using. We are far away from all of our family and friends so I wanted a way to allow them to watch Ella grow and for everyone to get a kick out of me learning to survive on my own this year without Tom. I hope you have enjoyed keeping up with us:)
Happy Anniversary Me & E! It's been quite the year.

I love to paint!
We painted some pottery the other week for more indoor fun. I think we are becoming desperate. Thank goodness this week the weather was a tad bit warmer. Ella picked a "heart box"...well I picked it for her, but she seemed to like it. She concentrated very hard painting this special piece and I am a very lazy mama and still haven't picked it up. I promise tomorrow I will go do that. 
Isn't Johnny's little sister Taylor just beautiful?
Every fabulous artist paints with more than one brush
