7-eleven

because ellis had just been born... we were not able to leave the hospital on 7-11 [july 11th 2011] to get our free slurpee from 7-eleven

but we finally made it on august 6th... no special meaning for that date... but it took us long enough...

jones was a happy boy!!

this guy is serious about his slurpee...

makes me smile...

and funny thing about the glasses... i bought those for him over a year ago... he thought they were alright but didnt much care for them... until recently... he "needs" them all the time... sometimes when it is dark.... or while he is trying to watch a movie in the car... sometimes in tears because he cant find them...

he is funny!

p.s.

again... crazy how similar... look here...

but remember these pictures...

they sure do look a lot alike to me...

crazy!!!

guess who..

turned one month old today...

and she finally fits in this... my most favorite first thing i bought for her... outfit...

you know when you love something it is hard to choose only one... that is how this is for me... hope you enjoy all the pictures... i loved them all... it was hard to narrow it down to only these...

once again shauna did her magic and made my day!

....

.... staring at the polka dots ....

.... loving loves from brother ....

....

.... smiles ....

....

.... serious ....

....

.... yawn ....

....

.... love her ....

and first time meeting aunt karen... who loved to hold her the whole time...

until she was hungry...

[smile]

the boys had fun too...

but it was a cold day at the beach...

proof she cries...

happy with a full tummy and back to sleep...

i wasnt sure how her first time to the beach would be...

3 weeks old... she was perfectly content...

underwear...

i have to document this big moment in life... jones is potty trained!!

he has known for a year now that he could use this slip-n-slide when he became potty trained... that day finally came!

brent has been so good with him and spending that extra attention and time with jones in order for this to happen!  we are both so proud... even if one of his favorite places to pee is the corner of the backyard grass!!! 

[our fault... but whatever made him excited to pee... not in a diaper... was worth it to us]

july 19th 2011

thank you!!!

"cheers"

thank you mom for all that you did while we welcomed ellis to our family!!!
