Some more pictures!

Well I said in my post the other day that I would post some more pics. I really loves these pictures because they show Ellie Jane's silly personality. She is a little ham! Wonder where she go that from? Enjoy! And Annie, I forgot to charge my camera, so I am had to use Chad's camera on Christmas Eve. I do not have the right hook ups to get them on my computer, but I will soon, I promise. Those are such cute pics, I cannot wait to get them either! Sorry!

Just a sweet, little face!

Ellie Jane loves to talk on the phone! Priceless pic!

She has learned to pose! All you have to do is say CHEEESSE! She says CHEESE! With you!

This is her new scrunchy nose face! She loves to do this now!

Its cause everyone laughs at her when she does it!

This was her face when she saw her big presents!





I love this picture! It totally shows her personality!

I would love your opinion?

So, as most of you know, I quit my full time job to go back to school. I was cleaning houses on Wed. to make extra money, so Monday was my only day home, then Tuesdays and Thursdays I work Mother's Day Out. Fridays I clean my moms best friends home. I am not longer going to be cleaning on Wed. so I will be home now on Mondays and Wed. I will still need to clean on Fridays for extra spending money. I guess I just do not see a reason to spend 480 dollars a month on a Nanny if I am going to be home on Mondays and Wed, and Ellie Jane can go to Mothers Day Out with me on Tuesdays and Thursdays for 8 dollars a day. On Fridays I can do a drop in fee of 25 dollars to her Nanny! I know I need to still have time to study, but Ellie Jane takes such a good, long morning nap, and is so easy now that she is getting so big. She just plays and can entertain herself for hours. So what do you think!? Take her out? I do have to say, I love, love, love, love being with her on a daily basis! It is so fun!
Hope everyone enjoys there day today, and stays extra warm!

The Holidays

We had a wonderful time this Holiday Season. Ellie Jane was so much fun to watch, as she opened her presents. She ripped the paper, and said OH, and OOH! We had fun with both sides of the family. Christmas Eve my family came over and we opened presents, and enjoyed time watching the kids play and visit with each other. Wyatt, Ellie Jane, and Landon were all too cute. We then went to my grandfathers where my dads side of the family gets together, and we eat spaghetti and anchovies. There were 19 great grandchildren there, all under the age of 5. It is also loud, fun, and a little on the wild side. But, Christmas Eve would not be the same without over 50 people at my Grandpa's. With the crazy weather it took Chad, Ellie Jane, and I over an hour to get there. Since, the weather was so crazy we chose to go straight to Chad's parents and stay the night, so we would already be there on Christmas morning. Chad sister and husband also came that night, and we had fun staying up, visiting, watching the boys put Ellie Jane's gifts together. We woke up and let Ellie Jane open all of her presents, and then fed her breakfast, and play. She was then ready for her morning nap, so we put her down, then enjoyed our big breakfast, and opened our gifts. We had a great time visiting with family. Sunday after Christmas, my moms side of the family came over to visit and exchange gifts. It is always so good to see my moms side, it brings back so many memories, and they remind me of her so much. Thursday morning of New Year's Eve we left for Sweeny to see Chad's Papa. It is a six hour drive, but with Ellie Jane dvd player in the car, the ride was super easy. To make the visit a little more excited, we all stayed together in a beach house about 25 miles from Sweeny. It was right on the beach, and it was beautiful. We bought fireworks, played dominoes, and relaxed. Fun, fun, fun!! We finally had our last Christmas yesterday with Chad's mom side of the family! We went out to Mimi's house in Ft. Worth, and then to dinner at Pappasitos. Ellie Jane got more presents, and we had another great day visiting with family. The holidays are now over, I get to be at home, and relax with my little girl all week, before going back to work next week. Love my time with her. Hope that everyone had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year. Here are a few pics from the Holidays. More to come!

This was Ellie Jane's favorite gift. She loves her baby dolls, and loves putting them in the stroller and pushing them around. Hopefully this will help her start walking without holding on!

This is her new chair. It is so cute, and she loves it. Her G-Ma got her the cute Christmas outfit too. She would not keep her socks or shoes on. She never does!

I have tons of cute pictures of Ellie Jane and her cousins. Will post them soon.
