Fashion Island

My mom and I
Ellie always wants a part of Lucy's food!! Lucy has now learned that she can give Ellie her food and also tease her with it...its very cute.

Typically on Saturday mornings you can find us at Fashion Island with the pup and Lucy. We are really trying to socialize Ellie so that she doesn't end up being one of those dogs that won't play well with others :) Here are some pictures of us taking a lunch break....

Close up

Never a good picture of me...but its the dog I want you all to see. Ain't she cute?!?! She is almost 5 months now! My how time flies! She is a great dog and we love her. She just needs to stop peeing and pooping inside :) any tips on how we can help this?

Lucy's new beanie!

A couple weeks ago at a dinner party we went to our friend Danielle brought beanies she made for Lucy and Braden. Here Lucy is using her new beanie at Disneyland! Thanks Danielle, she loves it!!

New Floors!

In our guest bathroom ( where the sewage flood originated) Troy put new flooring in...and notice the nice baseboards?!? They are in our living room and kitchen as well.

Up close of the baseboards...and the NEW WOOD FLOORS! Thank you Troy they rock!

Troy dilligently making our lunches for the next day..here is more of the floors.

And yes, we know that half the wall is yellow. Our WHOLE house was yellow when we bought it. We have the paint, we just need help painting the rest of the stairwell area..any volunteers?

Disneyland

We are so lucky to be able to visit Disneyland so much! Last night we went to Disneyland with Grandpa Sherman ( although he split as soon as we got there to go collect pins.... but we aren't bitter) it was so pretty....decorated for Christmas...I only took a picture of the castle this time..but as we keep going I will take more pictures to post. I LOVE this picture of Lucy on the "L" outside CA Adventure....click on it and you can see a bigger version. :)

Lucy Lately.....

Yes she has bed head...and you can't tell...but she had just gotten done playing in DIRT. Yes, I was trying to take a picture to prove I let her play and EAT it. What was I thinking????

How quickly she changes her attitude these days......take a look at the picture below....

Trying to get a mommy daughter picture....Ellie always gets in the background somehow....

My attempt at another mommy daughter picture...its all I can get these days! And Lucy loves saying Hi and Good Bye by waving!

Our little girl is growing so fast! On Thanksgiving she will turn 11 months! Where has the time gone?

As of tonight she is officially saying these words:

Mama

Dada

Go

Uh oh

Arf ( the dog sound)

Tikawut tikawut tikawut= Tickle Tickle Tickle ( really quickly and all jumbled together its adorable)

Dudda= Bubba ( our cat)

And like I mentioned above..she waves hi and bye and LOVES to dance!!!!

The many phases of Ellie

She has taken over the only pillow we have on our couches.

She also loves to cuddle on blankets! This is in my legs...whenever I curl up on the couch she gets right next to me.

Troy's hairy leg...NOT mine.

See I told you! I caught them sawing logs!
Did I mention she snores louder than Troy?

Back of my car.....

Do you notice anything that these pictures have in common?? Our new puppy LOVES to sleep!!!

Anywhere we go she can cuddle up with something. Her new favorite place in the car is in Lucy's car seat on Lucy's lap! She won't be able to do that for long though!
