BSM - We Are Family

Its official. My parents have moved in. The construction on the addition is just about done, there's maybe 2 weeks left to finish up a few things.

Ella is ecstatic. The thought of my parents being here makes Ella so happy. Since it was a beautiful and warm weekend, we spent alot of time together.....doors open between the houses and everything. The only thing we need to work on now is that Ella thinks my Mom is going to save her every time I discipline her. I am having a hard enough time trying to get Ella to drop her attitude and sass towards me. Thankfully, my Mom understands the games Ella is trying to play. My 4 year old has alot to learn....

---------------------------------
Its the beginning of a new era around here and I am so thankful.

BSM - The Warm and Fuzzies

I find this picture peaceful. There's innocence to it...the flower gently tucked so she can feel beautiful. Each wispy strand of hair looks so delicate along with the highlights. I swear I can even smell the lilacs as I look at the shot. It gives me the warm and fuzzies. It makes me feel good and that's why it is my best shot for the week.

Gettin' Down and Dirty

Mudpies, apple soup, dragon potion, planting rocks or freshly picked dandelions.....whatever it may be, my child LOVES to play in this dirt filled yard we have right now. Since construction started, 3/4 of our yard has been torn up and Ella loves dirt! Who'da thought?! Keith basically had to teach her how to climb a dirt hill and she was totally freaked out to run down the hill by herself. But after she did it for the first time.....dirt has been her best friend. Its like a little dirt loving animal has been released!

On Memorial Day morning Keith brought Ella fishing. He bought these worms to go fishing with but forgot to grab them when they left, so he took them out later on in the afternoon while we were playing outside. Keith was teaching her how they would be good for our yard and they watched as they dug themselves into the ground. Ella hates all things bugs but she did really good handeling these worms.

I seriously dont think I have ever seen Ella's face this dirty before. But I could just stare at it forever. She created that dirty little face while she was having fun. Every rub on the nose or itch on her face was taken care of with a smeared dirty mud caked hand....while having fun. Her face is like a one of a kind masterpiece. What could be sweeter than that?

Random Shots

We have a busy weekend ahead of us. Ella is on her first sleepover at her cousin Jack's house. I am sure she is having tons of fun. She is going to stay over through the afternoon on Saturday so that we can start painting at our house. Thank you Aunty Crystal! :0)

The addition on our house is coming along. But by this point, I am so ready for it to be over. We are sleeping in the living room and it tastes like I am eating dust all the time now. Thankfully, it has been really beautiful outside so we can escape and get some fresh air. I think we have about 3 more weeks until it will be ready for my parents to move in.

It was time to clean out the random shots I have sitting in my folder. Man oh man am I am loving my 90mm this season.....
