Time is flying!

Wow!  Has it really been almost a month since I last posted?  Crazy!  Time is just going so fast.  We really haven't been doing much but at the same time I feel like I am always busy.  Ellie turned 3 months old yesterday, 3 MONTHS OLD!  Crazy!  She is a really, really good baby.  She has her days and her moments but don't we all?  She is getting so big and changing so much.  I was feeling like a bad mom the other day b/c I hardly ever take pictures of her.  I took a ton of Sam but have hardly any of her.  So I set out to have a photo shoot the other day.  By the time I gave her a bath and dressed her she was getting real sleepy. I managed to get a couple that I liked though.



I tried to get some with both of them but Ellie was pretty much done and Sam was just being a goof and was really not cooperating.  You'd never tell by this picture but it's true.


We've been having fun at the zoo and cherry hill.  We've only been to cherry hill once and it was freezing but I look to many more visits in the near future.  
The zoo has been awesome!  I love the zoo.  I am pretty sure I have already gotten my money's worth and I've only had it since around Mother's day.  More posts about the zoo to come.  

Sam is a real boss these days.  Some of his new phrases are ' I never, ever, ever, get to...' fill in the blank.  So if I won't give him a sippy he will say I never, ever, ever get a sippy cup.  Um, yeah right kid.  You just had two in the last two hours.  Or he woke up one morning and I was gone to the gym and he told Dan I never, ever, ever get to see mommy.  Um, yeah, just all day every day.  It's pretty funny b/c he only uses it on things that he usually gets a lot.  I really need to start writing down things he says because man are kids funny.
He has been talking a lot about mommy and daddy getting married in the temple and how we kissed outside.  He just goes on and on and on about it.  He likes to make sure we know that he's going to get married in the temple too.  Well, that would be nice.  :-)
Sam has a new buddy Owen.  He lives a couple houses up.  They play so well together it's ridiculous.  They used to have a dog that jumped up on Sam and it really freaked him out.  So he hasn't made the trek back up to their house.  They always play here which is okay most of the time.  Except when his mom brings him down b/c she just really needs to get this project done.  WHAT!!!  Well, I've got a huge list of things that I need to get done too you know?  He will stay here for 3 even 4 hours sometimes and they rarely get in fights, it's crazy.  It will be nice when Sam will go up there once in a while but whatever.  
Ellie still just sleeps, eats and poops a lot.  She does talk a lot too and is always moving those legs and arms of hers.  She has discovered how cool her hands are and is always playing with those now.  Sam still just loves her to bits and pieces.  He really is such a great big brother.  Just wanted to get a couple things down before another month or more passes.

I can't get over Ellie. She's changed so much, and she's a little beauty!

I love reading your blog, because you write how you talk (I've been told I do the same thing, but that's why we are the REAL DEAL, right? Right!). I feel like we've just chatted after I read your blog. You are just so wonderful. I can't believe Ellie is 3 months. She is such a cutie!

Em, your kids are the cutest! Seriously!!! It sounds like little Sam is quite the dude. :) I totally hear you about having the kids at our house all the time. I like knowing where my kids are and what they are doing, but sometimes I want a break, too!!
Enjoy those two! You are such a cute Mom!
