Leni at the Dentist...

I had a dentist appointment and decided to bring Elena in for an introduction to good oral hygiene. She even wanted to bring her alligator for his first check up. All went well! Actually, the funniest part of the visit was when the hygienist asked her if she brushed her teeth everyday and she replied that she had a baby in her tummy and it talked. LOL!

Leni hits up a local Easter Egg Hunt..

Welcome Ellie!

Jason's sister Laura had her new baby girl, Elliana Marie, on April 6 - all is healthy, all are happy - She is beautiful!

Leni was so excited to see/hold the new baby. She was so cute... as soon as she got the baby in her arms she started softly whispering " sh sh sh sh sh sh." There is no doubt she is going to be the best big sister...

Elena's First Tigers Game

It was a beautiful day to head to the ballpark....70 and sunny. Today was Kids Day/Opening weekend down at "Tiger Stadium" We had a ton of fun! Elena got herself a new tigers sweatshirt and had her first ballpark frank hotdog...she went high in the sky on the baseball Ferris wheel, she road a Tiger on the carousal, we got Disney tattoos and ate ice cream out of a tigers helmet. Elena even experience her first Tigers Home Run - it landed in our section which was cool, but a bit too much for Elena to handle - The roar/excitement of the crowd brought her to tears but she quickly recovered - THERE IS NO CRYING IN BASEBALL!

Go Tigers Go!

M-I-C...K-E-Y.....M-O-U-S-E!

Elena and Mama went to see Mickey at Azteca Mexican Restaurante this past week. It was a blast. I wasn't sure how she would be since it was her first time seeing a character in costume. She was very excited at home, even colored a picture for him but once we got there she was so starstruck she couldn't even speak! by the end of our meal she was much more comfortable and even gave him a high five and a hug before we left!

In this picture, Elena was about to put her arm around mickey, but decided to just touch him instead. It was Mexi-magical!

Uncle Robbie / Obbie Visits

Teddy Bear Tea Party

Sue took us to Teddy Bear Tea Party where Elena made hats, decorated cookies, got her arm painted, participated in a parade and did some singing and dancing....

Elena, already starting to be a rebel, brought her bunny to the bear party.... this is the hat she made for her "knuffle bunny / sally"

Decorating Cookies.... "I know I can put more sugar on here..."

Elena and Sue

It's a jungle out there...

AT THE ZOO - We thought the these prairie dogs were just so darn cute....

But this little one is the cutest.... : )

Big Girl Bed!

We transitioned Elena into a big girl bed recently. What girl would want to back to the crib after having a "Big Girl Bed Party"! I know what you are thinking, are we coo-coo? Well... maybe, but we got the idea from a friend and it has worked like a charm so far. After her first nap in the big girl bed, we had a cake waiting for her and candles to even blow out. We even sang "Happy Big Girl Bed" to the tune of Happy Birthday. She had a blast and is loving her new bed!!








Yes... you read it correctly, the cake says "Big Girl Bed"






























Oh yeah, we wore hats too!

Mini - Picassos

A while back Max was over for a visit and a painting party! No one was too much of a mess or ate too much paint - so it was a success!

Oscar Night

Snow Day

(luckily you can't see what sweater she's wearing under her jacket... : )

Collecting Snow Balls...big and small

The snow season is almost over and I can not believe i never got so motivated as to buy Elena another winter hat. Every time I put it on I just think to myself....I'm a fan of so many OTHER sports teams....why is my daughter publicly displaying her love for this university in which no one we know has any affiliation and is so passionately disliked in our MI "region." What i'm saying is - obviously the goal is to keep her warm - but I think she she can be warm, while wearing a color that better suites her.... like Green! : )

Some weekend fun

WEEEEE

WEEEE

WEEEEE

DOH RE ME

PRET TYYYYY

OMG... just noticed Elena is wearing the same outfit as the last few posts... either we need to blog more or get Leni more sweaters... (She must just look so cute in these colors which motivates us to share) We're off to play in 10 inches of snow!! ... Keep you "POSTed" : )
