The Wonder Pets

Eden's new favorite show, The Wonder Pets, sparked another Edenism this week:

Eden: The Wonder Pets are pets. They are called Wonder Pets because you wonder what they are, then you say, Oh! they are pets.

Eden's Words

Eden has always been pretty good verbally, but she still has a few words that give her problems (I think they are so cute) so I wanted to list them here, since I am sure she'll grow out of them soon!

Good Merring Amornica (Good Morning America)
Gra-Nora-Ball (granola bar)
War Mart (WalMart)
Yo-Gret (yogurt)
Lemon (melon)
Bref-kist (breakfast)

A Glimpse of What's to Come?

It seems that Elly has "one of those faces." Everyone seems to think she looks like someone else. The latest comment was from Grandpa Lee, who said he thinks she looks like the Olsen twins. I see a little resemblance, but I am not going to tell Dan to retire just yet.

Edenisms Part 5

Eden, in the van, writing letters on her MagnaDoodle: "Hey! I wrote 'on' and 'off'!" I looked back, and sure enough, she had written the words "On" and "Off." I said, "You did! Where did you learn that?" [expecting her to say Grammy, or Brynnie, since we hadn't taught her to write those words yet] Eden says, "Oh, just from some switches."


Grammy is pushing Eden on a Merry Go Round type thing in their yard. Eden says. "Wait til I'm prepared Grammy!" Grammy pushes her again, and Eden says, "Just a minute Grammy! Put a little slow in that fast!"


Just now, Eden is writing at her table and Elly comes up and starts to "write" too.
Eden exclaims: Mom! This is incredible! Elly just wrote a 'C'!
Mom: Wow, that's great, she must have learned it from you Eden.
Eden: Elly, I am SO proud of you!
Mom: Isn't it fun being a big sister?
Eden to Elly: Just doin' my job little Missy. I am so happy, I could shake my bum bum all day long!

Farm Fun

Princesses for the Day

Easter Weekend

Hannah Banana looking SO cute...daughter of Dan's sister Trish, and her hubby Chris, who spent the weekend with us.

Eden FINALLY got to wear her Easter dress! She's had a hard time leaving it out of the princess rotation.

Elly's sweet grin.

The girls one morning--still in their jammies.

The three girls!

Little Eden

This is the oldest one of Eden I could find on this computer. I will have to transfer older files to this hard drive to find the real newborn pictures. I think Eden is less than a year here, but I am not sure. She looks so much different than Elly, in my opinion. Though there are some days where things Elly does gives me a flashback. Eden is just so grown up now!

Where Did My Baby Go?

This was taken just a few hours after Elly was born. My precious little one. And now she has entered full-fledged toddlerhood, complete with tantrums and throwing food, independent streaks, snuggles and kisses, and saying things like, "I love you Honey Momma!" She is a sweet girl, but the baby lover in me sometimes wishes she were still a little bundle like this. I have to remind myself that growing up is good, it's the GOAL, and that these precious ones are just on loan to me anyway.
