last weekend

just some pics we took last weekend at a friend's baby shower. jenalyn was interested only in going outside to splash in the puddles. eli and I hung out indoors where it was nice and warm. oh and did you notice jenalyn's new do? Im really liking it - not too bowl looking as before...but boy did she put up a good fight for that cut! sorry no pics b/c we both had to hold her down while the lady did her magic, and where was eli you ask? watching in horror from his stroller.

we have a beaver...

and his name is ELI!

I have the rail protected for now (so dont worry mom), til I can find something else.

thank you Valentine Buddy!

jenalyn and eli received their valentine Buddy gift this week from our mommy group. as you can see jenalyn loved the doggies and eli knew exactly which one was his!

jenalyn and mommy time

this must have been one of the first weekends in a long time where we didnt have to do anything, and since the weather was so nice we took advantage and played at the "park" all day and of course a nice walk around the outdoor mall in the evening. eli and daddy actually went into church for saturday confessions, so jenalyn and I got to spend some mommy-daughter time together, playing on the school playground. it was so nice since jenalyn and I dont get to spend anytime together just the two of us. by far, her favorite thing to do was to go down the slide. she had so much fun. now if I could only get her to enjoy shopping with me...





p.s. eli just turned 10 months yesterday... happy two digits!!!

the next american idol...

today I decided to have karaoke day! my magic mic doesnt get much use now a days, but today seemed like a good day, plus coloring with markers was getting out of control since she was more interested in coloring her hands than paper.
ok so jenalyn was really just holding the mic while looking at the screen. I think she was just trying to find the right song to sing. she clapped and cheered when I took a shot at it - and in all the right places too, like at the beginning when I would sing the first couple of words and at the end when its over. (what a supportive daughter, even if it sounds horrible, she still claps!) and eli - well he's the show stopper...
waiting for the que

"ready for my close-up"

"come on, we can be like the donnie and marie!"

"I can work solo"

"Edelweiss, Edelweiss ..." - look he's sooo into it!!!

mega playdate at children's museum.

last sunday we took a trip to a children's museum and met up with some mommy friends for a mega playdate. the kiddies had so much fun! take a look...
jenalyn loved this cow!

she loved grocery shopping, she actually carried the fruit around the whole museum.
