potty training

Well, potty training is going. Not overly well, but going. We have now had to bribe and beg the little one not to poop in her pants. Currently, what is working is the iPad every night at 9:00 so that she will go and we have also promised her a trip to Chuck-E-Cheese and to see the movie Paddington if she continues to try to go. Here's to hoping!

a new member of our wolfpack!

Our wolfpack is growing by two feet! Baby Kane will be here sometime in mid to late September and we are so terribly excited. I cannot wait to love on a little squishy again. I will never forget my excitement the day that Cam was born and how much love I felt instantly for her. Can't wait for that feeling again!

How we were told on a Pizza Friday. Love it!

christmas 2014

Christmas was amazing this year, as always. Ellie being two made it pretty magical and special. We got to do some things that we haven't done before with her (go look at Christmas lights, begin our Elf on the Shelf tradition, etc.) and that was extremely wonderful to me. We crammed a lot into a few weeks of the Christmas season, and with only one weekend of the flu bug getting us down (and a missed Polar Express opportunity :(), I would say it was an extremely successful time filled with family and friends! We are blessed!

Ellie and Erin at our School's Christmas Pajama Party/Literacy Night (and the start of our flu bug weekend)

Cammie did so amazing at her Christmas Show!

Love this little girl to pieces!

Rainbow had a bring a friend week and Cam brought E :)

Acting silly, of course :)

Look what mom found while she was Christmas shopping! Ellie will be ready for our Disney trip next year in December!

About to go to church, eat dinner with Mommy and Daddy, and then go look at Christmas lights!

Of course we had to stop by Graeter's that night, too.

The last day of school before break, me, Amie, Marci, Jess, and Erin went to Nashville to see Justin Timberlake in concert. We had an AWESOME time!!

Elle during our Christmas celebration with the Lawrence's.

Christmas morning, Bailey got to put on Ellie's new Anna gown!

Aunt Caitie and Uncle Soon got Ellie a vanity. How pretty!

The Lewis girls all together :)

Ellie had some awesome surprises from Santa!

She got a princess bike!!

Of course, Brohdi was exhausted from it all.

thanksgiving 2014

Thanksgiving is always my favorite holiday. It's the true beginning of the Christmas season. We actually had a snow day the Monday before Thanksgiving week, which is really crazy, but I put up my tree super early this year because of the extra time. I am so thankful I did because we got to have the beauty of it light our living room for an extra week! Love our Thanksgiving traditions!

Yay! All finished! Love my Cinderella tree :) It looks beautiful with my new house décor. This is our first year in our new house for Christmas. We moved in last January.

Ellie loved her time with her cousins at Pammie and Jim's house!

Ellie and Paige

Caitie came out with us for a little bit during our Black Friday extravaganza. It lasted from 10 PM to 10 AM!

Look at Nana's bags!

That is a successful night!!!

We had to cram Amie in the back of the Jeep.

Brohdi was exhausted, of course.

swim lessons

Ellie Ann started swim lessons in October. She was doing so well during the first two lessons and then something spooked her out. We are now in Mom and Tot classes each week, but she is loving the water more and more.
