Not Enough Ella

I've been so busy with work and visitors that I just realized I haven't given near enough updates on sweet little Ella. Not very many people know how LOVABLE she's gotten! I've been counting down the days to warmed weather so we can show off those rolls. Unfortunately this picture doesn't show of her thighs, which are my favorite part. They're edible!

And this is what Alex has been up to lately--the cause of my first meltdown in a long time. This picture was taken after I had already cleaned some off and faded most of it with Magic Eraser and alcohol, which ate up the paint and will require a new coat before we move out. The picture doesn't do justice to everything else he colored on with the inch-thick Sharpie--the computer, tile, garbage can, CDs, papers, printer, desk, and himself. Please refer to my post a few months back on how to handle multiples. This happened while I was showering.
Shopping at the Vegas outlets with Jeff and Tana.
This little face is what makes me forget those horrible things he does. Unfortunately he's a sucker for these rides, and unfortunately I'm a sucker and pay for them.
In our backyard sitting on my future garden. Hey, at least they're both looking in the same direction.

I miss you guys and those two freakin' adorable kids! They are both growing too dang fast! I can't stand that you live so far away!

P.S. Sorry about the marker. It is kind of funny though. At least he didn't write all over Ella too. Just another question....what was he suppose to be doing while you were in the shower?

Oh Ella does look so lovable! You are so lucky-and she is so lucky her mom produces sweetened condensed milk! ;)
When you told me about the marker, I didn't realize it was that bad! Picture is worth a thousand words! It's funny now, actually it was always funny to me because I'm not his mom and I dont have to paint it before we move. But hey, if we make it down to Sunny St George any time soon, we will be sure to bring a can of paint with us.

One of these days cj is going to find where I hide the markers. I just hope we both live through that day.
