Corn Monster!





These really weren't staged! Ella was OBSESSED with the corn on the cob, at my mom's house... She had 2 of them & wouldn't not put them down for antyhing... Where ever she went her corn went to! I finally got it away from her after she dropped it for the second time... Yummy lawn corn, just what she needs :)













On Saturday afternoon we went to my company party at the Triple D ranch.... We all had so much fun, there was a ton of stuff to do... Hay rides, face painting, bouncy things, a petting zoo, & the Lange girl favorites, Ponies! Holly & her family were there too.. Berkley & Rylee had lost of fun together.. They decided to paint their faces, but were a little unsure once they started.. Just a few cute pictures from that day...

Ella talking...


The lighting in the video is really dark, but you get the idea... Just some cute kid moments I wanted to share... They aren't dark on my camera, not sure why they look like that? Oh well... :)



Ella just starting saying her own name this week! It's pretty cute!



Ella's favorite word, NO! You should try catching her to get her dressed!

1st day of preschool...



Rylee started her first day of preschool on Tuesday... :) She was so excited (asited) to go! She has been talking about her "pack, pack" and schoo, for weeks now.. She has been dying to play with friends & eat a snack... She walked right in, & didn't even care that I was leaving... I have been feeling a little guilty though... I guess I was supposed to be emotional?:) It was just so nice to spend that time with Ella & have the break, that it wasn't a tearful event.. I am sure when she starts kindergarten, that will be much harder... :) She will officially be a big girl... She was having so much fun, she didn't want to leave... She keeps asking me when she can go back! So I guess that's a good sign :) She will be so excited to find out she gets to go to school again in the morning... :) We'll have to see if the excitement fades? Hopefully she continues to love it! Tuesdays & Thursday mornings will never be the same around here... Life just got a little quieter! :)

When Daddy's watch kids :)


This is one of those funny stories that happen when no one is looking, I mean watching :) I first have to say that Chris is a great dad , this is just one for the memory books! We went up to the cabin Labor day weekend, I left early Saturday morning to go to Swiss Days... Chris & the girls were a sleep when I left.... Chris woke up to Rylee telling him the dog had made a mess & pooped every where? He ran down stairs to see what was going on... Apparently, Rylee had gotten out of the room while Chris was sleeping... She found a full bottle of white out & decided to "paint" the cabin.... The kitchen chairs, the hair chair, window seat, the keys on the calculator, & Vaseline jar were all victims of the white out spree! She didn't stop there, she remodeled the deck as well.... The decorations outside were also "redesigned." She painted some new pearly white eyes, on Nana's bear! Needless to say it took Chris hours to get the white out off everything..
( ps. ...nail polish remover works great on white out)
When I got back I finally got Chris to give in & tell me what happened, while I was gone... I was laughing hysterically imagining his face when he discovered all this, but then it hit me... .She went outside the cabin while everyone was sleeping!!! I can only imagine would could have happened.... My next thought was she could have wandered off the deck & down by the river! I am so glad that Rylee isn't much of an explorer!! Now Ella, would have gone on that adventure!!
