Learning and working out






Elliott and I have been busy. She learned a new dance move and is walking more. I have hit the 165 hour mark on my Wii Fit!

Birthday, anniversary, accident and artwork

Okay, out of order again, but you can see first off that Elliott survived her accident and has just a small bump on the top of her head to show for it.Here's the birthday cake I made for her with Mason and Madison's help. Her new birthday outfit her mom got her; isn't she adorable? Tomorrow is Jason and Nicole's 4th anniversary! Congrats to them! The have the funnest daughter! I am excited to see how fun their son is going to be! Here's the accident! It made the loudest crash! I found Elliott laying still on the carpet in my bedroom with no blood, which seems very lucky when you see all the broken glass in my bathroom!And here's a cool picture Jonathan did for a friend last week. He's playing at a piano recital tomorrow night, so there will be another post soon!

Chapman girl cousins

Jessica was tending Dan's sister's girls last night. We didn't want to miss out on time with Sophie and Tessa, so they all came over to eat pizza with us and to play.

This morning we all went to the Jump and Bounce place we took Sydney to last week. These girls had lots of fun. Richard was the only adult who got a pass to bounce with them, so I think that he got the most exercise. Jess and I just took pictures and helped them climb in a few of the higher ones. He is such a fun and amazing grandpa. Here's a few of the videos I got of the action.

Random stuff

The quilt I made for Jason and Nicole's baby boy.

Dean in his Christmas shirt before the meltdown. The puzzle we started and finished on Christmas.


Steph and her best friends who came to the shower on Tuesday.


Jacob and Amanda opening gifts at the shower. Some awesome Ellis women at the shower. Some awesome Quincy women at the shower. Jacob holding my ear. He is such a sweet and cuddly little guy!! All of my out of state kids are home safely now, except the Chapmans who will stay until Monday! So the Christmas joy continues!

The best part about this song is James' reaction to the kids saying "Like the stock market" after history.
