Monsters vs. Aliens


We went to see this movie on Saturday night. It was very last minute and we wanted to take the kids with us. So we got movie times and went. It was hilarious. We loved it! We have taken Patrick to see 1 other movie before, I think it was Walle and he was terrible. He wanted to wander all over the place and screamed bloody murder when we tried to get him to sit down. This time, he sat on Jesús's lap the entire time! Didnt move once! It was the best experience ever. Elena watched it then got tired so I fed her and she slept throught the rest. I recommend it to everyone. Your kids will love it!!

Come and Get it!

I am getting rid of baby stuff! It will be a continual process as Elena grows out of stuff. If know one wants it, Im taking it to Goodwill.

I have this Baby tub that is in good shape. Patrick just keeps using it for a car or a surfboard. The foam has a cut in it but its not peeling off anything. I also have this crib bumper, light green and clean.
Let me know if you want it, I will keep them for 1 more week then they are gone.

A lot of Elena

Since Patrick doesnt like us to take pictures of him anymore, Im going to take tons of pictures of Elena.

Here's her St. Patty's day outfit. Patrick wore this as a baby,minus the bow. I made the bow for Elena. More like ripped it off a rubber band and glued it to a clip.


I love towel babies, they are my favorite photo ops and I dont think I had taken any of her yet.Peekaboo!!We took these very sweet pictures when we were all sick and waiting to recover and she was the only smiling person in the house.

This is Patricks Knock Knock joke



Elena saying Da Da

New stuff

Ann and Amanda Pitts made these wonderful cupcakes for our visiting teaching conference. Arent they cute??!!!! They fit our Ant theme perfectly.


We bought Elena a new car seat off of Woot.com. A wonderful website of great things for sale. This is a $250.00 carseat and we got it for 99.00. We couldnt pass it up.
Patrick had to try it out and show his new door hanger.
Jesus made the box that the carseat came in into a rocket ship for Patrick. He loves it.

Fast, Easy, Healthy, Delicious

I have had these a couple times but this was my first time making them. They were very easy and fast to make and I couldnt stop eating theme. These are spring rolls and we love them. They are very healthy. You should try them.
Ingredients:
Shredded Carrots
Julienne sliced cucumbers
Rice Noodles (boiled)
Imitation Crab Meat/chopped to desired size (I like it small)
Chopped Cilantro
Spring Roll Wraps

Directions:
Soak the spring rolls wraps in warm water in a large frying pan so it can easily be warmed on the stove. Dont soak too long, just long enough that it softens. Put on a plate and put crab, carrots, cucumbers, cilantro, soft rice noodles. Wrap tightly. Dip in spring roll sauce which is sweet and spicy. Enjoy!!

A first

Elena slept through the nigh for the first time in her crib last night. She has only slept through the night twice before in her bassinet. She also cut her second tooth last Saturday the 7th.
