I named my favorite cat in the whole wide world Gloria, and a stuffed dog of mine Wipenomis. Speaking of animals...below are pictures of the following: Us at the Animal Farm at Forest Park in Everett (I was more interested in the hose behind me than petting the goats), Alara and Keira check out the chickens, I try to free the rabbit, Keira looks great using the stuffed balls for something else besides throwing, we get pretty silly when Kyle visits, I look for a snack and Keira finds the good stuff, Jason and Debbie's sealing, mom and auntie Heather at the Portland Temple for the sealing, and Maddie's birthday party.

"Stop, stop!" - this is what Ella will cry if she doesn't want you to go anywhere or if you're doing something she doesn't like. She'll do it pretty sincerely and matter of fact."Umm.......yes!" is Ella's response after carefully considering many important questions these days, i.e. 'do you want juice?'I can't sit Keira into any bouncer/swing/car seat in the house without having to unbuckle all of the buckles these days. Ella really likes to buckle things up. She got upset on Sunday after she realized she didn't get to buckle herself in."Thank you mommy" and "bye-bye guys" are a regular part of Ella's vocab these days. She continues to enjoy figuring out how gadgets work, including mommy's keys. She found the alarm button on them this month and managed to scare herself to pieces, and Keira chimed in, startled, as well. We call a demo like this in our home these days "stereo" when both kiddies are crying:(
