Family Update

I haven't been the best at keeping our blog updated, so I just added a bunch of new pics and I wanted to let you all know what we are up to.

Time is flying by as usual. Ella is already 4 1/2 months old and MaKenna just turned 2. I can't believe that we have a two year old. Wow. But we are sure enjoying her. Yes she has her terribly two moments, but it really is a fun stage as she is albe to communicate with us more and she is learning and exceling at an amazing rate. It seems like every day I see her do something or say something new. She is doing pretty well at using the potty chair her "poo pot" (except when she needs to go number 2). She can sing the whole alphabet by herself and can count to ten in English and Spanish. I am amazed.

Ella is rolling over both ways from front to back and back to front on both sides! And her two bottom teeth just broke through. My girls are early teethers. She is cathcing on to eating rice cereal, getting better at swallowing and now watches us as we eat! She is a very happy baby and I am blessed she gets to go to work with me every day!

We just got back from a trip to Utah. We went out there for Richie's sister Sandy's high school graduation. We had a good time and especially MaKenna with all of her cousins. We had a fun time for MaKenna's 2nd birthday. She got a party at grandma and grandpa Hildebrandt's. It was like a field day. We set up fun activities for the kids to do out in the field. MaKenna got a bounce house so the kids had a lot of fun jumping. We also are finishing up remodeling our kitchen. It has been quite a project. We tore everything out down to the studs and rebuilt it, with Richie doing most of the work. We will post before and after pictures soon. It is the first of many projects to update our cute house! So this is how our busy lives have been. I will try better to keep updating more often.
