April 19th...

Well sitting down today I figured I would write a bit, I'm not very good at getting everything out that is going on, so when I catch up it can go back for weeks.. Soo... April 13th was Ella's first birthday, I cannot believe it! She even looks bigger to me, which could be because in the same week she just took off walking, and now is walking almost everywhere. Jon calls her a little pinguin, cuz she still has the 'wobble' look. It's so adorable. We bought her a 'Curious George' cake that said "Ella, Happy Birthday Little Monkey" It was way cute. She is indeed my little monkey, always climbing and getting into everything. I don't remember Zoey ever being like this as a child but Ella sure is. I took some pics of her birthday and if I can figure out how to load them from our new camera to the computer then I will try to then figure out how to post them on here too (hehe). Life other than that is about the same, it is starting to warm up here and feeling more like spring-summer. Today it is nice and sunny but sooo windy. Jon is doing good in his softball league but lost their first of 5 games this past tuesday, it was again super windy that night and it took it's effect on the team, they lost only 13/14.
On another thought, today I cried... I was vacuuming the house and both girls were in the living room, after vacuuming in there I headed down the hall and into the office. When finished I went back in the living room to sit for a break(being pregnant makes me breathless easy). Anywho.. we have a little storage space in our recliner and the girls had gotten into it, and there were scissors in there (I know.. my fault right here.. 2 days ago we made fruit loop necklaces and I had cut the yarn in the chair and threw them in there before heading outside) Well needless to say, Zoey got ahold of those scissors in the 3-4 minutes that it took me to finish the hallway and office, and cut a chunk off of Ella's hair, I couldn't find it at first because her hair is growing wild anyway, but it is kinda on the back by the crown on the right. Just one little chunk of hair, but I cried and cried. It could have been much worse, from them getting hurt with the scissors or Zoey cutting her own hair, which is mid-back on her, long and straight. Poor Ella is still very baby looking with shorter thin hair. It made me very sad, but I'm grateful that they were watched over and it didn't get any worse than that. I am going to find a much better spot for those scissors and pray that we continue to be watched over because I desperately need a second set of eyes on these two crazy monkies.
