Ella's Sleepover At Granny & Grandpa's House

Last night, our Grand-daughter had a "Sleepover Party" with Granny & Grandpa. Oh what fun it was!!! Pizza, Shopping for Polly Pocket Dolls for the Doll House and then Driving in a Blizzard of a Snowstorm, Strawberries, Chocolate Milk, Jumping on Granny & Grandpa's Bed, Late Night Viewing of "Arthur" Episodes while Snuggling Up With Granny, Sleeping in Bed with Granny & Grandpa, Early Morning Breakfast and Swimming Lessons!

Thanks for making our night sweet girl! You are so much fun and oh how we LOVE our Ella Bella!

Movie Date With Ella

On Sunday night, some of the family were gathered around the kitchen table for a late night conversation. Ella and a movie date was just one of many topics. I asked my 2 year-old grand-daughter, Ella, if she wanted to go see The Princess & The Frog. Initially, that sounded great!...Until her Uncle Joseph pulled up the trailer for the latest Alvin & The Chipmunks Squeakquel on his phone. You can probably guess what the final outcome was!

Yesterday, we made our movie date a reality. Ella & Granny, along with her Mom & Dad, and yes, I did make Joseph join us...for our Chipmunk Adventure! The movie was cute...but I happen to think my little grand-daughter was the cutest, as she sipped away on her vitamin water, ate handfuls of popcorn and danced to the final song. She loved it and I loved sharing that with her! We are still going to see The Princess & The Frog because I think it'll be a fun movie date...but we'll wait 'til it makes it to the dollar movie theater. In the meanwhile, Thank You, Ella Bella, for a fun afternoon! Granny loves you bunches!!!

2010 - A Time To Learn New Things

Our cute little 2 year old Grand-Daughter, Ella Bella, began swimming lessons at Cottonwood Heights Recreational Center yesterday morning. Directly following her lessons, she called to tell us all about it. The excitement in her voice was so adorable as she announced "I did swimming" and "I made bubbles in the water" and "I like swim lessons!" Her Mom reported that initially Ella was a bit reluctant to join the other kids, as she preferred to watch them in their instruction. Soon enough, she began to participate and found that she was having a great time learning new skills that would help her overcome any fear of the water and accomplish the goal of swimming. We are so proud of Ella and, as with any new skill, it takes patience, practice and even more practice. We love you, Ella, and wish you all the best in your new adventure! :)

Baby Black & White's

In our Dining Room, I have black & white photos of my Grandchildren on display. I was needing to update one of our adorable Marley...so my Nicole offered to take some snapshots of her the other day. Here are some of my favorite! I'm not sure how I'll ever choose which one to put in the framed grouping. Thank You so much for sharing your talent, Nicole! Truly, I loved all of the pics! You give Marley and Boston a BIG KISS & HUG from their Granny & Grandpa Cahoon! Love Y'all!
