She giggled!

Just when we thought she couldn't get any cuter, she starts giggling. She was in her bouncy chair kind of fussing so Josh picked her up. She made the saddest face like she was going to start crying and then all the sudden she started laughing. I don't think she knew what she was doing. It just came out, but she kept doing it. I ran and grabbed my camera and got most of it on film. She's 11 weeks old.

Paulette's Picture

My friend Paulette was in town for Sydney's birthday and she took some pictures of us and my brothers family. These are a couple of my favorites. Thanks Paulette! She took some pictures of Ellie when she was 3 weeks old but I couldn't download them, so when I figure it out I will put them up.

Sydney's Birthday

She's 5!
Happy Birthday Sydney!

Birthday dinner at BJ's. The pizzookie's were so good.

The Primary Christmas party was on her birthday, so she got to see Santa.

Josh played playstation with Sydney for hours the night before her birthday. He is so sad she is growing up. He told her that they had to stay up all night so her birthday wouldn't come the next day. She had to inform him that that would not work and she would still have a birthday. So sad our baby is growing up.

Ellie rocked her Twilight shirt to the premiere ( made by Natalie Howe- so cute)

Thanksgiving

Hanging out after we stuffed ourselves.

McKenna and Sydney goofing around

Sydney has been wanting to go shooting with my Dad, because she got new boots and of course that's what you do when you have boots, right? It was actually cold in Palm Springs, so the girls stayed warm in Amanda's trunk and watched everyone shoot.

Don't worry...it's not real.

Amelia Lyon took family pics when Ellie was one week old. Amelia you are amazing!!

This pumpkin is real! It was out in front of
someone's house, and they grew it in their backyard

Since I'm new to this whole blogging thing, my sister-in-law, Elise, was showing me a few things. Picasa 3 is my new favorite thing. It makes blogging so easy. It organizes my pics, makes it really easy to edit and then put the pics straight into my blog. I was playing around and made this little collage. I haven't been able to have the mess of scrapbooking out for a while so blogging has taken it's place, and I'm becoming a little obsessed. Never thought that would happen.

So Loved

Luckily I have the best mom in the world, or I would not have survived the first week of my recovery. She is amazing. Thanks Mom!

ELLIE ADELAI BURNHAM

she's finally here, with a TON of hair!

the new addition to the fam

Sydney finally has a little sister.

Josh and I were watching a stand up comic on TV and he was talking about when his wife was pregnant. He just got home from a long day of work, exhausted. He said it looked like his wife hadn't done anything all day. So of course he says irritated, " Hi, Honey. What did you do today?" She says, " I made a lung!" He definately backed off after that. So it seems like I haven't been doing much lately but trust me I have. Here's proof. (3 months along and 8 months)
