The Sweet Spot

Now I am officially an embarrassed mom:)..........

Yes, Ella dialed 911 for the first time tonight. Definitely something to put in her memory book- dialling the police at age 15 months. How did I know? They called back:) & they came over because they have to check out even accidental calls. The officer who came was very nice about it & even looked amused at Ella doing it:) We will not be letting her play with the phone anymore:). At Daniel's work today he saw a police chase that came around their building & onto the highway. That was a first too. How thankful am I, that they are there no matter what!!!

Future Artist...........

How cute is this picture:)? It was like she posed:). Ella has colored on paper before but this time we got a coloring book for her. She loved it!! I love to color:), for me it is relaxing, which i don't get to do all the time, Ha Ha!! I've heard the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser gets crayons marks off of walls, hopefully we won't have to use it soon:)!

Sweet Treats......

Thank You Aunt Michelle for her Valentine package yesterday!!!
She loved shaking the box for noise:)

This week I have been sewing skirts for my sister for her CNA job & my mom ended up getting fabric for her for a summer skirt & when I was done there was a little bit left over so for a surprise I made Ella a matching skirt:) I love the fabric!! It is so bright & cheerful!!

The special theme items

This past weekend we were able to go to our church's Marriage retreat. It was held at a beautiful hotel. There is a huge shopping mall near the hotel so we went up there early to check it out. Thanks Mom & Dad for watching Ella:) From the Apple store for Daniel to the Children's place for Ella we walked & walked:). My favorite store was the Lindt lindor Chocolate Store:). They were giving out samples of this month's flavor, delicious!! We got one bag of White chocolate for Daniel & One bag of Milk chocolate for me, YUM!! They had placed in our rooms more special chocolate with the theme stamped in them & bottles of water, which I thought was so nice. Friday evening was formal night. The Food was great during the whole time & the desserts even better:) We learned so much & had so much fun!! It was great to get such a special weekend in:) Our Pastor & Special guest speakers were incredible with their messages. Can't wait to go again next year!!
