America's Next Top Model...

Jess & Ella came over so we could go walking (and to the playground!) Plus I needed to take some pics of Ella for her birthday invites... It was so funny b/c I asked Grace before they got to our house if she would mind helping Ella pose "pretty". In general Ella never wants me to take her picture, its like she gives me this look that says "Tina - you an inconvenience to me, don't you get it I'm P-L-A-Y-I-N-G!!!" So I wanted to get Grace on board helping, which she loves to do! Grace said, "Sure! Oh I have a good idea, it would look great if she put her feet up on the house." Not sure where she was going with that but I said sure. So when Ella got to our house Grace was great at helping. She even tried to teach Ella how to pose & Ella bless her heart tried to do whatever Grace did but it didn't quite look the same... see pics below! Jess & I both agreed Ella looked like a bad contestant on America's Next Top Model! I was laughing so hard I thought I might pee my pants:-) Good thing they are all so cute - they can pose however they want & still win hearts!

From there we went to the playground, little Eva didn't want to leave - threw a fit when I put her in the stroller... for someone so little she sure has a TEMPER! Whew! I hate to think about what she will be like as a teenager - yikes! But she settled down quickly, we walked over to Brenda's addition for a little change of scenery. While there I thought I saw a real owl, so the girls were checking him out - while standing there Jeff, Brenda, Breanna & Jarrod pulled into the addition. The girls had to go see them... they had so much fun running around over there, Jeff lit the fire & got out fish food. Eva was Breanna's little side kick, it was hard to get them to leave. And when we did leave, neither Jess or I could believe how long we'd been there - day light savings sure throws you for a loop! We didn't get back to our house till almost 10 p.m., and it was just starting to get dark! CRAZY!!! Jess's mom called & said, "what are you doing w/ my baby out so late?!" Funny - Jess told her mine was littler & she was still out. But the girls had great fun, it was kind of nice to just enjoy the evening & totally lose track of time - makes me feel like a kid again:-)
