Sick & Tired.

"Elena has hardly ever been sick." - yes, those words actually came out of my mouth a little over a week ago -- NEVER AGAIN!! Honestly, Elena truly has hardly been sick these past two years of her life - the most I have to complain about is her coming down with a couple colds. But I now believe that if your child hardly gets sick on a regular basis when she eventually does get sick it will be a doozie! For example her symptoms over the last week have included - fever, nausea, diarrhea, runny nose, wicked cough, itchy eyes, so so tired, and wanting to do nothing but lay on my chest and get rocked for 6 days straight!! Poor poor baby girl! I think this picture sums up her thoughts on the past week.
Laying around watching Dora and Mickey is pretty much all she had energy for.
Even when she was actually up for a bath it seemed to take all of her energy. Look at those tired little eyes.
She has been longing to go out and enjoy the snow~
But Cooper was the only who has got to play in it so far!

Do you understand how hard it is to try and work from home with a sick little one?
Not easy.
Thank goodness yesterday she started looking more like her old self - actually playing instead of just wanting to lay around!!
Today she is pretty much back to normal - thank goodness! It is so terrible to see your little one be so miserable and not be able to do anything for them!

Choo choo.

While we were running a couple errands at the mall the other day, we came across this train. Elena was so excited she could hardly contain herself so we decided to take a impromptu ride around the mall! :)

Elena was so excited!

She kept going ''chugga chugga, chugga chugga - choo choo'' the entire time!


The ride lasted about 5 minutes but she has been talking about it ever since. She will randomly look up at me and say - "We rode that choo choo train at the mall!" and start laughing! :)

Happy New Year - 2011!

We had a blast this New Year's Eve! We went to a party at some good friends of ours home. They have this party almost every year and it is always such a fun time! I think one of these past parties might have been where Elena came from! Ha ha! There was a ton of yummy food!

And of course great company!

Elena even had some buddies to play with into the wee hours of the night! Abby and Elena~


Little Molly and Elena~


Check out that tree!
Elena's little lover-boy Henry, he is so stinking cute!


The host with the most Dr. Tom! (I forgot to get a pic of the hostess with the mostess, Kathy!)

How do you entertain two 2-year olds, a 4, 7, and 9 year old? With Michael Jackson's new dance game on Wii of course!!
These two loved shaking it! :)

What about entertaining guests ranging from age 21 to 58? With blow pong of course! ;)

Cheers - milk for them, champagne for us!


Not one, but two midnight kisses for Robert!
Happy New Year!

One last present.

Our friends came over for one last gift exchange last week. Elena was pretty pumped to dig into this giant present!!

Yay - an easel!!
I think she likes it! :)

Then CJ got to open his~

If his tongue sticking out is any indication that he likes his presents I think he loves them!
After Estela got up from her nap she got to open a present too!
Not sure she knows what to think just yet but in a few months she will love it!

We got some great gift cards and Clyde and Lalo got~
Cowboys snuggies!!!!!!! :)

Maybe I should have asked Santa for one! ;)
