Stylin'

Now that me and Ella have so many obligations, it's important to look our best.

Fortunately my new haircut is sure to impress all the ladies.  But I think Ella needs to work on not scaring the boys off with her smile.

Polka dots, tutus, golf and grandparents

Gramma Betti and Pops came in town over the weekend to celebrate Rosh Hashanah with us, so we wanted to spend some time showing off all of the things we've been loving lately. First we peeked at Gramma while using her as a tunnel,

then I showed off my golf skills to Pops and spun with Gramma.

It's a good thing my golf and spinning skills are so great, because they definitely distracted everyone from the fashion mistake also known as Ella.

Will baby sisters ever learn?

Food

Me and Ella, we're pretty awesome eaters. We haven't found anything we don't like...yet. Some of our most recent favorites?

Corn.

And ice cream in a cup from Licks is pretty much the best afternoon snack when we're all feeling kind of crummy.

Preschool

Today is not only our first day of preschool, but our first first day of school ever! We've been waiting for this day pretty much all summer long, and it's kind of hard to believe that it's finally here. I was beyond ready to go this morning (after a MASSIVE diaper fail),

but Coopy was a little upset (more like he threw a mega huge tantrum).

Once he cheered up, and we were sufficiently bribed into taking a picture together,

I put my sunnies on and was ready to go.

I'm pretty sure today is going to be the best first day ever!

Labor Day

Since we start preschool tomorrow, Mommy and Daddy thought we should end the summer on a high note. So when we decided to take an extra short nap, Mommy and Daddy decided to embrace it and take us to spend the afternoon at the pool. We figured we'd have even more fun if we brought the Nelsens along, and met the Langers there too. And boy oh boy were we right! We had so so so much fun! The pool is awesome! First, we did some splashing,

and then Coopy and Daddy went down the slide.

I was going to go, but I didn't want to get my sunnies wet.

Then after we had a quick snack and made sure Amelia was cozy in her seat, I played with some bubbles while Logan Langer dumped water on Coopy.

It's ok, he liked it. :-) Then it was time for some dinner pool-side.

After we had our fill of chicken tenders, grilled cheese, fries, sweet potato fries, and chips and salsa, it was time for ice cream.

It was a pretty great weekend, and an awesome end to the summer. And as Liz said as she was leaving today "it's a school night!" tonight.

Pizza Party!!

Tonight, me and Ella, we had our first pizza party with Max and Amelia. It was so much fun! First, Ella decided to test out Mimi's Mamaroo,

and then I decided to try to get my first kiss in.

See, Daddy told me to make my move when Mimi is small, that way I'll always be the one to which she compares every other kiss. Anyway, once we were done marking our claim and making our moves, it was time for pizza.

We got to sit in big kid chairs and everything! And the best part? At the end of every pizza party it's time for ice cream!

And this week we get ice cream Sunday and Monday?! Amazing!

GO BIG RED!

Happy first Husker game! Even though we're not in Lincoln, we're having our own tailgate.

And ice cream.

And bagels.
