poor kid

Ella has really bad excema and is itching really bad. She starts scratching and can't stop. Pretty soon her diaper is pulled down itching. She scratched so hard in some parts, she started bleeding. The doctors said to cake her with vasaline throughout the day and give her benedryl to help stop the itching.

creative kiddies

Ella loves to play Peek-a-boo in the thomas the train tent.

Blake was sick but when he felt better, he cuddled with Ella. She loves to go and sit on his lap or just lay against him. He is a very good big brother.

Malynda is learning how to cook. I know I know, I can't cook. She is taking after her dad.

Thanks Grandma Edde

Grandma Edde sent a package to the kids. She made Ella's dress. Ella wouldn't sit still for a picture.

happy valentines day!!

I was trying to think of something fun for the kids to do today for Valentines Day while I babysat them and we made cards with these pictures in it for their parents. Aren't they cute?

gifts from grandma edde

Grandma Edde sent the kids their christmas presents which included a new quilt for Malynda's bed that matched her cousins Lauren and BrieOcea's quilts to.
Robby always cuddles up with Ella when she falls asleep. He is her protecter.
Grandma Edde made these p.j.'s for the kids using fabric pieces from my Aunt Carolyn's collections. Blake is sporting my new slippers.
