adorable:)

this morning as i was getting josiah dressed, ella kate came in to 'help' me! we picked out some clothes and when ella kate saw the finished product, she said, "oooohhh 'siah, you look ADORABLE!! not like dura (dora), but ADORABLE!!"
well put... we think our bubba is adorable.... bruises and all:)

everyone needs a yaya!!

yaya is my sister lauren! she is an amazing aunt! she and josiah are super special buddies and of course miley and ella kate love her too:) now, dont get me wrong.. we love our aunt erin too, but she has a family and other obligations, so we try and squeeze in enough yaya time, before we lose her too!! lauren came over during one of her days off this week and i snapped this picture of her and the babies! we love you yaya!

first shiner..

josiah is now ... a big boy!! he officially has his 1st black eye, (well, technically it is his cheek, but who cares!!) we were visiting our "unk eck" (that is what ella kate has named her uncle eric) at his work, and josiah walked square into the corner of his desk!! that boy falls and bangs his head more than anyone i know! he is such a bruiser and a clumsy one at that.... but he is a trooper! he cried and wanted daddy to make it all better, and then he was back down walking into more doors and walls! cutie pie:)

trying to help

so... it is nap time at the davis house! everyday, from around 1pm until 4pm ella kate and josiah nap. miley of course still eats every 3 hours, so she eats when i lay them down and then she goes down around 2pm until 4pm... ANYWAYS... right now they are all supposed to be asleep, but bill heard ella kate talking and moving around in her room, so he went in to check on her. [now, keep in mind that we are 'working' on the potty training thing. some days are great and some days are not so great! we ran some errands this morning and she TT'd in her poo-yup (pull up) so i changed her and put a new poo-yup on her when i laid her down for her nap just now.] so back to the story... when bill walks in her room, he smacked in the face with this HORRIBLE smell and the sight of his daughter struggling to get her panties up with poo all over her hands. apparently, right after she TT'd in potty and got a clean pull-up on with me, she had a tummy ache and had a messy accident. she tried to take off the dirty pull-up, wipe herself clean with about a dozen wipes and put a new pull-up on. TALK ABOUT A MESS:) thankfully, bill cleaned it all up without a complaint and tried to tell ella kate that momma's and daddy's need to help take off dirty diapers and put clean ones on. i am sure he was having a hard time controlling his gag refluxes as he is cleaning off poo from her hands down to her toes. bless her heart though, she was just trying to help!!

in less than an hour...

it is amazing what all my kids can do and say in no time at all! for instance, if you were a fly on the wall from 4- 4:30 this afternoon... this is what you would have seen and heard....
ella kate got a fun, new straw for valentines and has been dying to use it. with it in her hand she tells me, "momma, my is soooo thirsty!! i might fro up!!" she had a full sippy cup on the counter, but she was SOOO thirsty for that new straw:) i told her i would get her some water that she could drink with her new straw and she said.. "oh... and i'ma need some cheese too!!" so i get miss priss settled and turn the corner to see that josiah has opened up our case of bottled water and lined them all up along the window sill (sp??). he was happy so i left him alone. i thought i would tackle some laundry before i started supper and josiah found him a sheet and put it over his head and walked around the house. that boy... he has a fetish with things on his head!! after i finished folding the mountain of clothes that were on my kitchen table, i decided to get started on supper. i hear ella kate downstairs saying, "baby mi-ey.... where ARE you?!!?" ok, last i knew.. i put her in her bouncy seat with a praise baby dvd. a little concerned with what ella kate was saying, i peeked my head downstairs and see ella kate standing next to a squirming bundle of sheet!!! miley was still in her bouncy seat... she was just covered with josiah's sheet (which he apparently dropped while getting sidetracked with the tv). ella kate just wanted to play a game of "pick-ee-oooo!" miley was sucking her thumb and smiling the whole time:) sweet baby!! i ask ella kate if she can play something else and let miley be alone for a while. so, with that i continue to work on supper and in walks miss priss with her 'dancing shoes' and the sheet over her head! "look momma... my like jesus!!"
"yes, ella kate... you do look like jesus! but, i dont think that jesus wore dancing shoes though..."
"oh, yes him did! him's yub dancing shoes!!"
oh.....well.. i stand corrected!

conversations with miss priss!

*i hear a mumbling voice in the backseat and i thought ella kate was talking to me, so i turn around and say, "huh?" ella kates gives me this look and says, "momma, don't say huh! i's singing!" oh excuse me...

*while looking for her dancing shoes (plastic, dress-up shoes) she askes yaya if she knows where they were. yaya says, "no". ella kate says, "yes, yaya... your know!" later.. yaya finds the missing shoe and gets a "good girl!" from ella kate:)

*today, at mimi's house, ella kate came in the room with something wet and red (like her gatorade) all over her shirt. i asked her what it was and she said, "oh.. i spilled biscuit on me, but you don't want to get it off right now. ok?"

*"momma, i wanna watch snow white and the sen doooors!!"

*while putting the babies down for bed tonight, ella kate comes out of her room after 5 minutes of being in there. she finds me in my room and says, "momma, i just went night-night in my room!" i say, "oh really?" and she said, "don't say that momma, you gotta say good girl ella kate!" "oh, good girl, but lets go back down to your room and go night-night for real".

*in the bathtub tonight, ella kate thought that the water was going to be too hot. but she got in and said, "oh... it is perstick! (perfect) it is not too code (cold) for me!" love her..")

our little pwincess..

so it is no secret ella kate is into the 'princess' thing! last night we had a valentine's banquet at church and everyone got dressed up. i had gone out and gotten a special dress and when ella kate saw me in it she said, 'wow momma.. you a pwincess!!' sweet girl:) it's amazing what a little make up and change of clothes can do:)
then this morning, i was getting her dressed for church. she wasn't wearing anything new or extra special, but it WAS a dress therefore she WAS a pwincess! she looked in the mirror and said,"ella kate's a pwincess, my need to go tell everyone!" so look out world, princess ella kate has arrived:)
