Pigs aren't gonna fly around here

Nothing like walking through a room and catching this out of the corner of your eye.  Even pigs have to be safe now.  Other Ellisonism's heard recently:

Ellison:  I got to need IT!!!!!

********

Me:  Quit screaming!!!

Ellison:  I not screaming, I crying (loudest cringe worthy scream EVER)!!!

********

Me:  Els you are not getting anything out of this fridge.

Push, push, push.

Me:  Ellison Ann you are not getting anything to eat right now!

Ellison:  You are killing me woman!

Me: (Head hung) you are seriously killing me right now!!!!

She also frequently works the word seriously into any conversation, when she doesn't like what you are saying.  We laugh, we shouldn't but we can't help it.

We found her weak spot

So when we stopped in Alabama coming back from the Beach, we had left all the cats with my parents to cat sit.  One of the bats, BOO, had been getting sick so my Mom took him to see Dr. Logan.  Mr. Boo had been very sick for some time and we didn't know, he had to have a kidney removed.  He wasn't able to come back with us and Ms. Hadley didn't take it well.  We left her in Alabama for a week, so she could go see Boo each day and that meant this little lady has gotten some serious one on one time this summer.  Her final night as an "only" child we took her for frozen yogurt, which she loves, this child could eat her weight in ice cream products. 

I'm a BIG girl NOW!!!!

Since this girl did so well while we were at Disney with her potty training, we transitioned full time to big girl panties.  Let me tell you these big girl panties, but an extra little swagger in her step.  She thinks she is hot stuff, truth is we kind of think she is.  She has had a couple of accidents, but they were kind of our fault too, she told us she had to go and we just didn't get her there in time.  The crazy thing is, she is waking up completely dry from naps and sleeping through the night without wetting.  She may have been behind Hadley when she transitioned to big girl panties, but she is staying dry all the time much quicker.  It really is TRUE, each baby is their own unique little person and you can't rush them, it's THEIR timetable.

Check for TWO!

On the way home from the Beach, we stopped back in Alabama.  My parents agreed to babysit (I may have begged really hard) so that Wayne and I could go on a very rare dinner and movie date.  We made it a double date with Matt and Nikki, who we haven't had an adult meal with in well like forever.  It was a great evening.  We saw the movie, People Like Us, which I really liked because it wasn't like every other movie you have seen.  Ahhh, adult conversation, yes I'll take some of that please.

Just BEACHY!!!!

We ended our vacation at the BEACH!  I must say this was my absolute favorite part of the trip.  However, it was the most crowded I have ever seen it.  The 4th of July, plus being on a resort meant we could literally reach out and touch someone at any given moment.  The girls didn't seem to mind, the absolutely loved the beach this year.  Wayne took them out about chest deep in the ocean and played with them, which made them both giddy and entertained them for hours.  We would spend every morning at the beach, go back for late long naps, then get up and go to dinner.  The night of the 4th we got to see an amazing fireworks show on the resort too.  It was a great vacation with many wonderful memories!!!
