Spend the Night Guest

Last night we had a guest at the Schlenker house. Elly K was excited about it but its hard to tell since Team Umizoomi was the "mobie" playing is Gram's van. This means some serious TV watching:

Nevertheless, here was our guest for the evening...Mr. Jack:

Our two big kids going up the stairs like professionals:

And of course, Gram took them shopping this morning...wonder which one was the better driver:

iPhone Dump: Late Summer Version....

Just a few pictures from the ol' iPhone so you can see what we have been up to lately!

Elly K is starting to wear her sunglasses more frequently:

Book time with Daddy:

EK is really into putting clothes on! Even when she is fully dressed (that is almost 3 complete outfits):

Its blurry but that's Elly K practicing her new circus act:

And here is another act we like to practice...planking:

Of course we still love Max and Ruby before bedtime...but Team Umizoomi is the newest fad in the house:

I gave EK the pack of hotdogs in Wal-Mart (at her request). Guess she was hungry....:

So many toys, so little time:

I keep finding this one backwards than the way I laid her down...wonder what she does in there after I leave the room:

She makes our bed look HUGE:

Team Umizooni takes serious concentration:

Sunday River Time

While in Hamilton this past weekend, Mom wanted to get a picture of me and EK for her house. So after a good nap (for both of us), we headed outside to take some pictures like this one:

 Once the pictures were over we all decided to head to the river for a little fun! Miss EK doesn't know what to think about the float:

 And there are very few smiles at the river because rock throwing is a MUST:

 Elly K and her boat captain:

 Jonathan thought that I needed to be all the way in the water (not happy about my nice clean hair getting wet):

 All of us in the river:

 On the way back to the house, I told EK to smile at Gram. She totally did and this is the picture she snapped. I love that little girl's "cheese" face:

 After a bath and some dinner bites, I just had to snap a picture of this little girl's curls! I know as soon as we cut her hair they will be gone, so I am trying to soak them in as much as I can now:

Hamilton Bound

For the holiday weekend, we made our way up to Hamilton (as well as CB and the nephews). I just had to share a few photos from all the fun we had!

Curt needed to check on the new baby. He wanted to feel it move:

 

Auburn Stinks :)

 I love this picture of the kids! Elly K looks like "Oh heck no, that just didn't happen":

 All three kiddos watching the Alabama game...HA! Yeah right. This was totally a Max and Ruby moment:

Two down...One to go

I'm officially in my third trimester as of yesterday! 

 This baby boy will be here before we know it!

Garbage, Tats, and Dresses

So this post is totally random. No real theme, you can just file it under "What's Elly K up to now". 

So here is the new problem we are facing in the Schlenker house. Miss EK can open up the trash can and put items in there. Here she is putting new, never worn pants in the trash:

She will also put food she doesn't want to eat, her sippy cup, and anything else she deems fit for disposal. 

You may also notice in the picture above EK's arm. Yes, our 16 month old has her first tattoo! We went to my nephews' birthday party over this past weekend and army tattoos were in the favor bag. Of course, Jonathan had it applied before she even went to sleep that night.

But thankfully, outfits with sleeves are starting to be worn. That way the tattoo can be covered up if needed till it comes off (FYI those things are STRONG). Even in those wonderful pictures my Mom took of EK in that cream dress...she had a tattoo. EK the rebel!

And speaking of dresses with sleeves, how cute is this dress and her new shoes!?! Such a big girl:

 

My mom made the dress! Just wait till I post pictures of her in the newest one (let me just say Roll Tide). This style dress is super cute and can be worn with leggings all the way into the winter (with a sweater of course).

Photo Shoot with Gram

Yesterday, my mom (AKA Gram) took Elly K out for a photo shoot. She is wearing one of my dresses from when I was her age. She didn't get very many smiles from the child who was up most the night with a stopped up nose (we don't like having a sick baby...no fun). However we will try again to see if we can get a few with some smiles over the weekend.

So beautiful!!

Fancy pants Elly K!

"What...you want me to smile...?"

And here I am with the same dress on:
