Your kids are so cute! I can't believe how big Dallin is - him and Ian would be quite the pair if we got them together. Also, whenever I see posts of Ella her and Rachel really do have tons in common. If you haven't checked out the "Fancy Nancy" books yet, you should get them from the library. Rachel LOVES how exciting Nancy is!
Yay - new pictures for me to stare at! I can't believe how long Ella's hair is getting, and I love the photo of Grant pulling her around on the sled! We did watches this year, too, but for Valentines and for the same reasons you listed, Izzie got a watch along with Erick. I think I carry his around in my purse now, and I have no idea what happened to Izzie's. Oh well, they were fun for a while. :-)
Grant: Ella what do you want to be when you grow up? Ella: Big like you. Grant: No, like a doctor, or a fireman, or a teacher. Mommy: You know like Grant wants to be a Myrmecologist (ant scientist). Maybe a Mommy! Ella: I want to be a Myrmecologist, too. Grant: Maybe you could be a doctor. Then you could fix me when I the ants bite me.
In the house, after bed time
(Ella is supposed to be in bed and loses her special blanket if she comes out - Comes out and stands in Dallin's doorway - where I am nursing - with a look of defiance on her face)
Mommy: Ella, bring me your tickle (aka - special blanket) and go back to bed. Ella: I think I have to go potty. Mommy: Ella, do I need to get your tickle myself? Ella: I hud it (apparently 'hud' is past tense for 'hide' in 3 yr old language). Mommy: I can find it. Ella: I hud it in a special place, you can't find it. Mommy: I heard you in your closet. Ella: (looks around, and then with a smile) I hud it in my drawer. Mommy: Now, I know exactly where it is. Go to bed, I'll be in to get your tickle in a minute. (FYI - She did have a very tiny, forced tinkle.)

Dallin looks like a toddler! Not at all what I have been picturing. These are great updates. Keep them coming! (:

I love Ella's shiny costume. It does seem to fit her.:)
