Newsworthy

I keep waiting for something newsworthy, or some cute new pictures to post...however, nothing is really happening at the Swanson's. Hmm, last week my newest niece Ellie was born. She just happened to come on the same day that I was planning to have a baby shower for her mom, Sharon. Well, since I really had no clue who was invited (someone else passed out invites), we decided to still have the shower without the guest of honor. We had a great turnout-16 guests I think. I made a really good homemade carrot cake (though I obviously need to take a cake decorating class or something). I was sad that Sharon missed it, though it was fun to take her all the presents at the hospital . Ellie is beautiful.

Fun at the park

The kids love going outside to play. When grandma was here we took them to this great park a few miles away. I love the playground there...it is too bad you have to seriously drive through the ghetto to get there...needless to say, I wont take the kids there alone. We had lots of fun.

Hailey loved making cookies with grandma Swanson and wearing her cool apron. Thanks for coming and having so much fun with us grandma!
