bk4

meet my favorite niece, ella jane

ella was sound asleep when i started shooting…she woke up and just stared for a second, then says..BOING! BOING! one of her favorite words to say. lol.

who does that? ella does, cause she’s awesome. :)

i love her hair…and eye lashes…and her beauty mark…and her nose…and…ok i’ll stop. :) melanie’s favorite.

bk4? brian’s initials are bk. then britt (my sis) became bk2. ella became the 3rd klems and now bk4 is on her way!!

ella says, “uno, dos, tres! one, two, three!”…whether we are reaady or not!


don’t you just love this? nonni (my mom) got her this chair last easter, and she jsut thinks she’s too cool when she sits in it. ella is 20mths going on 20yrs.

i dread the day she doesn’t let us shower her with kisses anymore :-/

mommy’s belly button goes, “Bee Boop!”   (notice the other images from our other photoshoots lol)

since 12mths, ella has LOVED to read books. we like to change the words when we read the books over and over…have to keep it interesting!

thanks to dora, ella speaks more spanish than i do after 2 yrs of it in highschool. lol

this picture made me realize, holy heck, ella is big, and she’s about to be a BIG SISTER!!! this is the strangest reality to me. i feel like i’m still waiting for ella to be born!

this shot will never get old. adam’s fav.

you know, adam isn’t a big fan of this shot…but as cliche as it may be, i still like it. maybe because i’m obsessed with everything to do with pregnancy and babies!!

you know who is inside that belly? MY GOD DAUGHTER!!!!! :) :)   i caaaaaaaan’t waaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiittttttt!!! (mel’s fav #2)

britt is my oldest sister by 5 yrs, isn’t she beautiful?  even though off and on through growing up, we spent a lot of days wanting to punch eachother(literally did most the time), haha, we

love eachother now. it’s so awesome having two older sisters to hang out with, talk, just simply enjoy our lives together. in fact, we still have sleepovers! and no husbands allowed!!

it’s so exciting watching her belly grow with each baby and seeing her be such an amazing mom. i know i’m bias, but ask ANYONE, ella is perfect and it’s all because of britt

and brian. just so cool to think about. just like through my whole childhood, i idolized my big sisters and now i want to be as great of a mother as she is now!

this image is purely to make bk2 laugh. while ella was in the womb, we did preg shots and brian had the hardest time with this… i won’t publicly make fun of him, but just know, it’s all

out of love brian. lol.

it just occured to me while commenting that we’ve never blogged ella before?! we’ve taken a million pics of her, but since we have had the blog, we were always

so slammed we couldnt post because we had to work on everyone elses images. you’ll see her around a lot more, don’t you worry!

For now we are all counting down the days til the new baby arrives. she’s due on the 10th,

but i’m hoping for tomorrow! hehe. love you guys, i love you ella! (she always replies, “i love you MORE!”) :)

heart mel and adam

day one.

day two.

day three.

day four.

day five. :) aren’t they great sports? thanks kate, karen and angie!

well i hope you all had as much fun as i did! it was a busy, busy week. in school we did a project everyday, which sounds like it’s to be expected from an art teacher…right? well no, it’s NOT!! lol. i teach 8 classes (30min slots), 200 kids on a daily basis. needless to say, we do at max 3 projects a week simply so i don’t check myself into an institution! and the fact i spend 8 hrs a day bent over equipment that is the height of my mid thigh!! talk about BIG people LITTLE world!! my back hurts 24/7.  anyway, we closed our pink week with a nice little treat on this warm day! PINK COWS! red cream soda floats! mmmm. i’m proud to admit that i shared a float with all 8 classes! lol YES! that’s A LOT OF ICECREAM. :) my weakness, ok?! other important things that happened this week? multiple visits to christ hospital. good friends of ours had a BAAAABY! baby brady to be exact! you will see him on the blog eventually.  and my mom had another major surgery, (4th of the year!?) only two knee replacements to go! prayers are very welcomed!  i did go to the hospital FULLY decked out in pink, wig included. HAHAHA. i love that. different family members walked the halls with me, surprisingly not embarrassed at all! i stayed dressed up to make my moms post op a little bit more enjoyable. :) a few surgeries ago happened to be on purple day, so i went fully dressed up then too. the nurses think it’s hilarious. so do i. why not completely change your personality for the day? its awesome to pretend to be whoever you want and i’m never going to see these people (usually the case) again so it doesn’t matter!! i strongly recommend it. anywho, i’m off to have a sisters sleepover tonight! can’t wait! :)   oh, and i’m in disney starting sunday.:-D wooo wooo.
