Since my last post.......

The first thing that happened after my last post as most of you know, we moved. It sucks not having our friends to play games with every night, but it is really nice to be closer to my mom. Ella loves her grandma and being able to see her pretty much everyday now!



Ella and I got a pass to raging waters and go as often as we can! She loves the water and I have no doubt she will be swimming by the time she is two.. She can almost float on her back by herself! When I put her in her life jacket, like any baby she screams! but her little tube she loves, she learned that if she kicks really hard she can go across the pool and swim away from me!






Over father's day my adorable niece and nephew were blessed. My sister is a very strong and crazy woman! She was the proud mommy of a cute little three year old and one year old until March 23, when her twins Presley and Porter were born! The very next day Madicyn turned 4 and now she has 4 kids 4 and under! Go Monica!



We were invited to go down to Mayfield with some friends, Jason and Christie, for the last weekend of June. We got there late Friday night and pulled the four wheelers out first thing after breakfast on Sat. We took turns riding the four wheelers and taking Ella for little rides up the street and back. Sat. night we went to the Manti Pageant. It was a great experience. Tim had never seen it before and loved it! I walked up and down the streets of the near by neighborhoods to get Ella to stop crying for the first hour of it, but I got her to fall asleep and the rest was great!



The fourth of July was great! We went to the Centerville parade and had juice and doughnuts at my mom's house for breakfast! Ella clapped and waved to all the floats, but got really mad when her cousin Carter kept climbing into her little car. After the parade Ella proceeded to eat another whole doughnut by her self (I wasn't watching) and threw it up.. Joy! So she wore another of her 5 4th of July outfits up the cabin. Our good family friends invited us up to their cabin near Pineview for a BBQ, party and Fireworks! Ella loved playing with Bronx (4 months old) and his bouncy seat. I had to remind her 100+ times to not touch his face and be soft! She tried to play with Hudson (2 years) but he could walk and run and she just couldn't keep up!They had a few pinatas and since the babies couldn't do it, Tonya (mom's friend) had toys for each of the babies to take home. Ella got really cute pink keys, they are now her favorite toy to chew on. Everyone went to the Huntsville park to walk around the carnival and dance to every kind of music you could imagine! Ella's favorite was the hokey pokey! Right before it got dark a few parachute-rs landed in the middle of the park, and then fireworks started! Then on Sunday we went to my Grandma and Grandpa Joe's house for dinner, it was really fun until the end when we ended up with my grandpa in the Emergency room, he has 9 lives and is home again. It was a great weekend!







Since then Ella and I have done our usual hang out at the house or the pool while daddy is at work. Once Tim gets home it is just spending time with him and taking him to the pool. We can't believe Ella is going to be 1 years old in less than a month! I have been getting things ready for her party, we are doing a family thing about a week early so that Tim's parents can be here for it. We went and got Ella's one year old pictures taken the other day and started buying all of our decorations.

Also, Ella climbed out of her crib and landed on her head one too many times, she is now in a toddler bed before her first birthday! AGH! Crazy child I have!
