Ella's Best Friend!!!

I have been trying to download videos on this for years. I think I have finally figured it out. This is a video of Ella playing with Lily. It starts off so cute so I had to put it on the blog. However, it does end a little inappropriately. This is a slightly PG-13 video!!

Ella Regresses

We started watching our friend's little munchkin a few weeks ago. Baby Zoe was not quite 3 months when we started watching her. Ella has decided she likes the infant carrier better than her big car seat!!

Just Too Cute!!!

I actually took this picture 8/28/09...she needed to wear a coat in August. No, we didn't move, we're still in Kansas City!!! I really lucked out this summer. I think we had maybe 2-3weeks of the brutal heat, and that was it!!! I loved it. Can't wait for cool weather to stay.

Disney's A Christmas Carol Train

Yesterday, my friend Meghan, her daughter Nora, Ella and I took a little trip down to Union Station to see the Christmas Carol train. Ella is absolutely obsessed with trains right now, thanks to my dad!!!! Of course, it was the hottest day we've had in a while. We were a little disappointed that the inside of the train wasn't more kid friendly, but Meghan and I really enjoyed it!!!

Pool Baby!!!

This was the same day as the previous post. Ella swimming on her own. Can't tell by her face if she was actually enjoying it or not!!

Buh-bye Nora!!

Since April, Ella and I have been taking care of our friend's daughter, Nora. This was our last day with Nora. She and her parents are moving back to Omaha in September. We are going to miss them so much!!

Our little swimmer!!!

Ella has gotten so brave. She loves jumping in!!!

Stwetches!!!

I've been having some problems with my back lately. Thankfully, I married a spine specialist. Ella thinks its hilarious to help while I do my stretches. She climbs on and adds a little extra challenge to the situation.

Helping daddy with his "Stwetches."

Ella has to learn to do them too!!

Pool Time

Thank goodness for Target!!! Father's day weekend, target had this awesome pool on sale, so of course we had to get it. It is so fantastic. Its huge!!! Ella has absolutely loved swimming in her new pool.

How does your garden grow?

My cucumber plants are doing awesome. I think I've picked about 7-8 already.

Eggplant blossom!!!

Pepper, bet you couldn't figure that one out!!!

Kale, so yummy. I hadn't had that before but it is really great.

These are pictures of some of the things I am growing in my garden right now. I decided to try out my gardening skills. I started back last fall adding compost to our horrible clay soil so that maybe this summer I could grow our own veggies and herbs. I've done it all organically. So far, things have turned out really well. I'm really excited to see how much we produce this summer!!!

Whose kid is this?

From the beginning, everyone said Ella looked just like Drew. I was hoping that as she got older she would begin to show some signs of taking after me a little...so not that case. I see my sister, especially in this picture. Good thing we love our Auntie Mimi so much!!!

Watch out Paris, here comes Ella Grace!!!

There are no words...

Father's Day

Drew and I both agreed that Father's day/Mother's day this year was so much more fun than last year. Ella had a blast working on our father's day gift for Drew. The saturday before Father's day, we met up with Drew's sister's family at the park and had a blast playing. Ella and her cousin, Lucy, had so much fun going up and down the slide together!!! Such an awesome day.
