Slow Down, Summer!

Aunt Tammy and Luke kept Ella for me one day and evidently made friends with a new pet tiger. Don't worry, the kids were perfectly safe...Tammy says he is VERY tame! :o) I am pretty sure that Ella is telling Luke he really should not wear that shirt around her. Ha ha!! She had a blast with them that day.

Bhealor has taken to photography. This is "Sisters Self Portrait"...I think we have a budding photographer on our hands!

I think the shirt says it all!

Grandma Kolby took the kids to Great Wolf Lodge for a night. Paige spent the night with them and Ella and I came to visit for a little while. Fun was had by all! Ella was excited to show off her abs. She has been working very hard on them!

Ella held this pose just long enough for the picture. She is wearing a pair of overalls that belonged to her sister and some kickin' A&M sneakers! She is growing so fast! Rolling over is an every day activity now, cereal is no match for her and she can't get enough of Bhealor. It is just adorable!

Road Trip

Ella took her first lengthy car trip this weekend with mama and Nonni. We went to visit Aunt Rayna and Gavin in Houston. Gavin is one month younger than Ella. They had a lot of fun checking each other out. She was perfect on the way down and back. She slept all the way there and most of the way home. Nonni did ride in the back for a short time to entertain her. However, I don't think she minded in the least! A great time was had by all!

Bhealor comes home this week. We are really missing her. You can see from the look on Ella's face that she was happy to hear the news about her sister! It will be good to have her back home!

Happy July!!

Ella is missing her sister...Bhealor went to Missiouri to visit her cousins for 2 weeks. We miss her, but we know she is having a blast! My family went to the 4th of July parade and Ella managed to sleep through some of it. That night, we put her to bed and watched the fireworks from our front yard with Tarah and Terry. Somehow, Ella slept through the whole thing! Don't worry, her hearing is fine! She just likes her sleep! She is deffinately MY daughter!

Ella had cereal for the first time tonight. She was not quite sure what to make of it, but managed to get most of it into her belly!

We entered her into the "Mix 102.9 DFW's Cutest Baby" contest! Round one ends on July 10th! Hopefully she will get enough votes to move on to the next round. Mama and Daddy need that trip to Mexico!! :o)

I got a job! Yea!! I will be teaching 1st grade again in Arlington at Johns Elementary. I am really excited about being back "home". I won't be with my best partner in crime at Farrell, but at least I will be closer! Maybe Tammy and I will meet up at the Sonic. :o)
