Our goofy Ellie

Just a few pictures before we head out for the weekend to South Carolina for Pete's brother's wedding. These are just some random pictures from the last couple of weeks that I thought I would leave you with. (Alyssa look there is an update!!!)



Our big blue eyed girl





See that big toe...it is headed straight for my mouth



Mommy why do Grandpa and I have socks on our ears?



And why exactly am I wearing my pants on my head...


I would like to object!!


Daddy can you do this trick...spread your legs apart and lay your head down between them??


Ellie proud of her tricks, thinking Daddy needs some practice

This is one of the places I like to spend most of my time

Looking COOL!!!


Ready to hit the beach!

Hi Mom...

There are lots of flowers...

And if I am there, so shall my dog be also

Road Trip

Over Memorial Day we drove out to Virginia for my nieces/Goddaughters confirmation. Ellie did great on the long trip...eating dinner in the car Friday night, played for a while. Then we stopped put on pj's, she had a bottle and she then feel asleep in the car for the rest of the night. It was great for Ellie to meet more family members and have a few firsts.

Ellie enjoyed her first time in a pool...she kicked kicked kicked

Mom this hat is huge...I am sure the sun won't get within 20 feet of me

playing with my new caterpillar

Getting some love from Aunt Angie

Katie giving Ellie her nighttime bottle

My brother Paul, Angie, Arron and Katie

Many people think we look a lot alike, when Katie was little many people asked if she was my daughter

Celebrating with Katie

Our little beach girl

All that swimming can wear a person out

Bailey needed a turn in the pool, he went surfing

Ellie and Henry

Several weeks ago Ellie and Mommy headed to Mommy's friend Elizabeth's House. Ellie and Mommy watched Henry while Elizabeth went to school. Henry and Ellie seemed to have fun together...

(sorry these aren't in order of our day)

Ellie doing some reading

A happy Henry

Ellie checking out what is going on

We went on a walk, thanks to the double stroller

Ellie likes being outside

2 cute kids

Everyone happy kicking and or jumping

Henry keeps a leg on Ellie so she can't get away

Matching jammies... (I gave Elizabeth a package when we found out we were pregnant at the same time they were with matching jammies and when she opened it I told her perhaps our kids could wear these) Although she already had a feeling that we were pregnant when I told her, must be that mothers intuition

I must say, I love that sweet face

Ellie checking out the jumparoo

Both sitting like angels

The following morning...Ellie wondering where her buddy Henry is???

Last weekend we traveled to WI for a friends wedding from High School. The groom is a writer for a paper in Madison WI and has a radio show covering the Packers...The wedding was very nice and we had a great time...

For the Grand March Bucky Badger arrived at the Pfister Hotel in downtown Milwaukee to steal the bride from her Husband and carried her in...

So after the grand entrance we had our picture taken with Bucky.


More pictures from the last weeks...we will catch up one of these days...

Morning Mom...what's for breakfast?

Wherever Ellie is, Bailey is there also


Our little Ellie




Bath time is one of her favorite times of the day
