Lots of Firsts

A couple of weeks ago we took a trip to South Carolina to visit Pete's sister and family, as well as for his brothers wedding. Ellie had lots of firsts...airplane ride, the beach, the ocean, a boat ride...needless to say it was a big weekend.

We had to leave our house at 3am for our flight....Ellie went to sleep in her clothes so she would be all ready to go...

this is her before mommy plucked her out of her little bed to put her in her car seat



Ellie seems rather happy and excited for her first plane ride...considering it is 4:07am


Snuggling with daddy before we took off


Watching out the window


Seeming a bit sleepy


A little milk and she was out


We had a stop in Georgia...Ellie checking out the planes


Taking it all in with Daddy


A little play time before we got on the second plane


Out to lunch with Aunt Krissy, Isaac, Haley, Mommy and Daddy


The first night we were there we met up with Pete's parents and had dinner with them...Ellie was deciding what she wanted to eat


Spending time with Uncle Jeff


Getting in some beauty rest before the wedding


A little cuddle time with Aunt Krissy


That Isaac is hilarious

Excuse me Aunt Krissy...but that is my plug and I am not so good at sharing


Just hanging out


On the beach all ready for the wedding to begin


Uncle Jeff entertained Ellie during the wedding


My mom just thinks I'm cute!!!


Our first family beach picture!!!

Ellie checking out sand for the first time...

She liked digging her little piggies into the sand

On to the water...Ellie liked the water washing over her toes


Mommy loving all the new things with Miss Ellie girl


watching the big waves


Mom look how smart I am...I wrote my name in the sand


Holding Daddy's hand and liking the sand


Pete's sister and family...Uncle Jeff-Haley- Aunt Krissy-Isaac


Us with the happy new couple...DC and Becca


Aunt Krissy was happy to hold Ellie any opportunity she got


A walk on the beach before bedtime

Mommy and little Ellie


The walk put her to sleep


Ellie had a big day...she really slept great while we were there

Ellie getting ready for her first boat ride


Ellie just lounging on the boat

Ellie got to float behind the boat while we docked for awhile


While it doesn't look all that comfortable she hung out in the floating toy for awhile and was happy


Ellie taking in the whole experience


Ellie decided she could get use to this life


A fun day on the waterway


Getting ready for some more swimming at Grandma and Grandpa's hotel


Hanging out with Grandma


Lots of kisses and hugs from Grandma and Aunt Krissy
One more swimming opportunity, our happy little family
Grandma saying goodbye to Ellie
On our way home...waiting at the airport...Ellie has her Dr. Pepper and is ready to go!

We have returned home...although you can't see it Ellie is sound asleep when we got off the plane

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
