My Girly Girl!!!

When we found out that we were having a girl, I was a little worried. The reason being is I have always been a tom boy and was worried I would have a hard time doing the things girls love...hair, clothes, nails and jewelry.

But watching Ellie and how much she is SUCH a girly girl and how much she loves her little purses, dresses, jewelry, baby dolls and yes...getting her toes painted has me so excited to experience it with her.

I am having so much fun shopping for those dresses, purses, jewelry, baby dolls and nail polish...I get so excited because I LOVE seeing her little expression.

Here is a little sample of our girls weekend...I just love this little one!!!

Utah Trip

We were lucky enough to head down to Utah for Memorial Day weekend. We were able to meet our new little niece, celebrate 4 birthdays, visit with Makenna and have Ellie's 15 month old pictures taken by my amazing sister in law. She does such a wonderful job and we are so grateful for her.

We love being able to go and see the family and spend time with them, its something I look forward to at least once a year.

Cant wait until our next visit.

Mothers Day

Mothers Day was fantastic!! I had such a good day with my little family. It was so relaxing, we went and bought Ellie a new quad, lets just say she LOVES it! We sat in the backyard watched her play on her new toy and just enjoyed each others company.

I am so grateful to have such a wonderful Husband who takes such good care of his girls. I am looking forward to many, many more Mothers Days!!

Life just keeps getting better and better!

Phoenix Zoo

We took Ellie to the Zoo today, we think she had fun, I know that we did. It's so much fun to see how fearless this little girl is. She wasn't afraid of anything.

She fed the giraffes, brushed the goats and was face to face with the monkeys.

The one thing I loved is Ellie wore her sunglasses almost the entire time...it was too cute.

We are having so much fun taking her to do things for the first time, it's kind of like living my childhood again...so much fun!!

Crazy Drivers

We took Ellie to her friend Katelyn's house because Katelyn's daddy bought her a new little jeep. Ellie thought is was so much fun! Ellie kept standing up saying go go go... it was too cute!! Neither one of them could figure out how to do it so Marney and I had to push the peddle with our hand, it was a lot of work but worth seeing how much fun they had.

Easter

It feels like its Ellies first Easter because shes mobile, but really it is her second one. Time is flying by so fast. We had a wonderful Easter Sunday, Ellies Grandpa & Grandma McClintick sent her a cute Easter basket with little treats and a bunny she wont put down, Jeff and I enjoyed eating up all the chocolate.

It was such a beautiful day that we were able to throw all the plastic eggs in the middle of the grass in the back yard and have her go to town. She had so much fun.

Later that day Jeffs Grandma and Uncle came over and we decided to try to take some easter pictures with Ellie in her Easter dress, she was so funny. I just love this little personality coming out.

Ellies First Easter

So, I had a brilliant idea, so I thought. I was out shopping one day and saw this cute little bunny that the kids were sitting with and taking pictures, like Santa. I came home and told Jeff, wouldn't it be so cute to take Ellie to have her Easter pictures taken with the Easter Bunny. He giggled and said sure...(what a good husband, always agrees with his wife's crazy ideas).

We got Ellie all dressed up, flower in her growing hair and went to see the Easter Bunny. Mind you Ellie LOVED Santa Claus so I figured it was going to be the same type of experience. OH was I wrong... this was her expression.

I felt so bad, but at the same time I LOVE this picture!! We were finally able to get a not so scared but I am still really mad at you look...

I love this little girl so much and I am loving every minute of every day with her. Happy Easter!!!
