More pictures!

Ok, so I haven't gotten the videos up yet. But you'll be happy to know I did put all our family home videos on DVD's last night, so I'll be sending each of you a copy. (Debra and Carole) And though I say "our" family home videos, they're about 99% of Ellie. :) Here are a few pictures from her birthday party, and also, I wanted some One Year pictures, so I had my friend Karen take some pictures of her. Several of them turned out really cute!

Here are a pictures of everyone playing in the pool before eating.



Ellie just walking around after eating

Kirsten helping out with Ellie

Getting ready to open presents!

Loving the giggling shark!



Also, enjoying the tin can. I love this picture, "Mom, what the heck is this?"



Eating Cake! She was pretty tired by this point, so she wasn't real gung-ho about the cake, but she did dig in eventually and eat a little.


I think she had more fun just playing in it, instead of actually eating it!





Here are the pictures we took in Karen's backyard.
This one is a little "bluish" from the shadows, but still cute!

One of my favorites! I'll definitely be ordering an 8x10 of this one!

I like this one 'cause it shows her chewing her fingers, which she's been doing A LOT lately because of all her teeth coming in!

Some more cute ones!


Ahhh mom, too sunny, too sunny!


And a couple last cute ones!

FINALLY some pictures of Ellie!

Sorry this has taken so long! (Don't I always say that? :)) But here are some pictures of Ellie from the last couple of months, I'll post some video and some birthday party pictures when I get home today. Enjoy!

Ellie wearing a cute bandana. I put it on backwards, that's why its poking straight up in the air!



Will and Alta came over with their little boy Drake a couple months ago. Here are a couple pictures of Ellie and Drake hanging out together.




Ellie "helping" Caitlin eat her nachos.



Danny was holding Ellie up against the sky and with the bright blue background and her cute yellow jacket, I had to take some pictures!



Camille got Ellie some pajamas for her birthday. The shirt fits great, but the shorts are a tad big!



Ellie attempting to eat with a spoon. She actually does a pretty good job, as long as you put the food right on her spoon!



Remember that song "Don't Wash My Blankie" from Baby Songs? Well, Aubrey brought it up on YouTube and we watched it the other day. Then Aubrey was washing Ellie's blanket, and got a perfect shot of her reaching for it while it was in the washer. So we call this one "Don't Wash My Blankie" :)


Just a cute picture of me and Ellie at the Provo 4th of July Parade.


I think I may have sent you this picture in an email, but here's a cute picture of Ellie wearing a life jacket when we went to Seven Peaks the other day.

Well, that's all folks! :) I'll do some video tonight, and also put some pictures up from her birthday party.

Happy Mother's Day!

Sorry it's been forever since I've posted pictures and videos of Ellie. I figured this could be a Happy Mother's Day post. :) Here are some of my favorite pictures we've taken over the last couple months. I'll post some videos later, I'll let you know once I've posted them!

Here's a couple pics of Ellie hanging out under Danny's chair in the office.



Ellie getting into my plants, and her first taste of dirt! Apparently she's not a fan! :)



Ellie getting into my office stuff.



Just a cute picture of Ellie with her Daddy!


Going up the stairs


Ellie peeking through the rails at the top of the stairs.



Trying to scale the gate we put at the bottom of the stairs.



Mom wasn't paying close enough attention and Ellie found an open pretzel bag in the pantry and start shaking it and pretzels went everywhere!



Ellie "walking" around by hanging onto the wall.



I think we have a ballerina on our hands, check out those toes!




Trying on Ellie's swimsuit. It's a little small, we may have to get another one before we actually go swimming.


Danny calls this Ellie's "timeout". It's not really, but if we need to set her somewhere she can't move, we put her on the bottom step. Her feet don't reach the floor and so she's kind of stuck there. It's pretty cute, she'll just hang out there for at least a few minutes, just chillin'. Till she realizes she's stuck, then she starts getting fussy. :)



I think we got this outfit from Becky's girls. It was a warm day so I decided to put Ellie in a cute "summery" outfit.


Ellie enjoying Caitlin's guitar playing.




Ellie wearing her cute fur boots that Michelle got her at the girl's retreat last year.



Well, that's it. Like I mentioned before, I'll get some videos posted hopefully today, or tomorrow at the latest. Happy Mother's Day!
