Zoo Day

We took Ella to the zoo since it was going to be a beautiful day. Here are a couple random pics from there.




Life looks tough for this guy.


My two favorite people.

Excited to see the Polar bears

Would not take the jacket off for anything.
The girl LOVES jackets and shoes.

Snow Day in Memphis

Isn't it pretty? But, boy, am I glad that's it's gone!

Gatlinburg

So...my husband is the most wonderful person ever! I woke up on a Friday morning 2 weeks ago and thought I was going to work. Needless to say, my husband told me to pack a bag because we were going to Gatlinburg for a long weekend to get away. How wonderful is he!?! He even called my work and scheduled it with them ahead of time so I could be off. And I was just saying earlier that week how much I needed a vacation. So he was reading my mind. He is such a thoughtful, loving husband and I love him more than words can say. Thank you honey for doing that for me. It really meant the world to me. I love you!

Jeremy's going to be outnumbered....again!

YAY! It's another girl!! I'm so excited that Ella will have a sister! Everything is looking great with the baby. She was a little stubborn today and wouldn't cooperate very well, so we are going back in 2 weeks for another ultrasound to get more measurements. Jeremy was a little shocked at first, but is handling it like a champ. :) Also, check back later as I am going to update the blog tonight with everything that we've been doing.

Wind Party USA

We went to breakfast with the fabulous Taylor family the other weekend and on the way home decided to have a wind party. Can you tell she loves it!?!

On another note...we had her 18 month checkup the other day and she did great. She weighs 26 lbs and is 36 in long, which are both in the 75th percentile. The doctor says she looks great, is right where she needs to be with speaking, etc., and she gave us helpful tips on introducing her to her brother/sister. She's growing like a weed and is just so much fun to be around!

After Bath Cuteness

She might just be the cutest thing in the world!!! :)

The Circus is in Town

We went to the circus today! Poor Daddy was working so he missed out on all the fun. Ella was okay with it. She liked looking around at everyone more than watching what was going on in the 3 rings. But we had a fun day and enjoyed our Valentine's Day!





This is pretty much her face throughout the whole show


This is the sword Nannie bought her and she loved it!

Baby #2 Update

I went to the doctor today and everything is looking great with baby #2. The heartbeat was at 160 this time and I even managed to lose a pound from my last visit. The doctor asked me if I was eating. And I told him that was the one thing I do know how to do! Ha! Anyway, it's so exciting to be able to eat anything you want and even lose weight! Just kidding. It'll probably come back and bite me in the butt at my next visit. Well, we should find out what we're having at the next appointment which is March 9th. Keep your fingers crossed that the baby cooperates.

All a girl needs is a good belt and necklace!

Miss Fashionista was walking around with one of my belts and my Florida State football necklace and wanted to wear them. How cute is she? By the way, ignore the dirty outfit.


Look at that hip action


Already posing


She is so proud of herself

Cheesin'

And...cracking herself up...

Back to Normal

Well the holidays have come and gone and we are now back into the routine of things. Sorry it's been a little while since our last post, but Mommy has been exhausted and not feeling too well, so the blog has gotten neglected. Anyway, Ella's doing great. Getting bigger and sassier by the day. She's doing so much that we need to post the video's on here. We'll work on that. She definitely keeps us laughing and we are just enjoying her so much.

Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas this year! Ella was more aware of what was going on and loved unwrapping presents. I found that I definitely didn't take as many pictures as I wanted, but here are a few.


Christmas pj's


Rudolph came in again this year and gave Ella a kiss on the cheek


Getting ready to leave for church

Family picture outside of church. Only my mother could cut off heads. :)

Not a fan of Santa

Didn't go so well this year...on to next year...

Ella LOVES her new shirt!

Yup...that's right...we're expecting another little one come August 10, 2009. I went to the doctor the other day and everything looks great. So we are very excited and Ella has no idea what's about to hit. She'll be a great big sister...we just know it!

Christmas Tree Shopping

Well we went and got a real Christmas tree this year. I was a little skeptical at first. But it turned out really nice, and I'm actually liking it. Here we are at the Christmas tree farm.


Final product pre decorations

Thanksgiving at the Fire Station

Well, we had Thanksgiving this year at the fire station again since Daddy was working. Then Ella and I headed over to my Dad's for some yummy dinner. We had a wonderful time and are so thankful for all the blessings in our life.



Look at Ella in her bellbottoms


Hang on...I got this...

Gosh, we love this girl!

Ella and I had a little photo session the other night. She would sit in my lap and we would take "self-portraits". She thought it was the funniest thing ever. I would take the picture and then show her the screen and she would sit there and just belly laugh. Hysterical! Anyway, not much else going on. Just getting ready for all the holidays. Enjoy the pictures and enjoy the time with your family during this holiday season.


Trying to run away with Tanner's toy. Tanner's not too happy about it. However, she thinks it's great!
