Christmas

We had such a wonderful Christmas spending the day with family! We didnt get Brax until 3 on Christmas Day so our Christmas morning with Santa was pretty low key. Ella's big present from Santa was her new stroller/tricycle. She loved it!



Brax must of been really good this year bc he racked up! He got toy's, book's, game's, and his two favorite.... Power Ranger helmet that downloads missions and his new electric scooter!!!



I need to get better about remembering my camera. I took it to Josh's parents house but forgot to get it out:( We did get a family picture though so hopefully i'll get that soon.
This picture is from Josh's phone so its a little blurry, but i still love it! My Grandmother helping Ella walk around.(Miss E is going to be walking before we know it)


These last two pictures I just had to share. I think MeMe went a little overboard, lol




I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

Just had to post these two pics. What a difference a year makes!

This picture was on Christmas day


I love this pic of Ella with Cooper and Hadley

Misc.

Someone is facing forward in her carseat and loving every minute of it!



One thing we are not to happy about is whole milk. :( We tried it for the first time on friday and she hated it. She threw her sippy cup down and started crying. So i then put it in a bottle, she did the same thing. So we are now mixing 4 oz whole milk 4 oz formula. Next week we will try 6oz milk 2oz formula. Wish us luck!

Great Weekend!

What made this weekend so great?? Well we ended up getting BRAXTON! Because PG school district goes until this week we were able to keep our weekend :)
On Saturday Josh took Brax duck hunting at their duck lease in OK. They had such a great time doing BOY stuff. Brax and his daddy informed me that girls were not allowed there, lol
(The name of their duck blind is MR.S LAURA'S)

After the Boy's got home we ate dinner and then drove around a local neighborhood looking at Christmas Lights.



Ella was amazed by the lights. She didnt make a sound, She just look out the window the whole time.


I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

1 year stats

Ella had her 1 year check up today and everthing was perfect! It never gets easy though to see her get those shots. Poor baby:(
She weighs almost 23 pounds, 22.13oz to be exact and she is 30 inches tall!

Thankful Thursday

I'm Thankful that this little Monkey is feeling better!!

Party Pics

We want to thank all of our family and friends for coming to Ella's birthday party! It was a success! Here are some of my favorite pics from the night. (Thank you MK for taking pics for me)
This is the one family pic we got minus Braxton. He had the Stomach bug so he had to stay with his mom in Praire Grove:( We sure did miss him!

Happy 1st Birthday to my baby girl!

Ella,
I'ts hard for me to believe that its's finally here, your first birthday... What a year it has been. So many new experiences both good and bad that I would not trade for the world. You have shown me how to be a better person and more importantly you have brought me closer to God. You truly are the best thing about me. I'm one lucky mommy ;) We love you so much baby girl!

One of my favorite pictures. Your sweet precious feet



I love this picture because it's the first time Braxton got to meet you :) He was so excited to finally see his sissy!








I hope you have a wonderful birthday playing with Nana and Braxton!

Happy Birthday Cooper and Hadley!

Yesterday My favorite 2 year old's turned 3. We love you so much Cooper and Hadley!!!! Hope you had a wonderful birthday!

Fun at MeMe's

MeMe bought Ella a new walking toy for her house that she LOVES!!! Ella walked around for a good 45 min. It was so cute! She looked like a little old lady in a walker :)When we left MeMe's house, she through a fit bc she didn't want to leave the toy. I guess I know what Santa is going to bring her...
here are a couple of pics that i snapped with my i phone



I had to stick this picture in of sweet pa (my dad) and Ella. For some reason she is not to fond of my dad, really any man for that matter. So this picture is one of the few I have of them where she is not crying! She is making progress :)

Cookies for Santa

We will have Braxton one more Tuesday and then we don't get to see him again until Christmas Day :( So we decided to go ahead and make cookies for Santa. We had so much fun!!! I loved seeing the excitement on Brax's face while making the cookies. It's the small things that matter, right!?


Ella even joined in on the fun!








Yummy!

Josh had made a deal with Braxton that if he called him everyday, we would let Braxton open one gift. (nothing like bribing your child, lol) He was so excited when he opened up his new drums!





So excited about my new Drums!

Santa 2011

We took Braxton and Ella to see Santa this weekend. Lets just say Ella was NOT a fan. When she first saw him she started smiling and waving but as soon as we put her on his lap she freaked! Brax was so sweet. He kept rubbing Ella's arm telling her it was going to be okay!



On a side note, my baby girl will be 1 in little over a week! I have a feeling i'm going to be very emotional next week!

More Beach Pics!
