Sweet little Ella bella!

As you can see Ella is still in love with her big pink bunny. She has also come to have a new love for the show Sesame Street! It's so funny because she just becomes so enthralled with it! It's the only cartoon/kid show that she will watch the entire thing without even getting up and moving around! It's so funny/cute.

A few weeks ago i took Ella outside to play and i let her explore and get dirty! She absolutely LOVED it!



She was so curious and just wanting to put every rock and leaf in her mouth!



Having a ball!



Deciding what to get into next!



You can see the dirt around her mouth from sampling the goods of nature around her!



These pictures were taken on Mother's day! Ella is such a little doll and I am so glad that I could be blessed to be her mother!



Caught her by surprise...she's such a little ham!





Ok, how can you not just fall in love with that precious little angel face!



She's just so darn adorable!



This is when Ella turned into an Oompa Loompa!



Boy did she love smearing that chili-mac all over herself!

Good times!

Our fam took a little trip to Galveston about 30ish minutes away and went to the beach a couple of weeks ago. We had a fun time seeing some of the sights of Texas.





El and Daddy.

As you can see, Ella has become "Miss Independent" and she had a ton of fun feeding herself yogurt!

Disclaimer: Don't mind her hair again...i had her hair in a little rubber band and i pulled it out because it was falling out after she had tried yanking it out.











I think she poured some on her tummy and it was pretty cold.



She is just so animated with her facial expressions that I just can't get enough pictures of them!



Ella and Daddy love playing together. Look at her staring at her daddy so adoringly!

More of the catch up series!

As most of you all know we moved to Houston Texas around two weeks ago for Chad's summer sales job with Preventive Pest Control. So far Texas has been treatin us right but as for the humidity we could do without out it! The sad thing is it will only get worse!



This was taken while we were packing up our things to move and as the cruel parents we are we thought it would be funny to tape Ella's arms down!



At first she thought it was pretty funny then she was trying to bust out, no worries though we let her free! Even though sometimes it would be nice to just tape her up and keep her in one place for a little while! Ha :)



It was a sad day when I had to say my goodbye's to all my friends especially my buddy Hayley Redder.



Ella sure misses her little bud Jake that she kinda bullied on accident just because she's older and more mobile. Sorry Jakers! p.s. Don't mind Ella's crazy hair...she's going through this awkward hair stage and truly i am at a loss of what to do with it...and this is pretty much how it looks after taking a bath and just letting it air dry. If only she would grow more hair on the sides of her head then it wouldn't look so reverse mullet-ish!


Ella and I were able to go visit my family before going down to Texas and it was a good time...
we also had fun at the park while we were there.



My brother Tyler was having a blast with Ella on the playground.



My mom was having a great time as well...she took Ella on this slide and I think it surprised her how steep and fast it was.



Ella would always look scared as she would go down the slide but at the bottom she would be grinning from ear to ear!



Swings were her favorite.





Good ol' mom and dad lookin cute as always.





Grandpa Lamb helping Ella rock out on this rocking toy.





Discovering wood chips...



Tasting them...doesn't really like them but...



keeps on chewin'!



Gotta love this girl!

Ella's 1st Birthday!

Part of my "Catch-up Series" was Ella's 1st birthday party on April 10th!



Ella and her little buddy Jake Redder. We were pulling them around in this laundry basket and they were havin a good ol' time before her little party.



We gave Ella her own little cupcake and at first she just picked at it and didn't put any in her mouth then when she finally took a taste she went to town!











By the end she started just smushing it all over her face and up her nose! It was so funny!







She loved her birthday cupcake!



All happy and sticky!



After giving her a bath we gave her a huge stuffed animal bunny present that she LOVES!



When i was shopping with her at Walmart she saw this bunny and just started getting so excited, I just had to get it for her for her b-day.



She seriously loves this bunny she kisses it and hugs it and snuggles with it.





It's so cute cause she tries to carry it around with her but it's about double her size so she is always like grunting and tugging to try to bring it along with her.



Here's the video that we took of Ella eating her b-day cupcake.




All done with her cupcake and rubbing cupcake all over her face!
