First Birthday

 

 Making cupcakes

 

 

 Playing with her friend Drew.

 So many presents!

This is the only smile photo we got! Good thing it is adorable! The rest are either confused or upset. I think she got some frosting in her eyes and thats when she was done.

 

 

 

 

 Trying to get cleaned up. She hates being cleaned up!

I am one year old already! I'm doing all sorts of things like waving, and pointing. I have experienced camping and boating this month and have had so much fun. I love knocking over blocks and have been saying mama and dada for a while now. I have taken a few steps but always chicken out and sit down when I realize whats going on! I am finally getting my 3rd tooth, the top left. I am 28.8 in tall (39%), and only 18 lbs 4 oz (9%). I'm kinda little!



Happy Birthday Sweetie!

This is what I was trying to recreate.

This is what I got! I have seen the failures on Pinterest before and I think this should be on that list! I actually like the result anyway. I don't think she was scared of the balloons, I think she was just upset about being put in bed when it wasn't bed time.

Morning on the Deck

Almost Her Birthday!

Ellie is already excited about her Birthday cake. She told the Pillsbury Dough Boy all about it, and more.

First Time Camping: Part Three

 We love Bear Lake! It is blue and clean, but also so cold!

 Abby and Miah both tried wakeboarding. They used a teeny-tiny wakeboard Rob borrowed from a friend. They were so close to getting up!

 Ellie was just too sleepy. I was shocked that she could sleep through everything that was going on.

Jaxon LOVED to jump in the water. Every time the boat stopped, he was jumping out of it!

 Ellie was still asleep on me, so Rob got to drive the boat and pull Danny. 

 Miram has skills.

 It started looking pretty dark behind me, exactly where we were camping.

 Jaxon back in the water!

 Looking a little stormy, perfect weather for tubing!

By the time we got back to camp, it was pouring for the third or fourth time that day. We loaded up and decided to call it quits. It was a quick trip but definitely a success.

First Time Camping: Part Two

 What is a camping trip without a fire?

 Its hard to smile with a mouth full of Cheerios. Is it clear yet that Ellie loves Cheerios?

 Aunt Miriam reading books with the kids.

 Ellie stole Miah's butterfly catcher.

Playing in the neighbors creek until it started raining!
