Elmo Live and other random things

Elmo's Green Thumb!

We took Ella to her first Live show last weekend thanks to my cousin, Jamie. She had some free tickets to the show and of course we couldn't say no. Thanks for thinking of us Jamie! Ella had an absolute blast! She was so excited to see all the Sesame Street Characters. She would put her hand over her mouth in awe as each character made their entrance. She was so much fun to watch. Waiting for the show to start
Her new binoculars

Daddy had to try them

Waiting patiently. She was so excited.

Dancing with the music

Making silly faces

We had pretty great seats for free tickets too.





And here is the random stuff.

Ella playing with Pudge and Sadie. She loves our dogs so much.

And random Ella and mommy pictures. I just thought she looked so cute in her ponytails.

Thanks for catching up with us!

Where have we been?

These pictures are random, but the one below is Ella and Daniel playing choo-choo train. She loves to sing the,"All aboard the Choo-Choo Train" song from the Disney channel. Silly girl! We all had to take turns riding on the train. Don't even as why Daniel is wearing a snow hat.
Enjoying the warm weather.

Look at that Smile! I love it!

Happy 80th Birthday PaPa! ( my great-grandpa)

Another outfit!

I made Ella another outfit. I thought it turned out really cute. Gymboree has nothing on me!! Ella loves it of course. It was a little harder than the dress, but pretty easy. If I made another one, it would take me a lot less time. I added the ruffles to the bottom of the pants to give it a little more style. I think I found a new love! I love dressing up my little girl!
She insisted on wearing my slippers.

You can see the back in this one.

What's up?

The Park and Ella's new dress!

The last couple of days outside it's been 75 and 80 degrees...in JANUARY!! But we've been loving it! We definitely tried to take advantage of it as much a possible. I have spring fever SO BAD right now! She thinks she is walking on the beam. I really think she is a gymnast in the making!

I love this one!

She loves to swing.

The New Dress!!! Actually I made it!!! I'm really excited about this one because I usually only make blankets and things like that, but I decided to try a dress. I was passing by the patterns at the fabric store and came across the pattern for this dress. I thought to myself that it looked pretty simple and I wanted a new challenge. It was so easy to make and I absolutely love it! Not to mention it looks so cute on Ella! I can't wait to make her another one!

My latest project

My friend Amanda showed me how to make a hooded towel and Ella absolutely loves it! Thanks Amanda. I tried to jazz it up by adding her name and hearts on it for decoration. I just wanted to share. Here you go Jenny!

The Stock Show 2009

We went with Daniel's parents and Hannah and Kaity to the Stock Show this weekend. The girls had a blast, and we all loved watching them get so excited over the animals and of course the rides. So cute holding hands.

Running to give Hannah a hug.

So stinkin' sweet!

About to see the animals

Baby goats

Watching how cows are milked.

What a beautiful day for a carousel ride.

Riding the bear. If you look close, you can see Ella. Hannah is in there too.

Ella's rock star. That is what she calls her guitar.






By the way...I have no idea why the pics are getting so far apart.

Riding the ferris wheel. She wasn't afraid at all! She has NO FEAR! Lucky me!

I can't wait to take Ella back next year!
