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

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!

Christmas 2008

The Williams' Family Christmas (my dad's family)

We don't get to see them very often so we had a great time seeing everyone.

Throughout the Christmases, I will rate the top 4 biggest toys Ella received this year and they were BIG! We had to clean out her old toys to make room for the new ones. We filled 3 trash bags full of toys were are going to give away. My kid is so spoiled!

Christmas Eve with the Rawls' Family

Ella and Hannah. They were so excited!

New jump rope

Her princess bed. She LOVES it! This would be the # 4 biggest toy so far.

She loved all her new toys. Thanks MeMe, PawPaw, Krystal, Ben, and the girls.







Christmas Morning!

So far this Christmas tops the cake! Ella totally understood everything that was going on, and couldn't wait for Santa to drop off her toys. The look on her face was priceless when she saw the kitchen that Santa left her. She was instantly in love! And we got every single bit of it on video.

She had some WILD hair that morning too!

Her new kitchen. The # 2 biggest toy.

All she ate for breakfast that morning was Hershey Kisses. I couldn't say no.

Cupcakes for her kitchen.

Ella and Daniel

Me and Ella. Just look that that sweet expression on that angel face!

Hugging her baby.

Playing with her dress up clothes. They were a big hit!

She didn't want to take them off.

The #3 biggest toy. I know...I put them out of order.

My sweet wild haired girl under the tree. The best gift of all!

Playing so sweet.






















Christmas with my parents and The Barron's

(my mom's family)

Just hanging out.

Us on Christmas.

The new doll house. This would be the #1 biggest toy. It's about a foot taller than her, but she loves it. Thanks BeBe and Grandpa.

We had the most wonderful Christmas we could have ever asked for. Again, we are so blessed!
