Ella can work on pictures just like mommy...

Ella has been able to climb into my desk chair for awhile now and I'll walk in there to find her trying to "work" on my laptop. :-)

Party Time

We went to birthday party for one of our friends last weekend. It was fun, but c r a z y with all the kids (8 total under the age of 6)! :-)

Storytime with Mr. Keith:

I know I've been a bad blogger lately, but we've had the sickies at our house which has left us no time for pictures. I'll try to be better next week. :-)

Loving this weather!

Hasn't this weather been fantastic? It's almost like Alabama is having a little bit of fall! We've been trying to take advantage of the cooler temps and spend lots of time outdoors...one of Ella's favorite things to do.

Cutie Patootie

I thought Ella just looked so cute and like such a big girl this morning that I had to take her picture. Shocker right!?!?! :-)

This morning I wanted to really take advantage of my Mother's Day Out time and get caught up on some scrapbooking. I worked really hard on a page about all the things I love about Ella...for about 2 hours. Then all of a sudden my computer froze and restarted on me. Good thing I've had that happen before and learned my lesson about periodically saving right?? WRONG! I did not save it so therefore lost 2 hours of work...just like that! You'd think I would know better. So basically I'm just venting about it and sharing to remind everyone who digiscraps to save every 2 seconds! :-)

Ella's new friend

We had some friends over Saturday night and Ella just really hit it off with their son Grey. They just played so well together and had a great time. The cutest thing (which of course I didn't get a picture of) was that Ella would sit in her little baby stroller and he would push her around. A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E! At the end of the night, Ella and Grey gave each other bye-bye sugars and Grey kept saying "I want to say bye to Ella one more time." His parents told us that before they even pulled out of the driveway, he said "I miss Ella." So sweet :-)

Playing house outside:

Sharing their bread:

Reading together:

And a big 'ole smooch:

Ella Dancing

There's a commerical that comes on with Maroon 5 playing in the background. Ella LOVES it! I mean drops everything to watch it and dance. Pretty cute... (sorry the video is such bad quality)

Catching Up

Here's some pictures off of my Kodak that Keith or I have taken in the past couple of weeks:

When Ella "talks" on her phone now, she likes to prop it between her ear and shoulder and multi-task just like mommy...so adorable:

The men in our Sunday School class had a playdate Saturday morning which went wonderfully! All the kids came home with their appropriate parent and no child was left behind. ;-) I sent Keith with the camera to document that special day. Ella left with a bow in her hair and she returned that way! Wow! That's better than I do most of the time!

On Sunday we ate lunch at the food court with the Sunday School class (well it was actually just the Johnsons, the Taylors, and us) and then let Ella ride on the carousel with Grey (her new buddy). She got to sit on a horse by herself (almost unasissted) and she felt very grown. So much so that she did not want to get off!
