Loving the Lake

We had a fabulous day at the lake with John, Lisa, Kayla and Sommer. We played ALL day long and stayed cool be relaxing in the lake. We went on the tube multiple times and it got pretty rough out there. It was such a great day and I'm glad we my family came too. Although some how my mom managed to not have a single picture taken of her. We are so, so glad Ashlyn and Kyle live here now it has been really fun:)

How many grapes do you think I can get in my mouth mon?

James broke his hand so we wrapped up his hand so he could hang out in the lake with us.

We all went tubing and have minor injuries to show for it. Ella even took a turn:) She loved it.

The crazy things Ella does in her crib

We really need to record Ella while she sleeps because you never know where she is going to end up, and she for sure won't be in the same place where I laid her at bed time. The other night we go in there and she got her arm through the head hole of her pajama's. How she did that I will never know. Then when I was working yesterday Stewart put her down for her nap and he went in because she was talking, not sleeping and she was sitting up, again we don't know how it happened. The first picture usually happens on a regular basis, she always sleeps with her legs on her music thing. But this doesn't show the half of it, she is so crazy when she sleeps. It is really funny to see what she will do next. She can even find her binki when she is sleeping, which we have actually seen. Very funny. We just put like 6 in her bed so if she just moves her hand around she is bound to find one. She is getting so much better at her little army scoot, slowly but surely she will get to what she wants. Also, all she wants to do all day is walk around with us holding her hands, or she will try and pull herself up on us or anything around. She has yet to master the pulling herself to standing but tries really hard and gets really frustrated when she can't do it. So we stand her up and she feels better. She will be crawling and walking before I know it...... scary!

The funny things Miss Ella says

Stewart and I were trying to decide what to do with Ella so we were spelling out words. We talked about going to the p-a-r-k! We didn't even think she was paying attention. In the car she says, " I want to go to the p-r-ck and play." I don't even know how she knew what we were spelling. A few letter off but that is pretty good:)

We asked Ella if she wanted to go get ice cream after the park and she said, " I want strawberry ice cream with sprinklers."

We were shopping and I said to Ella, "you are a monkey," and she looked at me and said.... " I not a monkey I a child of God!"

Stewart and I are getting new phones in a few days. Yesterday I said to him, "guess what we get in just a few more days?", and Ella says to me (very excited) "PRESENTS."

The other night I was getting Ella ready for bed. I was brushing Ella's teeth in the bathroom and she was acting really silly so I called her a tool. She says to me, " no, I a hammer:)"

Ella's fav pastime is reading books. My Mom got her a book about the Nativity. We were reading it and she was pointing everyone out. She then pointed to one of the wise men with a white beard and said, "this king Triton." (The little mermaid)
