Flyin' High

Ella had a great time at her friend Cori's third birthday party! It was at My Gym, which Ella loves. Her best bud Zoe was there too. And it ended with a high flying surprise :)

Thanks Mimi for taking pictures!

Parachute time!

Watching Zoe come down the slide.

Made it to the top!

Ball pit!

Ella's favorite - bubbles! She had an awesome dance to go with it.

Zoe was not too excited about holding hands...

Zoe and Ella go "night-night"

Just barely can see over the counter!

Here's the surprise! A zipline. Zoe first...

Now Ella's turn!

Go Ella! She was so proud of herself when she finished :)

Ella brought back a ribbon from the pinata. Apparently the snacks were not very interesting...

Ballerina

Ella's new favorite accessory is her tutu. She asks for "more-more tutu!" She loves to dance and stand on her tiptoes and twirl :)

Twirling...

She always has something electronic in her hands. Here, she is giving herself a kiss on the flip video :)

Stolling with Aunt Barb

This past weekend Aunt Barb came to visit. We had a fun time stolling through Old Town and then hanging out at Nana's house ("Nana Ouse"). Plus, Mom got a very special treat on Saturday. She got to go to a movie with Aunt Barb, Nana and Mimi while Baba and Pappa took care of me. Hopefully I didn't cause them too much trouble!

Strolling.

Stopping to smell the flowers (shhh...they are fake...)

More strolling.

Feeding the ducks.

I hear an airplane!

Guys, didn't you see the sign that said "No Wading"!

Hanging out in Eli's home... (I promise we didn't put her in there! She loved to go in and close the door all by herself!)

Fun at Gym!

On Tuesdays, I've been going to gym with my Nana. I love it! Unfortunately, Nana picked up some toddler cooties last time we were there, and got very sick. So we haven't gone back in a while, but hope to start up again this Fall. Here are some pics from one day this summer. Enjoy!

Happy 60th G-Pop and Gigi!

This past weekend we celebrated Gigi and G-Pop's 60th anniversary! We had a big party and lots of people came. I got to see so many of my Aunts, Uncles and cousins. It was great! I had so many people to play with.

Gigi and G-Pop

The newlyweds!

I had so much fun with cousin Steve!

See how cool we are?

And cousin Mary is so much fun! She played fun games with me all weekend.

And I love my cousin Lindsay! And I love ice cream too...

I got to spend lots of time with Aunt Farrell -- and meet the newest addition to the family, Baby Eli! I'm a little obsessed with him.

Cousin Beth took me out to a great restaurant downtown. My favorite was the staircase in the middle of the restaurant. I walked up and down the stairs with Daddy the entire time we were there.

With G-Pop right before the ceremony.

Making sure Gigi is ready for the big day!

Checking on Baby Eli at the back of the church. I tried to give him my duckie and ba, but it didn't seem to help.

The girls!

Lindsay had these awesome toys called "crutches."

Ice. Yum!

Baby "Eyi"

Checking on the guys.

Helping Mimi clear away the bottles.

Carrying away the empties. I was a big help!

Chatting with Baby Eli after my bath.

Thanks for the cake Aunt Farrell!

More-more cake?

Chillin' with the girls and watching Elmo after a long night.

Holding Baby Eli's hand.

Happy Weekend!

It's been really busy - but we do find some time to relax :)

Some pre-bedtime coloring.

Off to bed! Night-night!

Multi-Tasking

This is a little old...but here's a video of Ella on 4th of July multi-tasking -- i.e., on the phone and dancing!
