OK, so it has been over a month since I have posted anything and longer since I posted any pictures of us. So you're in for a long haul if you plan to read this entire thing. I still can't get over how many pictures I take and still miss important things. We have been busy here and there and enjoying the beautiful Arizona Spring weather. Ella is getting so big...talking like mad and giving her opinion about everything...so much now that she stutters because she wants to spit it all out too fast. We are s-l-o-w-l-y working on potty training but I am still avoiding it until I am on break....This post seriously casts over a months worth of time starting with the most recent events...here goes nothing!
Travis' 31st b-day was this past Wednesday. We had all the family over for dinner and cake and Travis got a Wii and all the accessories from all of us. I don't know what I am getting myself into by buying him a game system (his first since his Sega). I have been quite lucky in that aspect but I figured the Wii will entertain all of us.
The family...boy, do I look tired and the party hadn't even started yet :( Teaching has been killing me these days...we all have "end-of-the-year fever"
Ella and Daddy
Ella had her friend Brooklyn over the other night while their dads watched the UFC fights.
Brookly Joy Stephenson...almost one-year old.
Ella got this princess set from one of the many Easter Bunny visits.
Playing at Uncle Ray's on Easter afternoon.
Jumping rope with cousins (mommy's cousins) Kyleigh and Amanda.
She was pretty good at twirling the rope.
Uncle Cody giving Ella a ride on the big puppy - it reminded me of the big mythical dog on "The Neverending Story"
All dressed up for Easter but refusing to give me a look.
Hunting for Easter eggs in the backyard...in her raggamuffin jammies.
Look mom, the Easter bunny sure didn't make these hard to find...
Yeah, the Easter bunny brought me "Bolt"!
Ooooh, I love the Easter bunny!
She cleans up her messes....
The Easter bunny brings all these wonderful things and all they want to play with is the grass.
Ella's new favorite thing...MONEY!
Her first of three Easter Bunny baskets....this one came from Mimi and Papa the night before....just to spread out the love!
One cold, rainy morning...a great opportunity to wear the very unnecessary, but too cute, raincoat and umbrella Mimi bought for Ella.
I guess Ella's puppy was thirsty...
Wild woman....
Too cool for words...
Pretty girl...
Ella playing catch with Kyleigh...
Four generations...Mom, Grandma, Ella, and Me
My cousins Amanda and Joe....Joe was in town from NY for Spring Break
Aunt Donna, Ella, and Joe shopping at SanTan Villiage
One day during Spring Break we played at the pool at The Pointe Tapatio with the whole family...thanks Mary (my mother-in-law)!
Ella and Daddy
Spring Break play-date at Jenn's with all the teacher and former-teacher's kiddos.
Playing in the bubbles...

Ok, so do you think we need a bike seat for Ella????

All ready to go outside and play...
Ella got to my mom's lipstick...just beautiful!
Ok, that's all....thanks for reading! I hope to post more often, especially once school is out :)
