Wowserz! This little girl is pure SUNSHINE!! And her little squinty eyed smiley face is one of my favorite things in the world!! She flashes this for us all the time, but especially when she says "bite?" (to get our food) or "Mmmmm" (when she wants a kiss) or "Mamma, Daddeee". She absolutely adores everything Lily does and if she can't see her she will walk around the house calling "Yeh-yeh" (her name for Lily) until she finds her.
These Eyes, oh how sweet she is. And I LOVE how white blonde Ella's hair is getting, I think she will be a toehead just like her Daddy was.
Getting the last bit of cold sweetness from that little wooden stick
Notice how in these pictures Ella is doing exactly what Lily is... Now I know the saying is true, Monkey SEE, Monkey DO. Lily is pretty good most of the time to let Ella tag along after her.
I love seeing all the way the minutes are filled up in a day. Everything with kids is not quick, or easy, but an event. So simple things that are normally looked over, are filled out and stretched to their limits to get all the fun out. That is one thing I get to enjoy as a mommy, finding the new and exciting in the everyday.
Silly Fish Faces after Bunco
Iceberg Shakes for all the July Birthday Girls
Seeing the Proposal for a GN, SOOooooooo Funny! I don't know what I would do without seeing all these ladies' faces every once in a while, seriously they ROCK!
Such a fun birthday with my family in town this year. We did a girl's lunch with all the girl cousins and aunts on my mom's side at Carrabbas (YUM). Then went to dinner at P.F. Changs with my parents and Chad. Went to Oquuirh mountain temple and Leatherby's, Iceberg with friends, Kristi brought cafe rio lunch, got loaf pans, socks, new sunglasses, and chocolate cinnam0n bears (What a Great Birthday week!!!).
My AWESOME Aunt Katie sent the girls these ADORABLE matching Green/White Polka Dot Gymboree dresses. I LOVE, love, LoVe them and have taken some really cute pictures of the girls in them.
When we were in Flagstaff for the Fourth of July, my mom and I took the girls downtown for the parade. It was great because we got a perfect spot right along the street and Lily rocked her tutu and they got a TON of candy and free stuff!
Ella wanted to do this all day, walk with someone holding her hands. After we got home from this trip she started walking on her own, I guess she got all the practice she needed.

Waiting for the parade we got some Chick-O-Stix at a cute little toy/candy shop downtown.
