18 Months

Ellie is 18 months old! Of course I'm late on this post and these are really random pictures that I took one afternoon after Ellie's nap, but super cute! She insisted on having all her babies in the bed with her. Such a little mommy.

Love these blue eyes!

Putting her babies night night.

Muah! Ellie loves to give sugars (kisses)!

What a joy our little girl has been! She is full of personality these days...some good, some sassy. She talks all the time and smiles all day. And our hearts just about melt when she says, "Hold you, Mommy" and "Hold you, Daddy".

Ellie's likes: dancing, reading books, going to the pool, Dora, popsicles

Ellie's dislikes: vegetables, going to bed, being tackled by her brother

I feel like before I know it, it will be 18 years. Time seems to be flying by. I'm trying to slow down and enjoy every moment, even the hard ones!

Happy 18 months Ellie! We love you!!

Science Place with the Cousins!

We made a little trip home last week for some family time! Hudson and Ellie did not want to let their cousins out of their sight! Lots of playing and laughing!

Ready to go!

The Dino Dig was a hit!!

Let's go get that fire Ellie!

Water table time!

I have so many fun pictures, but my finicky computer only allows four at a time. Sheesh. Anyway, thanks Mimi and Paw-Paw for letting us come stay while Dusty was away! We loved it!

Little Firecracker

Ellie is the sweetest thing, really. I mean, look at this face!

But don't be fooled, she's got a whole other side...

S.A.S.S.Y.

I don't know where she gets it.

4th of July Fun!

After the lake, cook-out and the All-American afternoon nap, we decided to brave the heat and head to Cedar Park's 4th of July Celebration (minus fireworks). Bouncehouses, slides, trains, playground, music, food...very fun! The kids loved it and we felt very "hometown"!

Will they ever look at the camera??

Ellie was a big, brave girl and went down the big slide with Daddy!

Hudson is always up for a train ride!

And after a VERY long, fun-filled day, we headed home!

Happy 4th of July!!

Tubin'

Hudson's first time on the lake!

Tubing with Daddy!

Serious business.

I wish you could see his face...priceless! He loved every minute and Dusty said every time they hit a bump, Hudson laughed hysterically!

Such a fun way to start the 4th of July!!
