Ella's party

Uncle Joe

Uncle Travis. Ella loves to rip up paper. She is so serious:)

Aunt Jody and Cousin Coy

Grandma gave Ella a toy kitten, she loved it.
Alex had fun on the trycicle untel he fell of the edge of the deck :( he was ok

Ella's Party was very nice we had many people show up to celebrate. The day turned out to be a really pretty day, so people were able to go out side and it was not so crowded inside. Ella loved all the attention and was smiling most of the time. Lots of people held her and we let her crawl around. Her cradle care family got to come. It was good to see them. They were excited to get to see Ella. The last time they saw her was when she was 12 days old. She let them hold her and was very cute. They gave us a plaque that says-Family The Greatest Gift I Ever Received. That is so true for us. We are so happy and feel very blessed to have a wonderful family and great friend who love us and support and encourage us. Thanks to everyone.

Ella is crawling!

Ella started crawling on April 30. Eddie, Jacob, David and I had all guessed a day that we thought she would crawl and whoever got the day or the closest to it would get to take Ella out for ice cream. Jacob won! So of course we all had to go out :) Jacob didn't think that was fair . He thinks we need to let him and Ella go by themselves to get ice cream. I am suppose to just drop them off at the store and leave my cell phone , just in case he would need to call me. I am then to go shopping or something until they are done. These are Jacobs orders. We shall see.
We are celebrating Ella's adoption being final this weekend. It is not suppose to be a very warm day:( I was hoping for good weather so kids could be outside. Thanks to all who answered my invite. It's great to hear from all of you. I have been feeling a little sentimental lately and have been missing everyone. I am hoping to see some of you this summer.
I will try once again to get a video up and running soon. Talk at you later.
