Brooklyn--9 Months

It's hard to believe Brooklyn is already 9 months! She is such a sweetheart! She has finally outgrown the rash that she had on her head that itched her badly so she can now start wearing headbands:) Ella was very different at this age...she was very dainty while playing, usually taking out one toy at a time and being very gentle with it. Brooklyn on the other hand is CRAZY! She's into everything and is constantly wondering off into the other room to discover new stuff:) She has recenlty figured out how the toilet paper roll works if you pull it! She is almost walking, she pulls herself up on anything she can find (even the walls) and walks around the entire house! She will be walking very soon and getting into even more trouble, I'm sure.

Dance Recital

Ella had her dance recital in June. She walked on stage, then turned around and walked right back off! She was NOT having that! We were surprised she even walked out:) Maybe next year.

Carnival Prize

Ella named him Bubbly Bubble

Dance Pictures

Ella's dance recital is coming up...her class had dance pictures taken together. In a room full of moms and little girls oohhhing and aahhing, Ella refused to go up by herself to take a picture! She was too shy and broke down in tears, can't wait to see what the actual recital brings!!!! She let me take this picture after we left.

Ella's Last Day of Preschool

Ella graduated from her preschool class last week. She had such a great year, we are so proud of her! She is still shy as ever as you can see in these pictures but she has come a long way this year with it. This was her end of year program...she walked in crying and wouldn't go up on stage unless her teacher came with her. At least she went though, we're making progress!

Fisher's Dedication

Chris, Becca and Fisher came to town a few weeks ago. It was a big weekend for them...Mother's Day, Becca's 30th birthday and Fisher's dedication! The girls unfortunately were both sick with croup so we were busy taking care of them and were horrible about keeping up with taking pictures:( It was a fun weekend though!

Beginning of Summer...girls are having a blast!

Josh went shopping and bought a few matching swimsuits for the girls:) More pictures to come, the green one has been the favorite of the moment.

I sent Josh for a baby blow up pool...this is what he comes back with! My brother said I should have sent him for a bucket and then maybe he'd bring back a baby pool. My dad asked if is came with a dock:)


Ella is a wonderful big sister, she loves hanging out with Brooklyn
