Hair

Ella is starting to get more and more hair. We took these after her bath this morning! Her hair seems to have some curl to it we shall see if it lasts! If you make the first picture bigger and zoom in on it you can see her teeth!

She is eating her hands because this is what she does after I put lotion all over her she licks it off! It can't taste that good but she does it every day she eventually tries to get it off her arms too!

Couldn't resist taking one more once she was dressed!




These I took the other day because I loved how the sunlight was coming through the window onto her hair! It made it look really red!




This is her favorite spot to sit! Every picture I have taken lately she has been there!

60th Wedding Anniversary

On the 15th my grandparents celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary! Last weekend my mom's family had a party for them in their honor! Even though we weren't there I still wanted to post it so it can be in my blog book when I print it because it is such an amazing milestone! It looks like they had a great time! Wish we could of been there I miss my grandma's hugs and teasing my grandpa nonstop! Love you guys!

All my cousins and spouses and one of the four great grand kids! Those who weren't there was us, my brother Jared and his wife Celyn, and my niece Jocelyn who live in Texas, my cousin Brent and his wife Emily who live in London, and my cousin Jennifer who lives in Atlanta!

I am guessing they had peach pie since this is what my sister put on her blog! My grandma makes the best pies! I really want some!

10 Months!

Our Ella Bella turned 10 months old today! I cannot believe she will be 1 in only two short months! She is such a joy in our lives and makes us laugh everyday! She is very hard to get a picture of as well! Her new favorite thing is standing to everything! She especially loves the windows in our new house because they are less then a foot off the ground so she can look outside all day long and splutter to herself about it!

She thought it was pretty funny that I couldn't get her picture!

She loves her dad so much she lights up when he walks in the door at night and won't come back to me after he gets home!

She also will not stay out of the kitchen she prefers it over anything! She loves to go and check herself out in the oven! I trick her to get her to come back to her toys with my phone, works like a charm! She will eventually catch on when she continues to not get the phone when she comes back!

She must have just woke up from her nap when I took these she has major bed head!

Pampering Party

Wednesday night we had a surprise pampering party for two girls who are having babies in the next few weeks! It was a lot of fun, we didn't start until 8:30 so all kids were in bed and husbands were studying! We all came in our pajamas and enjoyed foot scrubs, nail painting, facials, good food, friends, and ten minute massages by one of the massage therapists in our group! There was a movie on in the background which no one watched! It was such a fun night and before we knew it, it was after midnight!

Ashley enjoying her massage, we surprised her really well!

Happenings

We have been busy lately doing lots of fun things and moving (not as much fun)! These are in no particular order...

She is cracking herself up. She had just thrown up all her dinner, wish I was that happy after I threw up! We decided she throws up when she has a tooth coming in.
The Saturday before Labor Day we drove down to Jackson, MS for the day. Andrew had seen this place on the Travel Channel as having the best Gyros so we went down and ate and found some outlets to browse. He loved his food, I had a chicken gyro and it was amazing! I would recommend it if you are ever in Jackson.

We went to the Zoo again with some friends! Ella is starting to notice the animals more and had plenty to splutter about as we walked around.

I made this chicken dish a few weeks ago. I took the picture for my mom to show her I eat my veggies :) It was really good, it had 9 or 10 different fresh vegetables in it and made enough Andrew took it for lunch for two days! We also made this yummy bread sticks to go with it!

Just a picture of Ella she prefers to sleep on top of her blankets.

A few weeks ago we went to Jones Orchard to pick peaches. It was so hot but we had some fun picking.

She really was only happy when we took this picture she just wanted out of the stroller!
The peaches were so good and we ended up with 7 quarts and 7 pints after they were canned!

Labor Day at the Lake

We spent Labor Day at Lake Sardis with some friends! We wading and played in the lake and sand and followed it up by grilling some yummy burgers! Most everyone went back to the lake after but we left so Ella could have a nap! It was perfect weather!

The wind was blowing

She was just thrilled to be there. She thought it was the ocean again, she eventually warmed up to it!
