Weekend fun

How Ellie looks after her nap-pre-pony.

A couple of cuties came to play this weekend.

They had fun in the old sand box.

Ellie was so happy watching the kids play.

She finally tried the sand, ate a little,

then climbed in.

Sunday painting fall pumpkins,

and the finished products.

Harper and Josie put on an owl puppet show, Josie chose a Taylor Swift song, so cute!

 

Cousin play time

Laury and David brought Hattie and Brentley over to play with Ellie last Friday.

Ellie was fascinated by everything the big girls were doing.

 

First day Senior year

Monday was Harper and Ava's first day of Senior year at Camas High School.

And Rielee's at Boise State, she'll graduate in December.

This picture is taken in front of Macee and Craig's house.  Rielee's housing

fell through so she's living in their ADU.

 

Senior year begins, Ellie's recovery

Seniors can purchase and paint a parking spot.

ASB cards

Ellie was back to her normal, happy self yesterday. A few of her blisters from hand, foot and mouth disease are still healing, but the worst is over.

This was on Tuesday, she smiled but was feeling rough.

It started on the 14th with a fever.  The blisters on the top of her toes made crawling painful, and the ones of the bottom of her feet made standing and trying to walk hurt, too.

 

Fun with Josie and Hattie

We saw lots of Josie and Hattie last week when they stayed with Grandma and Papa,

They love the big swing.

and wanted lots of twisters.

 

Ellie's first birthday

Ellie is one year old!

They had a big party with a bounce house, great food, and lots of 

friends and family who came to celebrate Ellie.

The play fort saw lots of activity with all the kids.

Ellie walked around with Dad,

posed with Gigi and Dad,

met babies Rhett and Poppy (she was in the stroller),

visited with Great-Grannie Denice,

played with cousin Wrennie,

opened presents,

and tried some cake, she was hesitant at first, then

took big bites of frosting!

Mom giving her some of the cake.

Such a fun party!

Brentley and Hattie, I love Hattie's shirt!

Wrennie playing before the party.

Josie really loved the cute pony balloons.

 

Ellie pics

Papa needed lots of toys to entertain Ellie last week as she was teething again.

She still had some smiles though!

That dry old grass was too much for her knees.

She discovered the kitchen and went right to work.

Love her little legionnaire hat!
