Over the last few months I've done a few random sewing projects.
Here are some pics:
I also made her "Scary Monster" costume. See the pics below!

Halloween!!!
Ellie was a "scary monster" for Halloween because she makes a great growl/roar "raghhh" when you ask her "what does a scary monster say?"
Our church does a great "Trunk or Treat" ministry that we went to. Ellie's favorite thing was a toddler size bounce house that she got to play in. It was so busy and crazy there that we forgot to take any pictures! Oh well - at least we got some before we left the house!
Walking across the street with Grammie to get a treat! She was afraid of our neighbor at first - she thought we were leaving her with him! She warmed up when he gave her candy though....I guess there's a reason we teach kids not to take candy from strangers!!!!
Caitlyn (SuperGirl) and Ellie.
Ben (The Mad Hatter), Scary Monster, and Jon (Edward the Vampire)

First Birthday!
For Ellie's first birthday, we went to the Ruffino's ranch. They have a really cool place with lots of animals and most importantly (in a Texas August) a POOL!!!
The kids had a great time swimming before, during and after dinner!
Emma
Annabelle
Ethan and Uncle Josh
Opening presents! She was pretty good at ripping through the paper. (Naturally, she loves making a mess)
Daddy trying to get Ellie's new doll out of the box. Why do they have to make it so difficult?!?!?!
A talking book. Definitely one of the hit presents! (Thanks Bobbie and PawPaw Kell!)
The Birthday Girl
Aunt Anna made custom overalls for Ellie's birthday. They are so cute! The little girl on the front is Anna's original character, Zuzu.
Still carrying the talking book....
Kisses for Gramma V!
Birthday Cupcakes!!!! I made yellow cupcakes with seriously chocolate frosting and hot pink sprinkles - they were delicious! I got the recipe from the book "Cupcakes from The Cake Mix Doctor" They were called "The Best Birthday Cupcakes" - and they were!
Who needs hands?
slowly making progress....
She totally devoured the cupcake (and we gave her another one - a Pink Lemonade cupcake) and she hasn't had another cupcake since!

It's been way too long....
So much has happened since my last post! The summer was so busy I never got a chance to post anything new. We took so many pictures, but I'll try to get some of them on here.
Here's a slideshow of Ellie's birthday celebration at Mimi and PaPa's house before they moved to NJ (we miss you!!!)

Ellie's First Art Project!
Ellie made her first cards for Mother's day!
I drew a black body in the center of a piece of cardstock, then I folded half the paper back and taped it to her highchair. I put two dollops of tempera paint on the paper and let her smear it around to make the butterfly wings.
I don't know why, but I didn't take any pictures of the finished projects! I'll try to track them down and get a picture. They were so cute and she had a blast making a mess.
I just hope she didn't eat too much paint!

Miscellaneous
Here are some random pictures from the last few months:
My blow-dryer is one of Ellie's favorite things to chew on....a cord and a huge tag! What could be better?!?!
This was Ellie's first bath without her bath ring. She had figured out how to get out of it, so I decided it was pretty useless now.
We don't usually let her crawl on the kitchen floor, so she's very excited when she gets to be in there!

Easter
on Easter Sunday, we went to Mimi and PaPa's house for lunch after church.
We hid eggs for Caitlyn to find, and in the evening a friend of Melissa's came over with her 11 month old. The Babies had fun shaking the eggs that had candy in them.

Texoma
A while back, we went to Lake Texoma for the weekend. My grandfather had a suite out there and my mom and brothers were there.
We went hiking around a little bit. I have no idea what lake that is!
Daddy, Mama, and Ellie

Ellie eating a rock....of course
Ellie STILL eating a rock...(should we have taken that away from her?) =)
