Let it Snow

I'm sure everyone had so much fun in the snow. We did as well. I really wish it would snow like that once every year. Or at least every other year. I am glad it does not snow all the time, and since it doesn't, it is a unique thing which makes it so exciting and brings out the kid in all of us. If it would snow at least every other year, it would still be unique and we would get to have those experiences every now and then. For instance, I hope we have another snow like this one next year or the next so Ellis Ann can play in it. Anyways.............

we DID act like we were 12. We had great snow ball fights and we got an old knee board and pulled it behind the four wheeler.

this is my precious little niece Ellie with me and Ellis Ann. Ellie and her mom had just built a snow man and Ellie stood still for just a second before she started running in circles again. :)

(sorry the pictures are side ways)
Ellis Ann seemed to like the snow. She was trying to eat what was on her face. She took some really good pictures, but then got tired of it and we had to go in. But I LOVE this one of her with a big smile on her face.

Ellis Ann is playing with Papa. They do this a lot. Papa calls it skydiving because she usually has her legs stretched up and her arms back and it looks like she is skydiving. She doesn't spit up very often, but it would be quite funny if she decided to spit up at this time. :)
Ellis Ann slept in her crib for the first night last night. She naps in it all the time, but I still like her sleeping in the cradle next to our bed at night for selfish reasons. But last night, kinda on accident (i thought we were going to take a cat nap and she went out for good) she went to bed in the crib. She woke up around 12:00 as usual and went and got her and just brought her into our room. (It's just easier)

Have a great week everyone!

The most special thing in the world!

When you come home from work...pick up your daughter and she stares at you for 10 min with a goofy grin the whole time. You just can't beat that. Of course, she doesn't do this every day. Some days she is not as happy as others, and that's ok. But every now and then I get non-stop grins and there's nothing imaginable that is better.

Ok...Here we go :)

No more excuses....I finally got a chord to upload my pictures from my camera to the computer. I am posting a ton of pictures to make up for lost time.

They are in no particular order because they didn't really upload in the order that I wanted them to.




I like her when she is awake, but she just looks so darn cute when she is sleeping...like an angel:)

When i got home from work one day this week, my mom (MooMoo) had her in the stroller and she was all bundled up and sound asleep.









She is beginning to look like a little person.

















These are some of my favorite.....one picture she looks like she is praying and one picture she looks like she is drunk or something. Cracks me up!

















She LOVES the mobile in her crib.















More sleeping. She is in her swing. She really like that too...and it is a life saver!!




















We had her baby dedication last Sunday. She did AWESOME!! She was awake and happy the whole time. She even gave her Uncle Brantley a couple smiles right before we went to the front of the church.









A little cock-eyed....she loves sitting up and looking around.
























She has started sucking her bottom lip. It is hilarious. It makes her look like she has no chin














And her mouth is constantly moving. When she starts takling we are going to be in trouble. You can tell she wants to say something but nothing comes out.












Studying her hands. She is so intent.






























Playing with Daddy.





























Smiling for Moo Moo and Papa.














In her little bunny towel. She has gotten where she loves her bath.










Her smiles are awesome, but they are hard to catch on camera because my camera is so delayed.

What a Yawn!

This picture is from another basketball game...Ellis Ann got tired and took a little nap while we were there. How she can sleep through all that noise I don't know.



We had her baby dedication this past Sunday and she did so good. She was awake and happy. When went up to the front of the chuch she was kinda in a daze and looked really tired but i think she was just taking it all in.

Oh the joys of parenthood:
This morning Ellis Ann was on our bed playing with her activity gym thingy. Which is what she does every morning while i'm getting ready. I love to watch her eyes light up as she hits the toys that are dangling in front of her. Well Ellis Ann doesn't spit up hardly every, we are very fortunate. But this morning I looked over and to my surprise there was a fountain...literally coming from her mouth. I rushed to her and turned her on her side, but wow what a mess. She literally threw up half the milk she just drank. Poor thing. It was all in her hair, on her clothes, and on our bed. Well I hollered at Bradfield to come help me bc it was about time to go. I asked him to take our duvet cover off and throw it in teh washing machine and we got Ellis Ann cleaned up. We were both about to walk out the door and Bradfield couldn't find his phone. He used mine, called himself, and for about 15 min walked around the house looking for his phone. He was about to lose his mind with frustration, went outside to look, once again, in his car, and i decided to check out the washing machine. I pulled up the comforter cover from under the water and i see lights and a black square thing. Yes, his phone was iin the washing machine. He wasn't happy. things happen. that's life:)

Hope everyone has a great week!
