The Big Debut!

I know you have all been waiting patiently to see some pictures of the twins and now that I successfully stole some of my parents (our camera had a melt down), we can finally show them off! So, it is with great pleasure, I introduce to you our new niece and nephew.

Doing what they do best, acting like 2 peas in a pod!

The whole family is doing well with lots of help from the Grandma's and Grandpa's!

A few more Birthday shots!

Matching Mom and Babe

Without realizing it, one day I dressed myself up like Ellyanna. Nate caught it on camera as we imitated each other playing on the floor.

Too funny not to post.

Ok we all know how much Nate loves Corona right? Well it looks as though Ellyanna does too! We are not promoting under age drinking at all but look how excited she got with the bottle in front of her, too funny!





We are going to have to keep an eye one this one when she gets older!

Ellyanna turns 1

So I was hoping to get some pictures from others before I blogged about Ellyanna's birthday as we only have a couple and they aren't great but.... here we are the 1st of October and still no pics. So here are the ones we do have.


We had a great afternoon out in the back yard and at the park behind our house. All but three of Ellyanna's cousins were able to make it down for her big day! She was very excited to see everyone.



Silas was loving the slide that day.



Grace was practicing her big sister skills pushing Ellyanna.



Jonah and Oliver were sand slinging swingers that day!

I made my first attempt at doing something beyond just icing for Elly's cupcakes. I wanted it to be something that she would recognize so Elmo it was. But not because she watches Sesame Street, only because she has the doll. She just isn't into TV yet, and we aren't pushing it. It's only so long before she will control the remote!



Ellyanna did a pretty good job eating Elmo, it was her first time having cake and she seemed to like it.



Thanks to all who were able to make it down for the afternoon, it was great to get you all together in one place.
