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.

The RCMP Musical Ride
We have had a few members of our family join the RCMP over the years and the latest member from our family is Brent Dobinson. This year he became a member of the Musical ride so Ellyanna and about 25 other family members headed to the Centrium back in early August to take in the show.
Brent was pulled out at the beginning of the show and introduced to the crowd as a home town boy. It was a very proud moment.
Ellyanna was mesmerized. She sat still for almost the full hour and a half we were there. Apparently she is an animal lover!
All in all the show was spectacular, the leader of this group actually said it had been their best show all summer. I hadn't seen a show since I was a kid and I thought it was amazing. Way to go Brent!

Things Ellyanna Learned this Summer
To eat blueberries like a lady!
To laugh and play nicely with others.
To Karaoke.
To pool party like it's 1999!
That's right, even when there is no water in the pool!
To relax with friends...
How to get the dirtiest face. Ellyanna was really tired eating lunch one day and kept rubbing her eyes, hence the sauce all the way up to her forhead. But, the girl still turned it on for the camera even through all the fatique!
She also learned to walk but there aren't any photo's as we got it all on video. Video montage is Nate's responsibility so it should follow soon! Watch for it.

The Westerner Days Parade
The Westerner Days in Red Deer have begun and it kicked off with the parade Wednesday morning. We took our camera but on the way there realized the battery was at home charging. So thanks to Caryn we have a couple of pictures to share with you!
And the show begins...
Ellyanna is thinking really hard about why anyone would dress up like that! (Note the girls in orange jump suits in the back ground)
She was dancing to the BIG 105 music as they went by !
And during a lull in the show she made a break for it, she wanted to be her own show. Luckily we had her walking wings on and she couldn't get too far (there was horse poo in the middle of the road, no one needs to dance in that)!
