She did it!!!!

Ella rolled over last night! I was sitting right next to her and she bumped me... I looked at my dad (who had big eyes) and said "did she just roll over?" He said YES! He witnessed her first roll. Yeah sissy!

So she rolled from her tummy to her back...... then my brother said "has she ever rolled from her back to her belly?" I told him she can get real close but hasn't done it yet. He then proceeded to tell me " she just did"! Silly girl, mommy didn't get to see either of the first rolls!

She rolled both ways and her momma couldn't have been more proud!

looking at her crazy momma who was going crazy!

celebrating by playing with toes!

Just hanging out....

Haven't been up to much.... just hanging out! Here are the pictures to tell the story.

This is their favorite spot when mommy is working in the kitchen.

Nothing like love....

My little man has discovered wearing sunglasses on his eyes instead of around his neck. He decided he wanted to be like daddy one day and daddy was wearing his glasses on his eyes.

Pictures...Pictures....Pictures

Ella's first time in the jumperoo! She loved it! Her big brother Gabe was telling her all about it. He loved helping her jump.

Getting the jumperoo back out brought back some memories of last summer..... after Gabe came home from Riley he couldn't walk, bc he had laid in a bed for 3 and half weeks, so we thought we would get the jumperoo back out for him. He loved it and it was definately an aid in getting his leg strength built back up!

Gabe helping Ella figure things out.

Ella loving her new toy.

Gabe helped us do some things to get ready for his party throughout last week. Here are some pictures to document his helping hand. By the way his favorite saying right now is "myself". So he wanted no help in doing anything.

Helping me mix up his cupcakes.

Helping daddy paint the puppet show box.

Ella being an observer.

Paint time.

SIDE NOTE: funny story to explain the next three pics. Gabe and Andre were playing ball. So the ball lands in the cupcake icing! Gabe thought it was great... He then wanted daddy to like off the ball.... he then realizex the icing is good and licks it himself.

Testing out the finished product.

Puppet Show

Birthday Party!

We really enjoyed our time with family and friends Sunday evening. The rain held off for us just a bit. We were able to eat outside... then came inside for the puppet show production! I was excited to see the kiddos enjoy Andre and Taryn(Joshs girlfriend) being silly.
