Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all.

This is Ella's Card to all. Hope all is well and have a safe Holiday. We look forward to seeing everyone!

Itsy Bitsy Spider

This is one of Ella's favorite songs. She loves to do the actions. She has many more favorites and as we get them on film we will share them.

Christmas Time!

Ella was helping set up the tree with Mommy and Daddy. She is looking forward to Christmas this year.

The twinkle in the lights caught her eye.

Such concentration.

And of course the first ones she did all ended up on one spot of the tree.

Fun

Ella likes to play in boxes. Here are a couple of her playing around.

It is back again, Ella's cute little famous giggle. Brightens up her Daddy's Day! Anytime you are feeling down or whatever, jsut come back here and listen to this little one make your day.

First Haircut

Ella is growing up so fast. Last night she got her first "haircut". It was more of just a trim to straighten things out but hair was cut just the same. She did excellent. I got my hair cut right before hers so she knew what was going on. Karen, our hairdresser, was awsome. She had some toys for her to play with and didn't push any issue with Ella that she didn't want. She did fill her up with Tootsie Rolls so by the end of things, Ella was getting a little sugar rush and squirming. All and all a good time. Next time she might let Karen curl it for her.

Going for the bangs.

Smiley!

All done!

Happy Thanksgiving

Here is to all friends and family. Hope you have a safe and happy holiday. This is a little special note from Ella that she made at daycare.

Halloween at Scott and Julie's

We headed over to our friends Scott and Julie's house and spent some time for Halloween and took a couple of pictures and a movie. This is a birthday card that Ryne, their son, got for his birthday but Ella loves the card. This is her dancing to it.

Halloween

Here are some pictures from the night of Halloween. Ella was a little Bubmble Bee. Seemed to be a huge theme this year as everyone was dressing up as one or their dogs. For those of you that know me I always have called Ella my little Ella "B" She likes it and i think it fits her. She got lots of candy from our friends and special treats from them too. I think the candy was more for us. :) Anyway, thougt I would share the fun picks with ya. Love to all.

Betty is Tera's dog and she was dressed up like Ella as well.

Ella was getting a little done with it by now.

Here is the end result of a pumpkin that Ella started helping me with and then had to go to bed. We were not thinking and did not get the camera while she was cleaning out the inside but she did clean a lot of the guts out. She was pretty cute. Our hands were a mess though so that is why we forgot the camera.

EllaB Dancing

Aunt Jen and Angie better get your dancing shoes ready to show Ella the correct moves.

EllaB Playing Drums

Ella was having fun on her daddy's drums. She is getting pretty good I think. We are going to have to get some more instruments pretty soon.

Spegettios

Usually Ella is a neat eater and does not get her face full of food but for some reason she decided to be a kid. I couldn't pass up on the opportunity to get some pictures. She was sure in a good mood.

EllaB Chatting

Ella Decided to be cute and chatty. Cute little video of her.

Some fun stuff

Well, I have been meaning to put some stuff up here for everyone to see. There has been a lot going on and I need to keep everybody up to date. Here are some pictures from the last few weeks that I thought were cute. A couple of these are from tonight. Ella is getting big and more and more active. Words are starting to come as well.
The ones with the red gear on is from the ride along that I did in Kansas City with my sister Jen. I will have another post with some of that on it. But now Ella thinks that it is her stuff and she loves to run around the house with it. Well keep checking back and eventually I will get things on here.

HE CHANGED HIS NUMBER!

I am sure most of you have seen on the TV the comercial that makes fun of everyone that has the number 8. Well the time has come to where that is reality. Stupid DEI will not make a agreement with Hendrick to where they could take the number so now Jr. will have to change his number. I guess it is only fitting, his grandfather drove the number 8 and so it should stay under the name that is destroying the Earnhardt name. Teresa never met Jr.'s grandad so I am sure she feals nothing about it. Anyway, I have not posted for a while and need to get some stuff on here but this news warranted a post. I guess I will have to take my stuff off the car.

EllaB First Piano Recital

Ella playing the piano.

4th of July in Norfolk

We had a wonderful time in Norfolk for their anual fireworks display and spending time at Rosemary's with family and friends. Here are some pictures for all the fun. Ella enjoyed the dirt and playing with her cousin and playing on the piano.

EllaB Having Fun at Home

Ella playing around at home adn talking and walking, Just having fun.

EllaB New pool

Ella got a new pool with some of her birthday money and it finally got warm enough to test it out. She is still a little shy with it but I am sure by summer's end she will be playing in it.

Jeri's 30th Birthday

Jeri had a good time at her suprise birthday party. We kept it a big secret, even with all of our friends adn family standing in the garage waiting for everyone (and the cake) to arrive. Some friends kept her busy in the house while I started the grill and got the burgers going (and singe some hair since the fire was going crazy). We all had a good time and lots of people showed up for the festivities and braved the cool wet weather. Couldn't keep the small rain cloud away for a while but after it left... Thank you to our good friend and State Farm Agent (like a good neighbor) Greg S. for making the cake. Also thanks to the Millers, Skeeter, Spencers, and Jeannee for help arranging the party and helping with the supplies. Our third of July party looks to be ready for the next gathering. Hope to see everyone agian.

Where have you been

Sorry i have not posted anything new for a while but I have been extremely busy building the set for the new GILT ahow adn planning Jeri's surprise 30th Birthday party. Thank you to all that came, we had a good time. I have a couple of pictures but it is going to take a while, I am playing drums for the show that i built the set for. So as soon as life slows down I will post some more.

Ella and Cousins Memorial Day at the beach.

Ella and her cousins spend time on the beach.

Memorial Day Weekend

Us at the beach!

Here is Daddy's Big fish that he caught!

Joelie and Ella loved walking around tegether.

Jessie loved riding her trike all over, she is pretty fast on it.

Ella and Jessie got to try out the two seater to the beach. It attaches to the back of Dad's bike so Ella and him can go for rides around the neighborhood.

We went up to Yankton and spent the weekend with Jeri's brother and his family at their recently purchased Cabin on the river (it was in the family they just took over). We had lots of fun and we celebrated Jeri's birthday! Ella and the girls went to the beach and played in the sand while the boys were out fishing. Eric was the big fisherman this weekend catching a couple of bass. He was very excited and proud to have brought home the food. :) Jim Kilburn helped fry it up for breakfast the next morning and Ella tried some and liked it. All weekend was a fun time and wish we could spend more time with family but we all have to work so we came back home but here are some pictures of the exciting weekend.
