Can you see the attitude on her face? Yeah, she is too much like her mother!!

I love this picture!! Her favorite thing to do is help daddy fix his truck, which happens alot :)

Napping at truckfest
She already wants to drive...we are going to have problems

On our trip to Oregon we took a side trip to Pendleton to meet up with Shelby and the kids. It was fun to have the grandparents and grandkids together. Imagine this....four adults and three children in one hotel room with two queen beds. To make a story short....ella slept all night in her pack and play, grandma ended up in the car, and reed slept in the bathtub with lots of towels as padding. It was pretty funny.

Just a few pictures from our trip to Oregon and the beach. Enjoy!

Random....

Ella mimics everything that she sees Wayne and I doing. We both started laughing when she picked up her corn and went to it. She was able to use the few teeth that she has to get a few good bites in.

We decided to go and find some "hills" to have a hot dog roast one night. Finding mountains by pueblo colorado not an easy task. We ended up driving almost an hour, climbed over a barb wire fence and made our own fire pit. We had a lot of fun until the rain came....gotta love colorado weather.

She couldn't figure out how to get the sticky white stuff off her hands and she was not very happy about it.

She sure does love her daddy.

This is what happens when Wayne takes Ella swimming. The diaper got so big and weighed so much that she could hardly walk. Keep scrolling and find out what happens next....

Naked baby in the pool!!

This is Ella's favorite spot in the whole house. She will sit there for so long just playing with the locks. She has fallen off once and landed on the tile, but that hasn't stopped her!!

These few pictures were taken at Garden of the Gods. We had a really fun time with Grandpa, Grandma, Byron and Jaron. It was nice to have some visitors!!

We went to the top of Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs with the fam. The top was above 14,ooo ft. It was quite the drive but we had a good time.

On memorial day we went to the worlds tallest suspension bridge. It is in Canon City Colorado and it is just over 1000 ft above the Arkansas river. It was a fun day, but I don't recommend walking across the bridge when it is windy.....IT MOVES!! Kind of creepy. But we had a good time and it was pretty incredible to look at and wonder how in the world it was built. Enjoy!!

Here a just a few pictures of Ella. kind of random but since I haven't posted anything for a while i thought I better get on it. Enjoy!

This was taken after she helped her dad in the garage. She was black everywhere. My bathtub was proof of that. But she loved every minute of it, as did i since I got a break!!

She loves sitting in my lawn chair. Even when I put hers out, she still would rather sit in mine.

Ella takes after her mom and has a true love for clothes. If she finds any piece of clothing laying within her reach she will put it on and wear it around the house. She was so excited when she found her dads work shirt.

One tired baby!!

Grandma came and visited us for about a week in may. We had so much fun and didn't want her to go home. hopefully she will see this picture and decided that it is time for another visit!!

WE MOVED...

Yes, we are no longer in the state of Idaho. Around the beginning of March Wayne had a job interview in Pueblo West Colorado. Needless to say he was offered the job, so we picked up and moved. We did all of this in about three weeks time. He closed the shop, packed up his tools and we hit the road for Colorado. We were both so busy that for the two weeks prior to the move I don't think we really saw all that much of eachother. Yeah, stressful to move a shop and house in three weeks. I don't recommend it. Wayne now works for Elite Diesel Engineering here in Pueblo West, and he loves it. I still am dealing with paperwork from the shop, but that is coming to an end rather quickly. Ella just had her birthday and she is really keeping us on our toes. She has been walking for a while, which means she can get into more things a lot faster than when she was crawling. Packing and unpacking with her was quite a challenge. We hope you are all doing well and here are some pictures.

This is our house in Colorado. Our landlord built it, tried to sell and couldn't so he decided to make it a rental. We never thought we would be so lucky as to move into a brand new house. As you can see we don't have much of a yard yet, but it is progress.

Ella got her first horse. It even plays music that she will dance to. We were looking at a few other toys for her birthday but decided that we couldn't pass up the pink pony.

Ella has been cutting teeth lately....here is the before shot of her without tylenol.

And here she is once it kicked in.

This year was Ella's first Easter. Everything on the couch is for her, except of course the legos. The Easter bunny left those for Wayne. Pretty sure that Ella stuck almost every piece in her mouth before her dad got a chance to build the car.
