Wa - Wa

Daddy and Ellie have started a new "before bedtime" trend. They go out and water the plants together. It is so precious. Here is a picture Brett captured from his phone. Now anytime we pass a plant when we are out and about (even if it is fake!), she points to it and says Wa-Wa, Wa-Wa! 

Ellie in red wedge heels!

Ellie LOVES to wear shoes. She typically walks around in daddy's tennis shoes! Here she is today in my wedge heels! It seems she is never dressed with a cute bow when I get great video and photo opportunities! Oh well, gotta capture these moments!

4th of July

Here are some pics from our 4th of July celebrations! We spent time at my in-laws lakehouse and then to the Carlson's river house.

My sweet friend, Beth, hosted a play date where we made American flags using our babies feet and hands to make the stars and stripes. Precious idea! Ellie and I were super messy, but we had a great time! We gave the flag to Grams and she hung it proudly at the lakehouse!

Rebecca helped us with the paint!

Finished product!

Watching the Cape Malibu neighborhood parade!

Ellie in her new adirondack chair!

Uncle E let Ellie drive his boat!

Uncle E let Nolan and Macey drive too!

I love this picture of Macey!

Uncle E and little E in the Trinity River!

Ellie didn't last long in the river. The lifejacket wasn't too fun for her.

Going fast in the boat!

Body Combat

One of my favorite hobbies is teaching Body Combat at a local gym. I get such an adrenaline rush from being up front and leading a group in an amazing workout. On the days that I teach, I spend time practicing at home. Ellie loves to practice with me. I got this video yesterday before we headed to the gym.
