Summer Fun!!!

Sunday evening we went over to Uncle Matt and Aunt Jenny's house. Bob helped Matt set up their swimming pool (Ethan and Boomer helped too)! Grammie, Ella and Emma enjoyed playing on the trampoline. Ella and Emma had were wild girls, they decided to have a contest of who could scream the loudest! Our ears are still ringing from the piercing sounds of those two girls.

Rollin' in the Escalade!  Look at these hot chicks!  Emma and Ella decided to take Cousin Kade and Dayne's Escalade for a spin.  I informed Aunt Jenny that this is the one and only time these two girls will be allowed to drive anywhere together!  I cringe when I think of what they will do together as teenagers!  We all went over to Uncle Jeff and Aunt Tanya's house on Sunday to celebrate Dayne's 4th birthday.  Typical me, I didn't even get a picture of the birthday boy!  He looked pretty cool decked out in all his new Iron Man gifts!  Happy Birthday Dayne!

Ella at the pool wearing her adorable white swim cover dress that she received from "Uncle" Gary and "Aunt" Judy for her birthday.  We went swimming last Friday afternoon at the Airport Holiday Inn with Nana, Papa and Grammie.  Nana was leaving the next morning for California to spend some time with Aunt Janet as she recovers from ankle surgery.  We hope you feel better soon Aunt Janet, sending you lots of hugs and kisses!

Ella was "helping" Cousin Brady bounce in his jumperoo.  I think we may need to have Brady checked for shaken baby syndrome after all her "helping"!  Oh Ella, how you don't realize that Brady is growing much faster than you and will be much bigger than you very soon - we hope you are prepared when he plots his revenge!

Nana with her grandkids! Carson was helping measure Ella and Brady's feet - Brady won! His feet are bigger and at 4 1/2 months Brady outweighs his 13 1/2 month old cousin Ella! Ella is so lucky to have her big protective cousins Carson and Brady around!

 Cousin Carson giving Ella a ride on his tractor! He is an excellent driver! He created a dirt pile to drive through to make things a bit more interesting - that a boy!

Aunt Megan and Ella running through the sprinkler!

Gimme 5!

Ella and Bienna watching Baby Einstein on a Saturday morning. 

(Well actually Bienna is just waiting for Ella to drop some Cherrios!  Following Ella around when she has snacks has become Bienna's new favorite hobby.  It works for us, it keeps the floors clean!)

I love my trike! This was my birthday gift from Mommy and Daddy!  I rode it to Dairy Queen the other night to get an ice cream cone.  It was lots of fun, I screamed and giggled the whole way!

Ella enjoying the summer weather in her new pool!

And of course showing off her bikini body!
