Happy Halloween!

Klaus's annual Halloween costume party.  Johnny & June Cash (Jacob & Tyse Brosamle), Chick & Chick Magnet (Katie & Greg Dreyer), Fred & Wilma Flinstone.

Uncle Jason carved me an Ella pumpkin - it's awesome!  He also carved a Michigan pumpkin - I suppose we can forgive him!

Happy First Halloween Beautiful Flower!

My Baptism!

All worn out from my big day.  I still sleep with my hands behind my head.

I am such a sweet pretty girl!

I love my Uncle Matt!  Uncle Matt and Aunt Megan were the sponsors for my baptism.

My baptism!  I am the only baby that didn't cry, mommy's necklace proved to be a good distraction.

Costa Rica!!!

 

Who turned out the lights?   Hola...it's Ella!  Ella helped us unpack from Costa Rica and decided that she needed to wear mommy's beach hat.

Our last night in Costa Rica.  Mmmm...sushi!

Ella was never out of our hearts or minds while we where in Costa Rica.  Daddy wrote her name in the sand.

We joined several other "honeymooners" on a sunset cruise. Gorgeous!

COSTA RICA!!! Bob and I went on a 7 day dream honeymoon to Costa Rica in October. It was an amazing trip! We had such incredible experiences there and created memories of a lifetime. Like any vacation, it went way to fast, but we were defiantly anxious to get home to our little princess. Grammie Kayleen stayed with Ella while we were gone for the week so that put our minds at ease - THANKS GRAMMIE!!! We took an ATV beach tour and then up into the canopy to do 11 different zip lines. We also went horesback riding along the beach and up in the mountains where we hiked to the top and once again took in amazing views. Fabulous food, unlimited drinks, our own personal butler, massages on the beach - LIFE IS GREAT!!!

Family Time!

Ahh, I love my Aunt Megan!

My first time at the pool!  Papa & Nana Swanson, Uncle Ben, Aunt Megan, cousin Carson, Mommy, Daddy and I spent the night at Adventureland Inn to celebrate Nana's 60th birthday and Daddy's 28th birthday.  We had tons of fun, I am defiantly a water baby!
