January Catch-Up

Here is just a few pictures that I snapped in the last two weeks.

 This is how we play peek-a-boo...

 CLASSY!

 Papa stopped by to show Ella what he got on his latest duck hunting trip.

 Look how old she's looking, 2 years old in a couple of weeks!

 All grown up and ready to hit the town!

 We went to the Home Show to visit Daddy as he worked the Rexius Booth

 Love these next photos!

 

Baker City Birthday

Roadtrip! 

Ella is a little roadtrip all-star in our new car!

        Two weekends ago we traveled east all the way across the state to Baker City to SURPRISE my best friend Sara for her birthday. She also had another surprise, she got engaged to her boyfriend Aaron. It was an exciting weekend! We're really happy for Sara and Aaron! 

I did a horrible job taking pictures of our weekend! Boo! Thanks to my friend Kara for most of these pictures.

Here are all the girls that made it over for the celebration!

The next morning, we had a delicious brunch at Aaron's Mom house on our way to the ski lodge.

I loved the pretty snowy mountain views. 

Ella had lots of mini car naps on this trip.

 

She was a good little trooper! 

She wasn't so sure about the snow or all of her snow gear.

 We didn't move off the couch at the ski lodge. We could of used about 4 more hours to play our cards.We are dorks!

Thanks for the great weekend Aaron and Sara! Sorry Aaron this was the only picture I had of you. :)

Here is the bling before it really got blinged out! Congrats! Can't wait for the wedding!

Sledding into 2012

We spend New Years Eve sledding with the Oyler Family. The snow only arrived a day or so before in the mountains. We had blast!

Cheers to the New Year! May it bring Peace, Joy and Happiness!

Rosy Ducks!

Christmas Rewind....

Here is a little Christmas Rewind... I can't believe how fast it has come and gone... one more day of vacation, GO DUCKS!

Here is our Christmas Card picture for 2011

Ella is still not so sure of Santa but I was able to bribe her to put on this Santa mask.

Ho Ho Ho!

We got to visit Daddy at work two times over the break.

On Christmas Eve, Mommy, Mimi and Ella went to Church.

On Christmas morning,

 Mommy and Daddy woke our little Christmas girl up dressed like this.

She's still a little sleepy,

but she perked right up after opening her Santa presents!

Happy

Little

Elf!

Ella reading her new book with Daddy before we set out to visit all our families.

Our first stop was Grandpa Andy and Grandma Joyce's house.

Ella helped Grandpa Andy open his present from her... a new highchair!

Thanks for my new laptop! Now I can blog like mommy!

Off to Grandma Cindy's house.

We got Uncle Epo a set of glasses, unfortunately only 3 survived.

Ella got this adorable reindeer slippers

Ella opened so many presents that day, but I'm not sure any of them topped her new baby!

Thanks Grandma Cindy, I love my baby!

Last stop of the day was to Papa and Mimi's house

She got her very own sleeping bag, all  ready to go camping!

Uncle B got her a little drum...

He gave her a little lesson.

Aunt T hooked her up with some new bibs.

Christmas Cutie!

Uncle Jed got Ella her first Cabbage Patch Kid named Hannah.

Papa got hooked up with all sorts of camo gear.

Merry Christmas Boo!

I'm so thankful for the special time I got to spend my little Christmas girl! I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful family... You spoil me, especially my husband! Love you Buddy and my Christmas gift!
