It was a Great Day for a Wedding!

I'm now back from my Minnesota vacation, so I'm catching up on the last couple of weeks. They have been jammed packed with fun!

On July 17th, I had the wonderful honor of being a bridesmaid for one of my best friends, Kara Ann Kauble. Matt and Kara had one of the most beautiful weddings ever! Ella had a great time till we tried to put her to bed. She didn't want to miss the party!!

It's official, Mr. and Mrs.Walter!

Two Years Ago

Happy Anniversary to My Husband! Love you more today than ever!

Being at my friend's wedding this weekend brought up a lot of memories of ours. 

Happy Anniversary Buddy! Look at us today!

Wish I was there to celebrate with you tonight! XOXO


(this is just a feel good video clip)

When I showed Ella this video, she started talking and flapping her hands all around. She loved it!

Five Month Cutie!

It's hard to believe it but our little cutie is five months old already! She is getting closer to sitting up, and loves to play with her toys. I got a little teary eyed watching her play and thinking about how fast she is changing. 

Miss Ella now wants to grab everything! If it's in our hands,
she wants it!

"What Mom... I'm not doing anything wrong!"

Here are some of my favorites from the last couple days

Here's our Big Girl! 

This week we are packing for our trip to Minnesota. I'm so excited for Ella to meet all her cousins and great aunts and uncles.

Hot and Sunny Weekend

With the heat Ella has been sleeping back in our room because we have a window air conditioner. Friday night she fell asleep like this for over an hour. She loves her toeies!

On Saturday, we went over to my friend Kara's parent's house to do little wedding prep and a little swimming. She's getting married in less in a week! Ella got to play with her friends Dakota and Lucas.

This is what a regular diaper looks like after swimming. The pool might of gone down an inch after these babies were done swimming.

 
Lucas and his Nick Nolte hair and sparkly blue eyes!

He's showing off that he can sit up and crawl.

He is the mature older man of the group.

Ella decided that Dakota's hood looks really tasty.

Patriotic Baby

Over the long 4th of July weekend, we spent four nights camping at Dorena Lake with our friends, the Eichners and Wescotts. I guess I was "too busy camping" to take very many pictures. However, I got a few when Mark, Ella and I went on a hike up to the top of the dam, I guess you could say we went on a "Dam Tour". 

This is a good look for Mark... No shirtin' Baby Bjornin'.
Keepin' it Classy!

I just figured out why I didn't take very many pics... 4 day of camping grease and grim. Not a good look.

After I got home, I wasn't very happy that I missed taking Ella's picture in her cute 4th of July swimsuit that we had our own little Patriotic Baby photo shoot. My Grandpa would be so proud. Here are some of my favorites.

You can't tell I'm loving being home with Ella this summer!
