Pool Day!

The weather is starting to warm up, so my parents heated the pool and we went over for a swim. Ella is loving the water and the sunshine!

 Waving to Grandma!!

Jester King

Before we took Noelle and Darryl to the airport to head back to California we made a quick stop at Jester King Brewery for a beer tasting and lunch. They have an awesome outdoor area there with a huge barn and some really cool airstreams that they converted into restrooms.

Happy Birthday Ella!

WOW! We made it a year! So excited to celebrate Ella's birthday with her friends and family! We had quite a group; Chad's family came from California, my grandparents drove in from Alabama, my sister flew in from Colorado and my aunt drove in from the Texas coast. Thank you so much everyone for coming to celebrate with us!

 

We had a party at our house on Saturday with snacks and games. I had a great time putting together all the decorations and Ella's smash cake.

 

After cake Ella got to open presents. She had a ball tearing through all the wrappings!

 

The weather was gorgeous and Chad and his dad had just finished putting in a new deck in the backyard. Ella received a fun picnic table that works perfectly on the new patio.

 

We had such a wonderful time celebrating Ella's birthday with all her friends and family! <3

Our Little Drummer

Ella loves drumming on things. Here she found the paint can and went to town!
