Beach Vacation!

We went to the beach last week for our annual trip with my family. We have gone every year since I was little and now it is so much fun getting to take my little girl! Ellie had a blast this year and was so good! We were not ready to come home!

She loves flowers. She says, "flowers make me HAPPY!"

Ellie and Uncle Coe are big buddies!

Griswald's mini van with kayaks on top!

There were a bunch of baby frogs in a little pond by the beach and Ellie loved catching them...poor frogs!

It took Daddy a few tries to get up on the kayak

over the waves!

Watching her favorite, Barney.

Dancing on the stage.

She loved swimming in the pool!

She did not like the sand on her feet and kept her shoes on...wasn't quite sure of it on her hands either!

First Real Haircut!

Ellie had her first real haircut today! One of my best friends, Laura, opened a Pigtails & Crewcuts so we had to go by and check it out. The store is so cute! I have trimmed Ellie's hair a couple times myself, but it was time for a professional to take over. I wasn't ready for much of a change yet so they just shaped it up a bit. Maybe once her hair gets a little thicker we can go for a big girl bob :)

Farm Animals!

When we were in Russellville last weekend, we went over to the Ford's house and saw all their animals. Ellie was in heaven and loved every minute of it! She loves animals so much and it not afraid of anything...maybe we have a Vet in our future?! The best part was playing with the baby goats. They were sooo cute and let her love all over them. They are 2 months old and so funny. We will have to go back and visit again!

The Ross's Visit!

The Ross's came to visit and spent the night with us a few weekends ago. We all went to a Hog baseball game (compliments of the Carter's) and got to hang out in their box. The kids had so much fun together and Ellie loved following Anna Claire around.

William, Anna Claire and Ellie

It was hard to get a good pic of all three!
