Summertime fun

Today after church we went to mama myrick's (elle's great grandmother) house for a big country lunch straight out of the garden. Elle had never seen half of the vegetables there and wasn't so sure about it. She had her first squash dressing, okra, and her first sweet tea. I think she still prefers goldfish crackers and juice but she did pretty good! After lunch she played in the dirt with her cousin Caroline and then we had to move it to my parents house for some swimming. Fun day!

Caught red handed!

Orange Beach

We took a family beach trip to OB this weekend along with some other friends and their babies. Elle had a great time playing with Wilkes and Mary Clayton. She also had her 15 month checkup and here's her stats: weight 20.8 lbs (30 percentile) height 30 and 3/4 (50 percentile) and head is some # i can't remember but 90 percentile! lots of brains in there!

Elle and Tanner

JB, Justin, and Tanner came to spend the weekend a few weeks ago and I'm just now getting around to posting pics. Elle was not afraid of Tanner this time and they played and had a blast. Tanner also taught Elle how to walk and she started walking while he was here!

Happy 4th!

We went to my parents house to celebrate the 4th of July on Saturday. Elle had fun playing with her cousins Logan, Caroline, and Rylee. They had a tea party, swam, and Elle had her first watermelon. She loved it!

gulfshores 2010

Sorry i have been doing a terrible job at posting pics lately so here are the latest ones! Elle is getting so big and doing so many new things and talks up a storm. We just got back from gulfshores. She LOVED the beach and kicked and screamed b/c i wouldn't let her get all the way in the oily ocean. She ruined one swimsuit in that nasty oil and we spent most of the time at the pool. Enjoy!

Pizza

Elle is showing her Italian side in these pics. Her favorite food is pizza. Loves it and can eat 3 pieces all by herself.

Girls Trip

I suprised my mom with a mother/daughter/grandaughter trip to Ocean Springs. We went down on Saturday and shopped ALL day, ate lots of good food, and stayed at a boutique bed and breakfast. It was so much fun we decided to make it an annual event!





We got up on Sunday morning and came back to Laurel to celebrate mother's day and my birthday.
