You go Girl

Elle has really been doing well with her swimming skills since my last post so i shot another video. The only problem we have is her not wanting to take a rest! She puts her head under water and is ready to go again.

4th of July

We took a trip to Orange Beach with Meredith, Gary, and Mary Clayton for the 4th and had a large time. The girls got along good and whatever one of them had---the other had to have it too! Elle would wake up every morning and say "where's Mary Clate?" Mary Clayton calls Elle "O" for some reason and its too cute.

We went to orange beach for the 4th of July and Elle was showing off her skills so i had to record it. I can't figure out how to rotate video so you just have to turn your head to the side :) more pics of the trip to come!

Father's Day Beach Trip

Josh had a work conference at the perdido beach resort in Orange Beach for father's day weekend so we couldn't let him spend it alone! Our cousin's, the Luckett family were there with 2 of there children so it was great to see them and Elle loved her cousins. We got to go to dinner one night with our friends from college, the Leddy's, and Elle got to play with their little girl, Morgan. So much fun!

Memorial Day and Big Girl School

We had a very relaxing Memorial day and just stayed home. It felt good to not be out of town for once. We went to laurel and had some good food, swam, and I played mixed doubles in a tennis tournament and we WON!
Elle started her big girl school on tuesday at M&M learning factory. Until now, we've had our dear Mrs. Kathy keeping her at her house. I was soooooo nervous but Elle did great. She gets a report at the end of each day and so far she has eaten EVERY bite of every meal there and been a good girl. When I pick her up she doesn't even want to leave! She is enjoying learning music, having arts and crafts, and playground time. She is growing up too fast!

6 years!

Josh and I celebrated our anniversary this weekend. All of Elle's grandparents were out of town so I thought it might be a good time for us to find a good babysitter since she's NEVER stayed with one. But her daddy wanted to take her along so she got to join us. She did really good at dinner and even ate half of my food which was mahi mahi with cajun sauce and shrimp. It was spicy but she LOVED it----so i got stuck eating her cheese grits! Go figure!
Elle also had her 2 year check-up this week (okay i was a month late with her appt :)
her stats were: weight 27.4 lbs (60%) height 34 and 1/2 inches (60%)

enjoyed her brownie a la mode
