We're back.... : )

Woops! It has been a couple of months since I have updated our blog..and we have had some big events take place recently! So I'll do my best to post some pictures of each thing to catch you all up. (if anyone still checks this thing!)

Ellie turned ONE on April 30, and she had two super fun birthday parties!! She is such a big girl now! We can't even believe how grown up she is every time we look at her. She is such a sweet little thing and is SO full of energy (literally, never stops!) and is so stinkin funny, she's always making us laugh! Jeremy and I are having the time of our life raising our little Ellie. She is just too cute for words! Hope you enjoy the pics...there's lots of them!

Time Flies!

Ellie is now 11 months old! I can't believe our little baby is going to be ONE next month! That is so crazy! She is such a sweet little thing and is showing us more each day she has quite the personality! Ellie is hilarious, she makes us laugh so hard...and she is now starting to laugh at herself too, which is the cutest thing I've ever seen! We love her so much and are so proud to be her mommy and daddy!

Funny Daddy!

This video is so cute! Jeremy had Ellie laughing so hard! I love how the littlest and silliest things can make a baby so happy. There is nothing better than hearing your baby laugh...it's the best! : )

Nana's visit!

Jeremiah's mom came to visit last weekend, and we were SO excited to see her!! Ellie had so much fun playing with Nana and showing her everything she can do now! It was so great to have Jan here, and so special to see Ellie and her Nana together. Jeremiah's sister Shayna, and her now fiance Kevin (woohoo!) came over for the day on Sunday to hang out with us which was so much fun! We loved seeing them and Ellie sure did too! She was being so cute and of course, was showing off and being the silly little goose that she is! We had a great weekend with everyone and are so thankful for you all! : )
