Family BBQ ....Dawns Birthday

The family enjoyed playing croquet, but had more fun posing with the mallets I think!
The birthday girl!

Ready to put out the fire!




Check out Ella and George,
they sure were watching Aunt Dawn cut that cake!

Stan and Jessica have this cool "barn" (its a storage shed) in their backyard..It would be an awesome background in pictures, however, tonight was not the night! ha, most of mine turned out pretty awful, this was the best one I got of both kids..


Posing yet again!
And a little Lily to end my post!
Oh and I made this dip. It was pretty tasty!

I heart photoshop

We went for a walk this afternoon and took some pictures of the girls..we were going to do a family picture but that will have to wait for another day..



I love her eyes in this picture
Ella was terrified to sit on the fence..for good reason too, about 10 seconds after I snapped this picture she toppled off backwards!


Even though she looks really sad, this was before the fall!
I'm having way too much fun playing with photoshop!



This wall is where we will take our family picture when we go again (much later in the evening when its cooled down a bit!) I wanted to take a test picture to play around with and make sure the lighting looked good, so Joe and Ella posed next to it for me..


On the walk home Ella kept saying, "really cold mama, really cold!" Translation, really hot! ha So when we got to the yard she ran to her pool and hiked up her dress and got in, sandals and all!

Ella went with Joe to some ham radio field day today...

On the way there with her own soda!
Eating lunch in the trailer
Napping..this really doesn't look that comfy to me! They are planning on camping tonight, but we'll see if they really do, Ella forgot her blankie on the couch so Joe might have a rough night!
Its really weird to be home with just Lily. We've been keeping busy though, first we went to a few stores in the draper outlet mall, then the di (we got Ella a bike with training wheels!) I got a new picture frame the other day and I needed to fill it so I did a little photo shoot with Lily this afternoon.
Here are my favorites..
She is not as smiley as Ella was as a baby, but I love this little face!


Almost a smile..

Hate is a strong word, but I really really really don't like you...

Today I tackled the ever growing pile of laundry..I was trying to find a funny saying about doing the laundry and I didn't have to look very hard because today Beth's word art was about laundry! Crazyness..

Happy Father's Day

For some reason my blogger is being dumb and won't let me write between pictures, so all you get is pictures....

Happy Father's Day Daddy, Papa Steve, and Papa Phil!








Love,
Ella and Lily
