Cute Pics!!

I know, two posts in one day. What can I say?? I had a relaxing day. These are a few pictures taken of Ella today. She is so busy!!

Happy Birthday to me!!

Well, it is official. I am no longer in my 20's. Sad, huh?? I turned 30 yesterday. I thought I would feel somewhat different, but surprisingly, I don't feel a thing. We had such a fun day!! My sweet husband gave me the sweetest necklace with Ella's name on it and a few charms which included her birthstone. He also gave me a gift certificate to Continental Sewing. As some of you probably don't know, I have started sewing classes. Funny isn't it?? My sweet parents also came over and took me to lunch. Then Tyler and I went out to eat at Tico's last night. It was a fun day with family.

Here is a picture of my beautiful birthday cake Mrs. Donna Poole made for me. She is a long time family friend and really my second mother. Thank you for the beautiful cake.

Fun times at the Neshoba County Fair!!

I had the privelege of taking Ella to one of my favorite pasttimes this weekend. We went to the Neshoba County Fair. I usually stay the first weekend with my family (we have a cabin there), but this year I opted not to attempt this with a 10 month old. I think I made a smart decision. My sweet parents drove us back and forth from the fair to their house in Newton. We had a blast!! We went Friday night to eat with my family and then we walked around so I could visit all of my friends that I only get to see at the fair. We had a slight set-back on Friday night. Ella developed a horrible cough and we ended up having to see a pediatrician in Union, MS Saturday morning. She diagnosed her with bronchitis. We are on lots of medications and doing nebulizer breathing treatments. So, all in all, it was an eventful weekend. But no bronchitis is going to keep her from the fair. We went back on Saturday and stayed for just a little while. She didn't feel good, but she was a trooper. Here are a few pics from the weekend.

Splish Splash!!

Fourth of July Festivities!!

We had a big day!! We first went out to the Barrett's lake house and hung out with all of Tyler's ortho buds. Then we went to the Haraway's for some fun. Here are some pics.

Just Us Girls!!

Tonight is Tyler's first night on-call as a new resident. He is rotating through the surigical intensive care unit (known at UMC as the sick-u). He is by himself in the unit taking care of the patients the nights he is on-call. Please keep him in your prayers as I know he is a little nervous.

So tonight it was just Ella and I for the first time since about November of last year. It is sad to not have Da-da here!! We will just have to get used to it though. Here are some pictures that we took for Da-da so he wouldn't miss out on anything.

New toy, new friend, new hobby!!!
