Apple Blossom Farm

Written by Ellen on August 30, 2008 – 4:00 pm -


Today we went to pick apples at Apple Blossom farm with Mason and his mommy and daddy. It was hot. Mason and I got sweaty and all we did was sit in our strollers! Our mommies and daddies picked apples and bought apple cider donuts. It was a fun afternoon. I got tired, though and took a nap while they were eating ice cream. Oh, well, they never share anyway.

Getting SO Big!

Written by Ellen on August 28, 2008 – 1:57 pm -

I’m always on the go now! I’m crawling all over the place. I like to crawl over to the furniture and get up on my knees and chew on the corners and edges of the cushions (like in this picture). I also, just yesterday, pulled myself up to stand while holding on to furniture! I’ve been doing that several times now that I figured it out. I’d like to start walking soon, but we’ll see about that. And another tooth is popping through (it hurts).

First Tooth

Written by Ellen on August 20, 2008 – 1:49 pm -

It’s time I told you about my first tooth! I’ve had it for over a week now. It feels funny to me and it hurt a lot the day it poked through. Everyone sure is excited to get to see it. Mommy took this picture. It’s blurry because using the flash so close made me look a little freaky and because she had to open my mouth and hold the camera at the same time. But you can see my tooth!

Finishing Up Vacation Time

Written by Ellen on August 10, 2008 – 2:00 pm -

Daddy and Mommy still are on vacation so we are spending the weekend with Grandma Ruth. Uncle Steve, Aunt Pris, Erin, Manny, Anna, Grant, Ben, Nicole, Luke and Jordan (from Massachusetts) all stayed at Grandma’s for the weekend. I’ve never been passed around so much! At one point Uncle Steve and Aunt Pris were competing for my attention. It was funny! Even Grant helped take care of me when we went to eat at Alexander’s Steakhouse so that Mommy and Daddy could eat without having to worry about me interrupting. We watched slides of Daddy’s family from the 70s – I don’t even know what that means! Mommy says that just means it was before she was born. . . Everybody else ate home-made ice cream and lots of other food that looked really good. We all went to church together at Harvest – we filled up an entire row of chairs! We watched some of the Olympics, too.
It was fun to see everyone again.

My Vacation

Written by Ellen on August 7, 2008 – 7:00 pm -


Daddy, Mommy and I had planned to go to Rocky Mountain National Park for a week. Uncle Steve, Aunt Pris and their family were going to rent a camper. . . but plans changed kind of last minute. Daddy, Uncle Steve and my cousins Ben, Luke, Jordan and Caleb went camping and backpacking but all the girls stayed home.
So Mommy took me to Great Grandpa and Grandma Cox’s house, and we spent a week there. We went to garage sales; we ate at a coffee house; Mommy had her favorite Aurelio’s pizza (but she didn’t share any with me!); and Mommy and Great Grandma made some cards. I had fun getting to know them better! Great Grandma got lots of smiles out of me when we played together, and I watched news and Wheel of fortune with Great Grandpa.
I can’t wait to go back!
