True Okies

On Saturday we took our little cowgirl to the Oklahoma State Fair.

She enjoyed the fair food, 

but she wasn't so sure about the animals!

She ended the night with her first ever ice cream bar - which ended up all over her face.

Indiana Memories

More Tub Time

Ellabeth is really starting to enjoy the whirlpool tub and the bubbles that it makes.  Soon, we will be able to try real bubble bath!

First Ponytail

She really doesn't have enough hair, but we tried anyway!

Whiners

Unfortunately, Ellabeth has learned to communicate using whining!

Happy 1st Birthday to Ellabeth!!

Getting Ready

To look her best for her 1 year pictures, Ellabeth had her mullet trimmed and - finally - got her teeth brushed!

The Great Outdoors

Ellabeth is starting to enjoy the grass...

but she really prefers to stay on the concrete and play in the dirt.

More New Friends

This week we woke up with a turtle in our yard!

Looking Good

We made sure Ellabeth was as cute as could be for her first trip to the nursery at church.  The report: "she was the happiest little girl the entire time, but she would get up in other kids faces and scream really excited and scare them."  I guess we need to expose her to more people her age!

Week of Firsts

Ellabeth was so happy to see the washer and dryer arrive that she kissed door.

We decided to 'go green' and get an electric lawn mower.

Ellabeth had tons of fun in her first whirlpool bath!

Our New Friends

In Boston, we had the occasional ant or fly.  It looks like bugs here come in a bigger size!

What a Trip!

On Saturday, we walked out the door with apartment looking like this.

We took a few bags and headed to the airport.

After spending a couple nights in a hotel, we closed on our house and enjoyed a first dinner of spaghetti and veggie steamers.

Last Boston Bath

Ellabeth got clean in Boston one last time.  Tomorrow we head out for Oklahoma!

Just Like Daddy

Donnie has taken Pringles in his lunch every day for the past 3 years.  Tonight, Ellabeth got a can of them open and crushed on the ground.  After she realized she wasn't going to get in trouble, she had a great time eating them!

What a Husband

After 3 years, Donnie knows the way to my heart - flowers, starbucks, and chocolate!

Major Bed-Head

Ellabeth went down for her nap and woke up looking like this!

On the Road Again

We loaded Ellabeth up for another plane ride to Oklahoma City.

She enjoyed helping look for her new home.
After we found a home she liked, she helped sign the papers!
We all had fun eating outside on the canal and watching the ducks and boats go by.

Cousins at Play

Ellabeth and Will had tons of fun together in Indiana!
