Sporting the Spike

Ellabeth made two public appearances this weekend while wearing her Pebbles ponytail.

Dancing Girl

Talk about bringing sexy back!

One Year Pics

Ellabeth was in a very bad mood the day the she had her 1 year pictures taken.  Here are a few of the good ones we got.

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.
