Daddy helping Raye go down her slide!

She loves her pool!

Uncle Loggie came and stayed the night with us, she loves him to death! He's such a good Uncle!

Our little diva, she still loves this toy even though she can walk and run around like crazy now!

We went to visit my Gramp's grave today. Ellie took him flowers! She was such a big girl holding them and sitting them down when I told her to! Today would of been my grandparents 46th wedding anniversary and today was mine and John's 2nd. I think it's so special that we share the same wedding anniversary! :) I always remember going to wash my Great Grandparents grave (which is next to my grandparent's) when I was younger with my Grams. I hope Ellie and I can share that when it becomes my turn to take care of the graves. When I was younger I remember geez this isn't fun, but now I know how much that probably meant to my Grams!

This picture is just so precious! She of course loves Gramps little dog statue, she does have a lot of Lewis in her!

Here are some pictures from yesterday and today. We have had a great weekend so far! John has the day off and we are celebrating our 2nd Wedding Anniversary tomorrow!

She loves to play with her ball popper!

We tried the sprinkle pool again but she just doesn't like how cold the water is!

She liked sitting in it once the water warmed up and we didn't have it on! Ellie and I went on a hunt today in Muncie for a plastic pool. We found one with a slide at Toys R Us finally, we went everywhere in Muncie trying to find one!

She loves to play with her sidewalk chalk Nanny and Papaw got her!

Ellie Raye loves to look at books! She is always pointing and saying "whats that?" to the pictures in the books. I love reading to her! :)

She really likes her Sesame Street ABC book.

Silly Raye! Her favorite books are her two Yo Gabba Gabba books and her animal book with the "kitty cat" and "BABY!"

She was running all over the house with her shovel acting like she was sweeping! She must of been put to work all day at Nannies today! :)

Daddy getting Raye Raye ready for bed, her favorite set of pj's is her Dora nightgown!

Dora Bathing Suit

When Ellie and I got home this afternoon we did a fashion show with her bathing suits. Her favorite is the Dora! She put on a great show for me in her Dora bathing suit, she is so funny!

Pretty Ellie Raye

Accessorising of course!

This is a little onry look!

Momma's girl!

Showing off DORA!

She grabbed her tutu from her birthday and wanted it put on. She grabbed it and brought it to me!

Cutie!

When Daddy got home we put her sprinkle pool outside. Ellie really wanted to get in it. We let her! She enjoyed it, but the water was a little to cold for her. Can you believe it was 88 degrees today! AH! She's going to swim at MawMaw and PawPaw's house tomorrow so I will post a picture if they send one to me! She really loved the pool last year I'm sure she's going to be in it all summer this year!
