We had a good weekend. We spent Friday evening having Great Grams over for her Birthday dinner. Ellie greeted her at the door with a big "HI!" On Saturday we did our normal routine and then I went shopping with Brooke. We went to Carters for Brody and her little girl she's having (I don't know if i'm aloud to announce her name yet). We also went to Sam's Club. We had a great time! Nanny watched Ellie while I went and then Daddy picked her up later on. We spent the evening at home Saturday enjoying Little Caesars for dinner! Then today we went to church and then had lunch with Nanny and PaPaw at Pizza King! Yummy! This afternoon we went into New Castle to get an ice cream and swim at my Dad's. Ellie enjoyed a kiddie cone for the first time! It was cute and messy! Hope you all have a good week, I will try to update this week.

Mmmmmm, she loved the cupcake icing! We looked for Dora cupcakes for Friday night when we had Great Grams over for her Birthday but they didn't have them :(. We thought Great Grams would enjoy Dora cupcakes!

Cheesy Smile!

THANK YOU Great Grams for the life size Dora! Ellie loves it! She has drug it around all weekend and sleeps with it!

BIG GIRL! We are not using her high chair anymore or booster seat cover. She's doing great eating like a big girl! We are so proud of her!

She loves loading the washer.

I'm guessing she won't want to do this for fun when she's older!

Raye getting ready for her ride on PawPaw's 4 wheeler.

Me and Raye went for a swim this afternoon. She loves the water! She would like for us to just let her go at it on her own. She's not quit ready for that yet!

She was yelling and getting mad at me because I didn't want her playing on the steps.

She thinks since sponge bob her fish from the fair went to fish heaven she needs a new fishy!

Sorry for no posts in a while!

We have been very busy ever since I went back to work August 2nd it seems like. Life will only get busier when Brody gets here! I will be 37 weeks on Saturday. I am on weekly visits now. I went to the doctor yesterday. His heart rate was 143. I go back next Tuesday morning. As of right now they are going to try to let me have him without being induced unless something changes. My body is really sore from him. He is very active too, he moves so much more than Ellie did. Or maybe he's going to be a Benson and be huge. Ellie wasn't huge at birth but she's tall for her age! I go to my thyroid specialist on the 8th and I will learn more about my surgery. I think I am more nervous about that than having Brody. It is a very major surgery. In the long run it will benefit me in so many ways though!

Ellie Raye is doing good! She is so smart! She can say purple and green now! She is learning so many things and amazing me everyday! I am so thankful for how much her grandparents work with her. She is so funny, she lifts my shirt up and points to my belly and says "BUBBY!" She walks up to his room and says "BUBBY" or she will just run around yelling "BUBBY!" She's going to be a great big sister! I think it will be a hard adjustment at first but she will do great. She's very loving and affectionate towards other children. She is getting her top K-9 teeth. So she's had a little bit of a rough past few days. She does so good teething though for the most part.

We will be celebrating Great Grams' Birthday tomorrow night for dinner. I will try to get some pictures over the weekend. I haven't been able to post as much because I am so busy and tired. Hopefully my cellphone pictures keep you a little updated! Oh and Ellie also knocked our laptop over and we aren't sure whats wrong with it....utttto! Here are some pictures from the past week I haven't taken any this week!

Raye and Cousin Clover

MawMaw and PawPaw got Ellie a stroller and baby Nikki. She loves pushing it around everywhere. She plays with it during the week at there house and bring it home over the weekend! Oh she also got a DORA purse, they found it for her as well!

Pushing her baby around in the living room, wait I mean her play room! She's taken the living room over. The TV is normally on NickJr and she has toys everywhere! She does a good job of helping clean up, she's a big helper!

Silly girl playing with her sunglasses!

We found a whole Dora family set of figures at Goodwill in great condition. She loves playing with them!

She loves her Dora plate, she was moving the ketchup to see Dora's face!

She loves to waller all over you when you sit on the couch with her. It's not very comfortable for Me considering how huge my belly has gotten!

Nanny letting Ellie try her first ice cream sandwich. She loves them!

Yummy she ate half of one!

HAHA!

Mooreland Fair 8-14-10

We went to the Mooreland fair on Saturday. We watched a little bit of the parade. She LOVED the Firetrucks! We also let her ride the Motorcycles and Cars. She of course rode the carousel too that's her favorite ride! It was very hot on Saturday so we only stayed at the fair for about an hour and a half. She won a fish and a blow up plastic dolphin. We also let her try a little bit of Cotton Candy, it was a HIT! She loved it! We gave her the Cotton Candy at Nanny and Papaws house (she stayed the night with the Saturday)! When we got to their house Nanny had the Little People Carnival all set up and Ellie was really excited to play with it! We had a great weekend and we started off our busy week today!

Daddy and Raye walking to the fair!

Ellie Raye

She rode the Motorcycles, she didn't like them that well.

Ellie

She loved the car!

Such a BIG girl! Daddy had a hard time letting Ellie ride the Motorcycle and Car! He was a little paranoid about her riding it and very over protective.

Ellie won a fish! We named it Spongebob, the only names she knows is Spongebob, Dora and Bubby so we went with Spongebob! :)

Ellie won a big blow up plastic dolphin after she picked a duckie. She really enjoyed playing in the cool water because it was so HOT!

The carousel!
