Raye loves to be outside!

I got to leave work early today so Ellie and I went home and played outside. We got her sand put in her sandbox Nanny and Papaw got her for her Birthday. She loved playing in her sandbox! We have tons of fun toys for her sandbox too that she enjoyed! After we played in the sandbox we got her wagon cleaned up Great Grams Lewis gave her. We then took a wagon ride around the yard to see the cows. She LOVES to see the cows! For dinner we got to grill out and Ellie enjoyed eating a whole hotdog! We had a great night!

I sat her on the edge so she could get the feel of the sand with her feet. She wasn't to sure at first.

She LOVES her sandbox!

Making turtles in the sand.

She really enjoyed it!

ELLIES 2ND EASTER!

We had a great second Easter with Ellie! Last year she wasn't even a month old when we celebrated Easter. She really enjoyed seeing and spending time with alot of her family yesterday! We are very blessed to have such a big family. Thank you to everyone for Ellie's Easter Baskets. We really appreciate all of your kindness!

The Easter Bunny came!

YAY!

Hmmm...candy, will Mommy let me eat it? She might get a bite.

Our beautiful baby girl!

Look at her go!

She loved touching her dress, we were calling her a "princess"!

On our way to church, we were so glad MawMaw, PawPaw and Uncle Loggie came to church with us!

Daddy, Raye and Aunt Hali at Granny & Papaw Griffey's house. El's 1st Easter Egg Hunt!

Daddy & Aunt Hali had a plan down as you can see.

Opening up her eggs, Daddy was excited about all the candy he would get to eat! Thanks Granny & Papaw Griffey for all the Easter candy and Ellie's toys & clothes!

We went home and changed and were off to MawMaw and PawPaw Lewis' house. Raye has her new Robeez shoes on in this picture that we went and bought at the childrens shoe store Brinkman's. They were part of her Easter. I let her pick from a few colors and designs, these are what she picked! She refuses to wear hard sole shoes, she loves her Robeez!

Thanks MawMaw and PawPaw Lewis for the Easter basket. The first thing Ellie went for in her basket was her $2 bill and then her tinkerbell car keys!

Thanks Great Grams Lewis for the eggs, candy and duckie bath towel!

Thank you Nanny and Papaw Benson for the candy, books and dvd of Princess & The Frog!

PawPaw blowing Raye bubbles! She was pretty fascinated by them!

Aunt Melissa, Raye, MawMaw Lewis and Cousin Clover! Notice Ellie is in Clovers carseat!!!! She wanted to be a baby like cousin Clover. When cousin clover had her baby food dinner Ellie even decided she needed some! It was pretty funny! Thank you Aunt Melissa and Cousin Clover for the pretty sun dresses and yummy snacks!

It just cracks me up how she was acting....silly girl! Cousin Clover thought she was CRAZY! She kept looking at her like "your nuts"!

Thank you to Great Grandma & Grandpa Benson and Great Aunt Tammy and Uncle Kelly for the Easter cards you sent Ellie! They were adorable! :)

Yesterday, Ellie and I met Rachel and Ava in Muncie for lunch. Ellie loves seeing her friend Ava. We had a great time! After lunch Ellie and I went to Brinkman's childrens shoe store and Target.

She loves playing with her piano she got for her Birthday.

Here she is playing! Notice she did have her hair done earlier in the day. She has decided lately she wants her bangs hanging in her face.

She was annoyed with me taking pictures.

Raye Playing Outside!

She looked so ADORABLE today! She had on one of her new summer outfits. I think baby capris are the cutest thing ever. She got 3 capri outfits for her Birthday and I love them! Thanks Great Aunt Kathy for the adorable outfit! :)

We went to PawPaw & MawMaw's for dinner. PawPaw decided to take Ellie outside and play with her car. She was definitely showing off for all of us.

She was mad at John because he wasn't paying attention to her. Daddy called to tell Nanny and Papaw it was time for her pink New Holland pedal tractor!

It's gonna be a fun summer with her! We can't wait for PawPaw to get the pool open. We are going to be there everyday! Here are several pictures of her riding her car this evening. It was just so cute! I couldn't stop taking pictures. Enjoy!
