Happy Birthday Princess!!!

Two years ago we were preparing for our sweet baby girl to come into the world! We weren't sure if we could parent. With the nervous and excitement all mixed together there was no turing back.....

On June 26th at 12:32am

Our Princess was born. These were her stats:

Birth Weight: 6lbs 2 ounces

Height: 19 Inches long

We were immediately in love with this precious gift!

And NOW 2 years later we have this funniest, precious, sweet, wild, crazy, and out of control toddler!! She has us, as well as, everyone else constantly laughing! You never know what is going to come out of that mouth! For example: Steph  and jen were taking pictures of Ella yesterday and this is how the conversation goes: imagine ella trying to stand on her head....

Steph: how much sugar has this girl had????

Jen: I have NO Clue!

ELLA: (as she lifts only her head) Umm... Only 1 Lollipop!

hahahahhahah

Happy Birthday Angel!

Her daddy surprised her with a "sprinkle donut"

She was so excited about her treat!

See I told you she's so crazy!!!! 

We love her so much!

And let me tell you this big 2 year old is a total daddys girl!!!!! 

Happy Birthday to our sweet baby girl!!!!!!

Ella Speaking Spanish

we thought it would be fun to start teaching Ella a little bit of spanish considering thats all i know. And since she is a sponge we hoped she would figure it out =) In this first video she is counting 1-10!

And this video shows he responding a question in spanish with an answer in spanish! Its so hysterical! I can't believe how fast she catches on! She is definitely proud of herself!!!!

My sweet little white mexican baby girl =)

The first 5 Months of 2011!!!

I just can't believe that I have NOT blogged for 6 months!!! I have just been so busy with life! And I can say a little lazy to walk all the way down the hallway to go upload my photos and videos! I guess thats what happens when you have Ella and Austin all everyday =) Those two knuckle heads definitely make me crazy =) However I wouldn't change that =) In fact I love the craziness that starting at the end of August or beginning of September I will gain 2 more babies =) Yep baby Roberts and Miss Paige Daly! I know .. Im nuts but i love all those knuckle heads =)

Anyways Im going to be posting a bunch of pictures that I or my wonderful sister stephanie (i stole them from her page :)) took of my sweet girl! I hope you enjoy!

JANUARY: Our Mops group took an outing to this Jumper place in Chino Hills. Ella had so much fun following Alison around. She even tried all the big jumpers that her cousin went in (even if they were too big for her)

Ella LOVES going to the park!! The swings and slides are her FAVORITE!!! She's here with her two friends Kayla and Sandra from my Mops group!

Another MOPS outing we went to My Gym. The kids jumped on trampolines, jumped in pits and ran everywhere

FEBRUARY: This was not such a great month for my family. On Valentines Day we got news that Nick had lost his younger brother in a car accident. (this will be another post.) So as we headed up to Nick's grammies house we dropped Ella off at TT's house. Here she spend the day baking cookies and hanging out with her favorite people. ( photos from steph's blog) 

MARCH: We have had Play dates with a bunch of our friends that I either went to school with or meet at Mops. We always meet up at a park in Chino. Its so fun to see all the kids play together =)

Again pictures came from TT =)

Sea World Time!!!! We recently purchased Sea World Passes! Ella absolutely LOVES going there!!! She loves the "dolphin fishies, Shamu, Penguins and the Polar Bears" She Loves when her daddy gets to go with us =)

APRIL: We finally got Ella's hair cut!!! It was a small trim because its not like she has a ton of hair. But she was so cute being a big girl!

Easter Time! This year Ella was big enough to understand that there were treats and even some money in the eggs that she gets to keep and or eat =) She had two different times to celebrate Easter this year. The first time was with our Mops group and the second time was actually on Easter. 

MAY: Happy Mothers Day! Mothers Day was a little different this year. We usually spend the day with my family at my grandmas house. But this year Miss Ella decided to get sick. =( poor thing. We were in Urgent Care the day before MOthers Day and they said she had a bacterial infection in her eye. So basically she had pink eye. Since it was contagious for 24 hours we werent able to spend the day with the family. So nick surprised us and took us to visit my mom =) such a special day for us!

Another Mops Outing. Steph and I won Angeles tickets! Greg, Jen and Paige joined us =)

It was blazing hot but we still had fun =)

Sea World again!!! We always go with the gustafsons and the rodgers =) And  this time Aunty Laurie and Sam came witth us! again it was a success trip!!

Final Outing for this post!! We went on an outting to the Great Park in Irvine. We had never been so it was cool to check that place out =) we went on a carousel and we even went in a Hot Air Balloon!

FINISHED!!! Geesh that was a lot of photos!! I hope you all enjoyed the past 6 months!!! I do have a few post to still do so look forward to those!!!
