The last days.....


We are in the last days.... of pregnancy!!!  Yay!!!  Ha ha   Although we (especially me) are so anxious for Ellies little brother to get here, we are trying to live up the last days of Ellie being an only child.  This is the last time she will have 100% of our attention 100% of the time.  So here is what we have been up to:

Tom does Ellie's baths everyday, and he makes it interesting.  Lets just say there is never a shortage of bubbles.....    In these pictures Ellie is trying to look like her Grandma Starich! :)

 I love this picture!  Ellie is such a Daddies girl- no question!
After hearing in conference that every kid should have a picture of the temple in their room, we took Ellie down one morning and let her run around on the grass while Dad took pictures.





 Who are you and where did my daddy go????
 Hangin out with cousins!  Look at Ellies new cousin Owen, he was born on March 4th.  He is soooo cute, he looks like a little doll in this picture.
Playing dress-ups with Grandma Paula.  (of course you know she made the dress-ups, and also the cute skirt in the Temple pictures)

 Swimming with Dad!  She loved putting her face in the water spouts.... usually mouth open! 


Coloring easter eggs!

 And finally after I had to convince Tom.... Ellies first haircut!  If you don't see her a lot you might not appreciate the difference.  But she just had lots of whispy long hairs.  Makes such a big difference!

Look who learned a new trick or two.....


Whoo hoo Ellie is walking!!!!(well kinda)  She has exactly 10 weeks to get REALLY good at it before we add another non-walker to our home.  I prefer only one "non-walker" at a time!


Ellies other trick...

Another Ellie trick.... this is so cute in person because she giggles the whole way down!


**Ignore the large pregnant lady in this video and focus on the cute baby, Thanks! :)

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

Happy Birthday to the best Dad in the world!!  You are so fun and can always make me smile, laugh & yell.  I love morning times with you snuggling in bed and having bath time with you.  (No wonder I'm such a Daddys girl!)  Thanks for all you do for me and Mom.  WE LOVE YOU!!!!
Love, Ellie

She got her cake... and ate it too!!

Ellies 1st birthday party was a hit!!!  She had lots and lots of people she loves there (although, some were very missed).  Highlight of the night was her diving into her cake.  Her face was covered shortly after blowing out her candle, even before we could get her clothes off.  Thanks for everyone that came and helped.  Ellie says thanks for all the fun toys!!!
No question this girl likes chocolate!!
What can I say she's a chip off the ol' block
This is called "double fisting it"!
