Ella playing

Ella loves to play with Ben's toys. Here she is "making music" with his stool. Silly girl!

Ben's last soccer game

When Ben started out playing soccer 6 weeks ago, he was not interested, cried that he didn't want to play, and sat on the sidelines with me the whole practice. Well yesterday, was his last game and he did AWESOME!! He has come a long way and was doing the drills during practice and actually chased the ball during the game. We were so proud!

Ella Pics - 6 months old

My good friend Gayle took these pictures of Ella just after she turned 6 months. They turned out soo cute!! Enjoy!

Ella clapping!!

Ella started clapping and screeching with excitement at the same time. It's so darn cute!! Just had to share with everyone!

Well I'd love to say this was Ella's first time in a swing, but Luke took her once and didn't tell me until just now. So here is Ella's 2nd time in a swing.

Ella eating...

This video was taken after Ella's first attempt at food. The first time she wasn't very into it at all but as you can see, she was all over it this time!

Ella playing...

Luke was packing...I was working, Ben was watching tv. The next thing we knew it an hour had past and Ella played all by herself the entire time. What a good girl!

Day with Grandma Betsy

We took Ben ice skating in Boulder and visited with Grandma Betsy as well. It was a fun day.

Ben ice skating with daddy!

Here are some pictures of Luke and Ben ice skating. Ben had a blast as you can see.

Ella is sitting up!!

Here is a video of Ella sitting up and knocking down these buckets. She does it everytime you stack them for her. She is also babbling a little bit in this video... I can't believe she'll be 5 months tomorrow!
