The Great Outdoors

What a wonderful day! We had such a great time outside with our sweet daddy on Sunday afternoon. The weekend, for the most part, was stormy and rainy, so when the sun peered its wonderful self yesterday we didn't hesitate to enjoy it!! Here's some pics from our eventful afternoon... Ella looking over the bridge above the pond behind our house.

Mommy and Ella still throwing rocks and watching the fish swim beneath us.

Ella making sure we were paying attention to the waller (water)!

Getting some sweet love by the waterfall! These ARE the moments!!

The azaleas are in bloom, who could resist?



You can't see me, but I'm making "fish" faces and she's so tickled!

Lovin' on Daddy...Ella loves to kiss, I believe this is one of the very first things that I taught her to do. I'm very affectionate and it was important that I could get love and kisses from her whenever I need it! Thank you Jesus for my sweet family!!!


Ella's walking around carrying a fishing pole. As you can see, it doesn't have to be in the water, just in her hands. By the way, her overalls are neither too small nor too short. They are actually capri's, but we have short legs (can't imagine where she acquired those) so they are a little bit too long...last year they made great pants!

Next, Ella and daddy washed mommy's car!! Thank you both, it looks fabulous! And yes, Ella has pants and bathing suits, but she was knee deep in the bucket before I could even do anything, so I just took off the overalls and let her have at it.

"Workin' at the car wash!" Check out those curls!!

Well, ran out of soap, back to the bucket...it's WAY more fun!


Who knew washing a car could be so much fun!?! Remember when it was a chore? Now, it's just another chance for a photo op! This concludes our "redneck bath", hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!!
