Video...Tired?!?!

This was SO hilarious! Elli was getting tired apparently while I was holding her on my lap. We had just finished talking to her Grandma on the computer, and she was tired...this is what happened...Not so cute of me...but look at Elli! :)

White Coat

Elli...and then the White Coat begins! This is the meaning of them becoming a Student Doctor, their lives to NEVER be the same again!







you didn't really think you would get to see a update without a cute pictures of Elli did you. This is the white coat, it was a blast!!!

Hammond's Candy Factory

So there is this great place in Denver called Hammond's Candy Factory, and as the name suggests, they make candy! It's divine! They make all their candy by hand and ship it all around the world. Every Christmas they donate more than 1 million Candy Canes to Santa. They have 9 candy makers that work all the time, training to be a candy maker is at least 1 year and up to 3! Clearly a career, not just a job...It is so fun, if you are ever here, you should go...it's free, they give you samples and then you can buy the delicious stuff! They also package, wrap and ship all their own stuff! SO cool, no one does that anymore...all by hand!!!

Alexis with our tour guide...she was SO not happy to have me ask for a picture with her...love you Lex!

That's our trip to the candy shop, look back for pictures from Tom's White Coat Ceremony...Love you all!!!

A little bored?

Tom and Alexis apparently got a little bored in the car on their way to Denver...Tom was wearing Lexi's sunglasses...yes they are pink. :) Love you babe!

Englewood

We made it...not set up, the only thing that is here in fact is my computer, but we are alive. Tom and the baby will be here in a few hours. Love to all!

Occupational Therapist!

Our time with Janice Elli's Occupational Therapist has come to a close, but she has learned so much, and grown a lot! Elli was having problems with her neck and turning to the right. She didn't have full motion of her head because of the way she slept in her wedge. We are proud to announce that we no longer have that problem! She even sat up at the office today for 38 seconds without help! Good job Elli! She is growing so much we can't believe it! Love you Elli! :)

Thanks to Elli's new bed she is sleeping much better and her head is taking on a better shape. We got the bed at www.napnanny.com you HAVE to check out the site, it's amazing! It's great for sleep and tummy time. Elli loves it! They are a little pricey, but so worth it! Thanks Gigi, we love our new bed!

Time with Cousins

Elli got to spend time with her cousins. Her cousin (my cousins daughter) came to visit from Arizona and we got the girls some matching outfits; all the great-granddaughters. Rebecca and I (Carrie's Mom) had photos like this taken when we were babies...so I wanted to do the same thing for our girls. We also included baby Crystal! :)

Elli and Carrie, they are 3 1/2 weeks apart, Carrie lives in Arizona.

Elli was ready to be done with the pictures, this is her cousin Sammy who lives in Idaho Falls, and Carrie. I think she was mad about the bow that I just put back on her little head. :) Mean Mommy!!!

Just a cute picture of Elli, this is at her Great-Aunt Nicki's house. We go there every fast Sunday for dinner with ALL the family...there are TONS of us. It's a blast! :)

This is Elli and Mommy, we are playing with our Grandma J. Elli loves to smile!

This is in loving memory of Uncle Spencer, she holds her hands like this often, because that's how they hold the guitar. :) We love you Spencer and can't wait to see you again!!!
