It's a baby!

This is our "official post" ... we are pregnant! Or I am, I guess! We heard the heartbeat today, so now we can make it official! We're seriously excited, since it's been a long 3 years in the making! The baby is due March 15th ... and I just can't wait! Ella is quite thrilled and is pulling for a baby girl. Although just today she seemed to finally accept the idea that it might be a boy. She has been giving us girl name suggestions. They are as follows: Chloe, Zoe, Vinny (yes for a girl!), Maya, and Aleeya (or something like that). We go in for an ultrasound in a couple weeks, and I can't wait to see the young one! Anyway ... just wanted to share the GOOD news! Love you all! Julie

Family Bowling

Ella went bowling for the first time. It was almost depressing how cute she looked in her bowling shoes! Each time she'd roll the ball down the lane (an average of 2.5 mph) she did this awesome "Go me" dance. She was just as supportive of Mom and Dad too!

Soccer!

We had our friends Josie, Noah and Jonah come over and play soccer. The kids sure had a good time, even if there were a few injuries!

Dress up

This is Ella's latest dress up outfit. Before we took the picture she also had a black "fur" 1/2 jacket on. It was very "classy!"

Mud Dance

This is Ella's "Mud Dance" ... enjoy! (Hopefully it works!)

MUD is awesome!

Today Ella played with some friends, in theory it was supposed to be a swim party, but it turned into a mud party. And it was so funny! They pretended they were Mud Monsters. When it was all over and they were cleaning up, Ella said "This sure is the greatest day in my entire life!" Oh to be a kid!

Camping at the Coast

We had a great weekend at the coast camping and playing in the sand with some friends of ours. Enjoy!
