Story time with daddy

Ella loves to read!  She even embellishes the story to make it more entertaining for us.

Ella's first recital

Ella broke in our new piano with her very first recital. For your viewing pleasure we give you TWINKLE, TWINKLE LITTLE STAR by Ella (and Mommy).


The first time Aunts

Ella was very lucky to be visited recently by Skyler's sisters, Niki and Noelle. Ella is their first niece and they instantly fell in love. Ella loved getting to know them! While they were here Ella took her first trip into Washington, D.C. She was a trooper and was admired by everyone she met. Here are some of the highlights of the visit.

The 3 month old beauty

Ella is one of the happiest babies that we know. The smile that you see in the pictures is almost always on her sweet face. We're grateful that she's extremely patient, which comes in handy since we're learning new things about her everyday. The past 3 months have flown by, and we couldn't be more grateful for this precious baby! 














Before and After

Skyler and his Dad, Ken, did a total transformation of our front yard. They took out all the shrubs and transplanted them in the back yard and successfully put in a retaining wall and tons of new flowers and trees. The final product is incredible! You can trust this dynamic duo with all of your landscaping needs!


 Taking a quick break from the scorching sun.

 The transformation begins.
