Happy Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we stayed home. We started the day by watching Daddy run a Turkey Trot 5k. Then we came home and enjoyed drinks, appetizers and a great turkey dinner. In the evening we decorated our Christmas tree. It was a great day!

Colby's first Thanksgiving. Ella wore the same outfit for her first Thanksgiving!

Disney World

Our trip to Disney was wonderful. We had fun celebrating Ella and Colby's grandmother's birthday while visiting the parks. One of the highlights of the visit was having dinner in the castle. Ella was so excited to meet the all the princesses! It truly was an amazing experience! Be sure to check out the rest of the pictures from our trip on the slideshow attached to the blog.

Colby Loves his Jumper

We can not believe that Colby is already three months old. He is growing so fast! A few weeks ago he tried out his new Jumper. Here are a couple of pics of him trying it out for the first time.

Happy Halloween

This year Ella was Tinkerbell. She had fun trick-or-treating with Emma and Sophie!

Like Sister Like Brother

I was curious to see if there were any similar characteristics between Ella and Colby. I went through some pictures and tried to match up pictures of Colby with Ella at that same age. Here is what I can up with. What do you think?

Ella LOVES to sing lately. She often sings the ABC's, Rock-a-bye Baby and the Itsy Bitsy Spider. In this video she is singing the Itsy Bitsy Spider. She loves to sing it for willing ears! Enjoy :)

Colby is one month old today! How time flies! He is now a 10 lb baby who loves to eat, sleep and be with his big sister! He also loves to look around at bright colors and is starting to talk a little. He is definitely a happy boy!

I must have been tired when I uploaded the first video because there were several mistakes in it. In this new video I have fixed my mistakes and added several new photos. :)

Ella's Swim Lessons

A few weeks ago Ella attended her first set of swim lessons. She had such a great time! She LOVES to be in the water! It was a parent/child class so Casey and I took turns swimming with her. She learned to swim under water, on her belly and back, blow bubbles and kick her feet while paddling her arms. She will go onto the next level this fall.

Ella stands very proud in front of the pool.

Ella really liked jumping into the pool. At the start of swim lessons she needed to hold onto one of our hands to jump in. By the end of the lessons she was jumping in like this!

Hi Daddy!

Look at me floating on my back!

Ella the fish!
