Ellsie's First Year

I can't believe my baby is one!!! I guess I better start blogging again, at this rate she'll be in kindergarten next year! This won't come as a surprise to most of you, but I have absolutely LOVED being Ellsie's mom/personal stylist this past year. :)





From day one, Ellsie has had dad wrapped around his finger. He dances with her, sings in her ear, and tells her stories of all the daddy daughter dates they will take. I had to include this next picture, because it shows how truly whipped Lance is. He couldn't bear the sounds of her crying so he strapped on the good old sling! He knows at that moment it will end up on the blog!

This is how most their naps go~


Dallin, Ryder and Breckan are the best big brothers. They have always treated Ellsie so kindly and call her the "princess".....Oh boy.





There are many times when the house gets really quiet and I go to find the kids and I find them all together. A lot of times I'll find one of them reading to her or setting up her little people for her to play beside them. Melts my heart.








I used to get really excited with each new stage. Rolling, crawling, getting new teeth and saying new words; but now it makes me a little sad. This year went by so fast and I keep thinking about the milestones she has past and the army crawl I'll never see again. I have enjoyed every minute of this girl.





Happy Birthday Lou! We love you!!
