Things we've been up to

I have a bunch of things I want to remember and pictures to have on here, but don't really want to do a separate post for each one, so here goes with our what we've been up to.

Eating yummy Aggie Ice Cream.  Ellie has had a cone before, but not a really yummy strawberry hard serve ice cream.  She loved it!  April 16, 2012

We went to 1st Dam to have a picnic and feed the ducks.  April 21, 2012  Ellie and Patrick kicked the ball around.

Ellie loves watermelon

 We hiked up to Stokes Nature Center for nature night and Patrick's brother, Derrick came.  May 2, 2012

Ellie loved throwing rocks in the river.

She also loves her Uncle Derrick.  She is always so excited when she gets to see him.

Ellie's friends all got together for a little picnic.  May 10, 2012  Here she is with Dutton Booth.

They all decided they should play in the rocks.  Peter Ahlstrom, Dutton Booth, Ellie and Shaylee Bassett

Grandma Judy brought these punch balloons up for Ellie.  Patrick and her have had lots of fun having balloon wars.  May 6, 2012

We spent the weekend and Grandma and Grandpa Browns.  May 12, 2012  They got a fun sprinkler.  It took a bit to get used to it.

Then she dove right in.

And decided she needed a drink.  I love how she is squatting down in this picture.

Ellie has always been a fan of Patrick's blanket her got for Christmas.  She insisted on taking her nap with it the other day.  I was shocked when she slept for 4 hours!  Then when she woke up, she really didn't want to get up at all.  She just cuddled back into the blankie.  May 23, 2012

We did snake bubbles one night.  They were lots of fun for Patrick and I.  Ellie had fun chasing them and popping them all over.  She was covered in soap:)  May 21, 2012

We've been having lots of fun around her and have been enjoying the sunny weather!
