Summer Weekends

First of all, how could you not smile waking up to this face everyday!

We've had a fun and busy couple weekends!  We had two wonderful bbqs last weekend, and I forgot to take photos at both.  This weekend, Grammy and Pop pop came to visit for the day.

Ella went swimming and showed how strong she is with pop pop's water weights...

The next day, we went next door to celebrate Owen's second birthday!  That's Owen's little head popping up at the end of the table...

One of Ella's favorite people in the world, and probably the name she says most...Emma!

As most of our friends know, we're pretty strict when it comes to Ella's food, and she rarely gets sweets, so you can imagine her excitement when we gave her a mini cupcake at Owen's party!


And finally, I have to recommend the L.L. Bean Extra-Large, Open-Top Boat and Tote Bag...they are inexpensive, very cute and hold a TON for the beach/pool- it's the only thing that will hold our towels AND all of ella's pool toys...not to mention in comes in navy, my current fav...LOVE IT!
