Ella got a Nemo fish tank from Grammie and Pauba.
We set the tank up and then headed out to get a fish.
Ella chose a blue fish and she calls him Ella-Nemo.
She loves watching Ella-Nemo swim around.
It is safe to say this birthday gift was a Huge Hit!

Daddy's Girl

Elliott and Ella have such a special bond.


I adore watching them adore each other.

Ella had some fun times with Auntie JoJo and Uncle Gavin.
JoJo took her to the beach to watch Uncle Gavin surf.
It was Ella's first time at the beach.





JoJo said she was saying "Hi Nemo" to the water and that she would cheer Uncle Gavin on with a "Go Go Go". Too cute.



Thanks Auntie JoJo and Uncle Gavin for taking such good care of Ella!

Where a KID can be a KID!

Ella spent her 2nd Birthday at Chuck E. Cheese in San Diego with Mommy and Daddy, Uncle Gavin and Aunt JoJo. She had an amazing time!
She met Chuck E.
She drove him around and even gave him a big kiss. (this is probably why she had a runny nose the next day)
She rode on Clifford.
She played on the phone.
Daddy and Uncle Gavin had some fun of their own.
Ella rode on a time machine.
She really LOVED that one.
She played.
She played.
And she played.
It was a wonderful time for all of us!!!
