Happy Birthday Aunt Sherrinda!!!

It's not often that I post pictures of anyone other than my beautiful baby girl.....but.......mom and I surprised my Aunt Sherrinda with a girl's night out for her birthday last night and I just had to share these pictures!

They thought they were just getting regular pedicures....

...but I ordered the Deluxe Pedicures for them!! Oh yeah! (I was getting my nails filled)

Aunt Sherrinda chose a nice orange fingernail polish....

....mom went for her typical pink/red color....

....but they both got a flower (with a diamond!) painted on their big toes!!! Scandalous!

We went and ate a late dinner at Carrabas...it was SO yummy!

The waiters gathered round and sang Happy Birthday in Italian to her. It was great...and not embarrassing at all!

We had a fabulous girl's night out!!! Happy Birthday Aunt Sherrinda!!!!

Introduction of Ella's first walker

We bought Ella a walker this week and she loves it!





Check out the top of her head. She's lost pretty much all of her hair but a few patches here and there and the curl on top!

Today is Memaw and Papaw's 50th Wedding Anniversary so me, mom and Ella took Memaw out to lunch to celebrate.

Grandma and Granddad Ketchersid live in Indiana.....but we want them to move here!!!! Think this smile will help??

I'm a Little Princess

The color isn't the greatest...but how cute is this picture???

Ella and Toby just "hanging out" while I clean the upstairs








Until she decides that it is time to eat

Pretty Face

I have this picture sitting by my computer right now and I just thought it was too cute not to share.

Floor Time

She seems to be a bit confused at first...

...but then she tries to reach for the toy...

...and when she can't successfully reach it...

...she returns to sucking on her clothes!!

Mommy's little angel!

Check out this curl!

Well, most of her hair has now fallen out.....but the curl on top is holding strong!

Vegas T-Shirt from Gran and Granddad

My parents bought Ella this shirt last year while vacationing in Vegas. Such a cutie!!!









I'm bored of the camera......

Ella's First Official Photo Shoot

Some of you may have figured out that the majority of the posts are by Kaylane and not me (David). However, I wanted to do a little post tonight.

The light was great tonight after we finished dinner. Kaylane and I took Ella in the backyard with the intent of doing a little photo shoot. I took WAY more pictures than the 4 I'm about to post, but most of them look the same, so I thought I'd share the 4 most unique pictures. (Remember to click on the pictures for a bigger version.)

I think we may try and do some of the same shots tomorrow but dress her up really pretty.

PS - A lot of people have told me that they have wanted to comment (ALWAYS WELCOME!!!) but couldn't figure out how to. I have changed the link to be a tad bit more obvious. Just scroll to the end of this post and look for the "CLICK HERE TO COMMENT" link. It's all cake after that. :)

Black and Whites

Here is one in color for those of you who keep asking what color her eyes are.

Put the camera away!!!

Below are lots of random pictures but I thought you would enjoy seeing them anyway!


Mark Ringo (David's friend) and Ella


Ella likes to bust out her scary eyes whenever I grab the camera!


Bath time begins....
