Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July Everyone! I am so grateful to live in America. When it all comes down to it, there is no other place I would rather be then here. When I think of how fun it is to go to another country, it is, but there is no place like home (America.) We just got back from Lake of the Ozarks, it was a fun and relaxing weekend. I will post about that later. I am grateful that Ella was born in America. She is 8 months old today. I can't believe that she is almost a year. She is just starting to crawl, she loves to say dadadada, she loves being outside, she loves the swimming pool, she loves to splash in the pool, she loves to blow rasberries, she mimics you, she loves her walker, she loves pattie cake and clapping as you sing the song to her, she loves to wave hi and goodbye to you, she loves her Baby Einstein, she loves Daddy's I-Pad, she loves looking in the mirror, she loves Backyardigans. She is definitely the sunshine in our home. We are really so grateful that Heavenly Father sent her to us. We love her so much!

Thank You Grandma Hess for the beautiful American Flag dress. Ella looks quite cute in it.
This picture of Ella holding a cucumber is for my Dad, and any of those people who appreciate gardens. We were super excited for when we came home today to find our cucumber this big in our garden, we picked it, and ate it tonight. It was pretty tasty. Ella was pretty excited too, she couldn't keep her hands off of it or her mouth.
