Houdini

One day I put Elliott in the shower and went to finish loading the dishwasher. I went back to check on her and she was gone! I checked all the back rooms of the house, called her name several times couldn't find her. After a few seconds of panic I saw the trail she had left from her escape and found her doing her favorite thing...watching T.V. with her accomplices hippo and turtle in hand.

Mommy's Little Helper

Elliott loves to help with chores around the house. She always helps Grandma Debbie with dishes. And if she's taught me anything it's that you can always look your best while cleaning...notice the fancy shoes. She is a mini-Wonderwoman!!!

There's No Place Like Home...

Trick-or-treating with Mommy and Daddy around the neighborhood as Dorothy.

Enjoying some candy, with her little dog too.

Pre-trick-or-treating prep, testing poisoness apples and taking pictures next to pumpkins for Mommy's sake.

"I don't think it's poisoness, I've had like 10 bites and nothing's happened."

This is Elliott's first apple. After this she wanted one everyday for the next 3 weeks.

"Now will you try some Tucker?"

Hulk Smash!!!

Don't make me angry!...Elliott as the Hulk for a Halloween party.

Picture Perfect

My friend Becky took pictures of Elliott for me. Here are some of my favorites...

Special Thanks To:

Becky Holbrook for the awesome pictures!

Amber Horn for making the jewelry, it's beautiful!

And Patrick Jackson for his participation in providing me with this special baby girl.

Did I just?...whaaa? Don't think about it!

These are a few of Elliott's favorite things...

Making funny faces!

Playing in the water!

Eating of course!

Even if it means stealing bread from innocent ducks.

Playing in Tucker's house.

Playing in dog food and dog water! Oh yeah, this is the best!

And Elliott's most favorite thing of all is doggie rides! Don't judge until you try it...

Beach Baby

We went camping at the beach again this year! Only this time we had to actually watch Elliott and make sure she didn't drown herself. She had so much fun!

Elliott loves our friend Brittany. So does Stephen, he renamed her Brickme.

Daddy played with Elliott alot...or maybe he was just saving her life again.

She has no fear and would run straight into the ocean.

After finishing her own cupcake she finished Nixon's too.

Always travel in style and with a buddy while on vacation. It's so much funner!

Happy Birthday Kevin!

Today is Kevin's birthday, happy birthday Kev! He went to fly in a wind tunnel. It was awesome. There was this skinny guy there whose cheeks were flapping everywhere and it looked like his arms would snap any second whenever he flew. So hilarious, we all laughed hysterically whenever he went in the tunnel. Anywho, Kevin looked like a pro, flappy face and all.

4th of July

We had fantastic 4th of July! We traveled up to Grandma Anne's house in Newman and spent the weekend swimming and relaxing with relatives. So much fun!!!

Family pic at the Gustine 4th of July parade.

Don't let this picture of fun fool you, this was the worst parade we've ever been to.

Poor kid, she just doesn't know how bad it really was.


Grandma Roxanne and Elliott waiting for the fireworks.



Took to the water like a fish, she loved it!


Wonder who she got that sweet hair from?

Fireworks are amazing!

At the Races

It's a miracle! We're updating our blog! So Pat and I went to a race with his family...who in their right mind would really get a rush out of watching a bunch of cars go around in a circle 50 times? Lame. My allergies kicked in, the air smelled of rubber and exhaust, my butt hurt from sitting so long, and it kinda made me dizzy watching those cars go in a circle. So suck it races! The only exciting part was waiting for cars to crash. Patrick and I passed the time by playing scrabble on his phone. He won.

Pat got hungry. Stupid cars, they just drove right into his mouth.

Us trying to look excited to be there.

Look at this Pat-sized car! It got jacked so they just picked it up and carried it away.

Sometimes I just carry Pat around in my pocket cause it's easier.
