April Showers...

Bring June weddings! And this sweet thang is getting married in June so I helped host a bridal shower for her this weekend in Wichita Falls. Trey had to work on Saturday, so I had to go in town alone...again. I do not like having to go out of town without him. Trey grew up with Mikel and their families are very close, so I was excited when Trey's mom asked me if I would help with Mikel's shower. Isn't she pretty? The food table....I liked the apothecary jars. My sweet baby girl. She started picking her nose just for this picture. I guess she thought I record every other moment, big & small, so I might want a record of what was in her nose. I was in charge of the floral arrangement and can I tell you how much I LOVE this! I enjoy doing floral arrangements and as soon as I found out my job I knew exactly what I was going to do. And it turned out so great!I used mini oranges and Ella got to eat a few so she was a happy camper. No, not the ones from the vase. That would be gross!Can you tell I loved it? The only thing that gets that many pictures around here is Ella & yall all know how crazy I am about her. I would love to have fresh flowers in my house everyday!

Yay! No finger in the nose. Just that sweet tongue!


This is Ella's Grandma (Trey's mom). I wanted to get a picture of her with her Gigi (Great Grandmother), her Grandma and me, but Ella was exhausted and her Grandad came and picked her up so she could go home. She was running around being chased by two six year olds and was only on an hour nap, so she was just worn out. Plus, it is just exhausting to be that cute! . We went to her Grandad and Grandma's house after the shower to eat. This is her Aunt Lindsey and cousin Raelyn. Raelyn was not a happy camper and was exhausted too. She had been passed around and handled more than she cared for. You have to be quick to catch Ella, so she didn't have that problem.

Ella got her first taste of pickles that night. Oh, I thought she would spit them right back out, but boy was I wrong. She loved them! This is her Uncle Shane and her Grandad. She was having a blast with them outside while they were cooking on the grill.

We had a fun, but long day on Saturday. Before the shower we had gone to my parent's friends 60th birthday party which was also fun, but I didn't have my camera. Ella was wearing a white dress and there was mud in the backyard so we had a close call. That was my cue to leave and head on to the shower.
