Swimming!

This last weekend was a bit of a crazy one... We had a great time on Friday when Ellie's Aunt Mandi came down with her girls for lunch, but when we tried going swimming we managed to get some suncreen in Ellie's Eye and had to go through some hard times and a trip to the Urgent Care place and we're fine, her eye was just a little irritated... I felt so badly... So Matt and I took her to State Fair and she had a great time in her wagon, but sadly I forgot my camera... But I didn't forget it on Sunday afternoon when we went swimming again!!! Here's Ellie with the 'Cooper Girls' and another of her with her new favorite thing riding on the raft! (And then sometimes purposely sliding off as her version of jumping in!)

Elephants...

We are all elephants!!! We have proof!!! Okay, well, we had fun trying to be!!!

Bubble Baths...

We've been really enjoying our bubble baths lately... We even like to give ourselves Bubble beards!!! We also like to try to lie on our tummy and kick our legs up!

Fun at the Quarry

We had a great time visiting our friends at Lannon Quarry! It was great to see Mark, Lindsey, Lexi, MaryAnn, Ned & Sophia!

Dancing, and riding a moster truck... These are just too cute! Ellie pulled me off the couch for a dance party last week (and we had a few of them, let me tell you!) and then we had a blast at our cousin's (Riley's) 4th birthday party! Thanks for the ride!!!

Dancing below... (Mind you, we had been dancing/spinning for a while by this point in time, so Ellie gets a little dizzy after a while, but as you'll see she gets right back at it going again!)



Monster truck ride below... What a birthday gift!!! Ellie had a great time simming in their pool, playing with their toys, eating popsicles and of course, her favorite... Riding a monster truck! (She didn't want to me to unbuckler her, much less get out!)

Fun in Appleton!

Well, on Friday we went to Appleton to visit Ellie's Aunt Mandi and cousins (Hannah & Callah) and oh did Ellie have fun! We went to the Building for Kids, and it's like a children's museum... Ellie particularly liked the water room... Here she's having a blast hitting a button to make the water go up... I LOVE this picture so much I changed my background to it (my last background was a picture of Ellie from LAST August...) I'm so lucky to have such a fun little girl!!! :)
Below Hannah and Callah built a very fun block-house and they let Ellie come inside for a bit... I think we caught Ellie and Callah mid-play time, but Hannah's smiling big!!! :) Thanks for letting us come visit! We had a great time!!!!

4th of July Weekend...

Well, Ellie had a blast at the fireworks and the waterski show and the next day we went to the parade... I can't believe how good she was! She giggled throughout the fireworks on her Uncle Terry's lap, and loved visiting with the Cooper Family... Uncle Terry showed her when the parade was coming the next day to get her excited!





Here's Auntie Annie and Ellie showing off their red, white and blue dresses!
Luckily we had the wagon with the shade as it got hot later on, thank goodness for radio flyer!!!

We had a great weekend, and got to see Grandma and grandpa Dornfeld on Sunday as well... We sat outside and got to enjoy the picnic table we found in the attic of the garage of the new house... I guess the last owners forgot they had it! Ellie got to eat some dinner there after swimming in her little blow-up pool!




Thanks for taking a peak! :)
