Camping at Deception Pass

This was Ella's 3rd camping trip, but the first that was just our family. We learned from our friends that a "baby jail" is important for taking a mobile baby camping. We went to Deception Pass State Park and had a blast. It rained over night the 1st night, but other than that it was gorgeous. We had a ton of fun and Ella did great!

The many faces of Ella...

...needs no explaination.

Ella meets her Florida family.

Damon's cousin Clint and his wife, Lisa, and their kids, Cailin and Ashlin, came to visit WA a few weeks ago. So Ella got to meet her cousins and I guess second cousins or something like that. Cailin and Ella became fast friends!! We even managed to get a picture of all the kids sitting together; from left to right Ashlin, Cailin, Ella, Cooper, Sadie.

Ella goes to Cali

Ella made another trip to California to visit all her friends and family. SHe spent half the time in Burbank, and half the time in Coalinga. She got to hang out with her cool cousin Evan. She also met her future husband, (hee hee) Mason Andersen.

Ella is Crawling!

Yikes...Hurry...baby proof!

Ella's 1st Hike

Damon and I were feeling adventerous the other day and we decided to go for a nice easy hike. It turned out to be a mile further than we thought and much steeper. But, Ella did great on her hike (in the baby bjorn) and we all enjoyed lunch at the top before heading down. I think Baguette may have been the most tired out of all of us!

Ella's Stands Up

I'm in for it huh?!? Ella has begun learning how to stand up. She's not quite crawling yet, but I guess she feels like she can move onto other skills at the same time. She is so proud of herself every time she gets up!
