video fun!

Here are the videos I promised!

(March 5, 2011)

This is one of Ellee's favorite things to do!  Don't ask me why, but she loves to run in circles!  And she especially loves it when someone is chasing her! : )

This one just cracks me up!  We got the XBOX Kinect for Christmas from Jason and Emily.  She has seen Shayne play a few times.  This is her imitating him! Every time she sees we are doing something with the XBOX she will yell "XBOX" (It is voice activated) and start waving her hand.  Too cute!

Auntie Sarah can always make Ellee laugh!!  : )

forever behind update.

I feel like I am forever behind on posting to our blog.  But, it's okay.  I used to stress myself out about it, but lately I have felt okay about it.  I have a toddler, a baby on the way and I work full time!  I've come to realize that sometimes I just don't have time. : )

So, here are the events of the past month and a half!!  We have been busy! : )

Ellee loves the outdoors!  Especially when it's spending time with her Daddy!  She is a true Daddy's girl! 
For some reason Shayne was outside in the freezing cold rain and Ellee wanted so desperately to be out with him!  So we bundled her up in her raincoat and rain boots and sent her out for a wheelbarrow ride! : )

She spent a good 20-30 minutes out riding in the wheelbarrow!
And Charlie had fun following them around! : )
 "Hi Mom!"
 Knock Knock, "Mom, I'm ready to come in now!!"
 Let's just say Ellee got lots of use out of her 1st pair of rain boots this year!

Ellee on "love day"
Trying to get a good photo of her is kinda hard these days!  She has a mind of her own!  So this is the best I could do, LOL! : )
 Valentine's Day Oreo Cookie!

Now that I am almost 29 weeks pregnant with Mr. Tucker, I guess I should share my 24 week prego pic!

Ellee has discovered she likes the window sill in our living room.  She is so funny, she will climb right up into it all by herself.  She is become quite the little adventurer!

(March 6, 2011)
My 2 Aunts and Uncle live about a hour North of us.  We thought it was time to go visit!!! Especially because Emily was in town!  We don't get up there enough to visit and I wish that wasn't the case!!  I love spending time with them and Ellee seems to also!  We had a blast catching up!

Ellee was supposed to take a nap while we were on our way up there, but that didn't happen!  So shortly after we had lunch she was out for the count!  Good thing she has always been a good sleeper and will pretty much nap anywhere!! : )

My Mom and Greg took a 3 week trip to New Zealand this past month.  Since my Mom was gone my sister watched her for the 1st week and a half, but Ellee got to stay with me at work the 2nd week and a half.  It was challenging to have her there the whole time and let me say, I am thankful my Mom is able to take her for the majority of the time!  It was fun to have her though and the girls at work really enjoy her!

My co-workers enjoy Ellee so much that they are constantly bringing her treats! My co-worker Amy got her this outfit!  I love this color on Ellee!!

Another day at the GAPP house
 Trip to Target, Ellee's favorite place to ride!
 Avoiding the camera again!

(March 17, 2011)
St. Patrick's Day is so much more fun now that we have Ellee!  We really got into it this year!  I made her a shirt and leg warmers to wear on this fun filled day of green! : )

Fabrics I used for Ellee's shirt!
(Picture quality isn't the best because I took it with the camera on my phone.)
 Finished shirt and leg warmers.  At Target they were selling knee high socks for adults so I got the idea to turn them into leg warmers!  It was super easy!  I just chopped of the foot part and took some of the extra material and sewed it to the bottom of the leg warmers!
Adult Knee High Socks + Sewing machine = Toddler Leg Warmers!! : )
 Ellee's handmade hair bow!
 GREEN pancake batter...
 equals SHAMROCK pancakes!!! : )
 St. Patty's Day wouldn't be complete with out GREEN fingernails!!
 Here are some of my favorite shots of Ellee in her shirt!  I found a cute skirt at the local consignment store to complete her outfit! : )
Mommy and Ellee (I'm 27 weeks & 2 days here!)
You can find all the rest of the photos HERE!  You can also see how cute she was last year!! : )

Here is Miss Ellee "helping" Daddy rake on one of the rare nice days we have had! : )

Well, I guess that about wraps it up!  I told you we have been busy!! : )  I have a few fun videos that I want to post, but those will have to be later. : )
