Disneyland

preston, ely and i invaded zac and ellen's trip to disneyland a couple of weeks ago. they were gracious enough to let us tag along. the girls had so much fun together, ellen and i, however, had a rough time with the heat. it was probably about 95 degrees and we were there in the heat of the day. next time we'll plan disneyland for a cooler day.

on the monorail going into disneyland.

ely meeting minnie mouse. she was so brave!

on the fainting couch in minnie's house. she's fainting. she's so dramatic!

her first roller coaster. she was barely tall enough for the ride. she doesn't look happy, but she wanted to go on it again.

naptime!

it was a fun day!

thanks to zac and ellen for letting us tag along on their trip. ely is still talking about going to disneyland with annika.

Wait! I forgot!

PS
Happy Birthday Andrea!

Tessa's Birthday Party

we went to tessa's birthday party this weekend. tessa is just one of the friends that ely has made in our home church. ely had a ton of fun at the party. there was a bounce house, swings and lots of snacks. her favorite part was having daddy throw her in the bounce house.

Gardening with Ely

we did some gardening in our concrete garden today. ely had fun getting all messy until we found some worms in the dirt. she was a little more hesitant to put her hands in the dirt. her favorite part was watering the plants.

Our First Angels Game of the Season

we went to our first game this weekend. we won so it was a great game. ely had fun too. i had to take her on a walk all the way around the stadium to keep her busy so i missed the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and part of the 5th, but she had fun. she didn't like the fireworks. every time they would go off she would clap and then cry. she saw everyone clapping so knew that's what she was suppose to do, but then cried. she's always been scared of fireworks.

here we are singing the beisbol song. ely sings this every night before bed.
