Saturday Fun

Last Saturday we had a great time hanging around the house and playing with Jack. He cracks us up all day long with the new things he is learning and discovering!

My little helper helped me unload the dishwasher...

Keep a lookout through this post- this little boy's new thing to do to this cheesy, fake smile. So cute!


Out to lunch at Taco Diner. Fake smile!

Having fun at the table.

So serious! Love those blue eyes.

Daddy and his little monkey.

Jack loves his daddy's water bottle. Check out the smiles in these two pics!


We have who knows how many toys here, but Jack prefers the hair dryer and straightener...

Happy New Year!

Better late than never on our New Years post! We spent New Years Eve with the Husligs, and Jack and Makenna enjoyed spending the last few hours of 2010 together.

The evening started out with a little playtime...


And then a little dinner. Makenna was nice enough to share a cookie with Jack. I think he's a big fan!


Next, Makenna showed Jack how the noisemaker worked.

These two were so happy to ring in the new year together! They celebrated on European time.

Ok, time for the hat to come off!

We can't wait to see what 2011 has in store for the Ellison family!

A Lazy, Snowy Day

We had a wonderful lazy Sunday last week. It rained all morning, and then the rain turned into snow. We had a great time just lounging around the house and playing with Jack!

We headed outside for a few minutes just to get some pictures...


Then it was back inside to play. Jack has just discovered crawling on all fours. I looked around the corner of the island and saw this little stinker digging in the basket!


Then he decided to make a move towards the camera.

There's nothing sweeter than that little face!

Jack loves to spend time with Ellie these days. We're not so sure if Ellie feels the same...

We Have a Splasher!

Jack has discovered the fun of splashing the water in the tub! Here's an after bath picture. Jack is happy and I am wet- so fun to watch him discover new things!

Merry Christmas, Part 3

On the day after Christmas, we hopped in the car and headed to San Angelo. We all had a great time with Grandma, Grandpa, and the Houston Ellisons.

Jack wasted no time getting on the floor and crawling around!

Roadblock!

Grandma sure was happy to have all of her grandbabies with her!

Mister Nathan

Three cuties...



Gift time!

Me and my sweet sweet boy...

Emily loved the princess dress that Jack helped me pick out for her.

Christmas, Part 2

On Christmas morning, we woke up early and headed to Mamaw Caryetta's house.

We got there in time for breakfast, so Uncle Ian helped out.

Open wide!

Uncle Ian spent part of the time running around as a storm trooper.

Meme helped with lunch...

I just love this picture of The Grinch!

A new drum for Jack.

Hmmm, we'll have to work on what to do with it.

Spending time with Pop.

Family picture...

After Mamaw's, we headed to Debbie's house to start the next round. Jack was very helpful with the gifts!

Reading his new book...

And chomping on his new cell phone.

So sweet! He had fun chasing his new car around.

He also enjoyed the small puppy.

Charming the ladies for a few minutes before bedtime!
