On the road again .....

We just can't wait to get on the road again! We've been quite the travelers lately - Catherine Ellis has been on a whirlwind of vacations the past month - we kicked off the summer with a beach trip for Memorial day and the very next week she vacationed to Jasper, AL to spend the week with her Gran and Pop while I was on my Mommy vacation and David was working in California - 9 days of bliss for her I tell you! I don't think she fretted over us being gone for one second and I'm so thankful for parents that love our child as much as we do!

The following pictures are from Gran - she gets a HUGE thank you for taking pictures several times a day and sending them to David and me - it made the time away much easier! There are lots of pictures, so I'll hit the highlights:

Practicing driving the bass boat - I can't wait to fish with Daddy and Pop

Next I tried my hand at cutting the grass - I'm a driving machine!

I like to be chauffeured from time to time as well!

How does one cool off when it's in the upper 90's and the humidity is 100%?

Stripping down and eating ice - that's how!

Catherine Ellis was also out and about on the town - she attended church and looked mighty cute:

Ready for preaching!

Water baby!

Blowing kisses - thank you Gran, Pop & Meme for taking such great care of me!

This past weekend we packed up and headed back to the beach for a trip with the Greats (my Aunt and Uncle) - we had such a good time even if the beach was closed (Orange Beach)! We spent a bit of both days at the pool and ate lots of yummie food! We even stimulated the economy and did some shopping at the outlets. We were super excited about the hot air balloon festival - but it rained and we were not able to get out to see them this year! Hopefully next year. Thank you Aunt B and Uncle C for such a fun trip! We can't wait to do it again!

Nothing like a good toss in the air ... and I LOVE it!

Air time with Daddy ....

Mommy, this is great ... well worth the 4 hour car ride last night:)

I never forget my shades ....

Dinner at Tacky Jacks (and yes, another one of my lovely 'looks' - is this my child or what?)

We celebrated Father's Day on Sunday - this was David's 2nd Father's Day! Catherine Ellis and I thoughtfully got him a fridge for the garage so he can move his beverages out of our kitchen fridge - making more room for Catherine Ellis's food - and he loved it! What a wonderful, compassionate father Catherine Ellis has! She is so blessed to have such an involved and hands-on Daddy. She absolutely adores her Daddy!

I love you Daddy!

Cutting up with my best buddy!
