My new toy

This post is not about a new toy for Ella or for Parker...it is about a new toy for me!  Dusty surprised me with an early birthday gift.  I had mentioned wanting a really nice camera, but I wasn't thinking this year.  However, he asked our good friend, Greta, for some tips on cameras and decided to give me an awesome birthday present!  I was shocked!  It is simply awesome.  Well, not so simple...it is going to take me a while to figure out how to use everything. 

For Christmas, I am asking for my own little scrapbooking area in our basement.  He is going to build a scrapbooking table...I will be able to leave my supplies out so when I have extra time (Ha!), I will be able to head down there and get some work done on my scrapbooks.  I'm hoping he decides to make it an early Christmas present as well! :)

Here are some pictures that I have taken with my new camera!  Thank you, Dusty!!

Ella had just returned from her stay in St. Louis...they were sure glad to see each other again!

Ella was very happy to see Wilbur, too!

Parker keeps us on our toes pulling up to everything and having no fear!

Ella is home!  She loves to put her babies all over the house and line them up on the couch.

Uncle Bobby, Aunt Traci, and Cousin Madalyn came over for a bbq.  Uncle Bobby and Parker were having fun making noises at each other.  By the way, I have to brag on my hubby.  He cooked the whole meal...bbq ribs, homemade coleslaw, homemade baked beans, potatoes & corn on the cob on the grill, and rolls.  It was all delish!  He's a keeper, don't you think? :)

Madalyn and Ella had fun playing on the swingset.

I love watching them play.

Ella likes to hold Wilbur's leash on our walks...luckily he weighs under 10 pounds!
