panhandle dubs.

today we went out first ever volkswagen cruise, and it was with the local vw group here panhandle dubs. there were quite a few cars that showed up for the cruise into panama city beach and then quite a few met up with us there. maybe a total of 25 cars all together, somewhere around there. anyways it was a good time, a little hot, or a lot hot!:P but all in all it was pretty fun. we ended up leaving early just because of how hot it was, BUT i got to go to one of my favorite stores, the world market, which they dont have where we live. so that was nice too. but enough typing. on to the pictures :)

happy fathers day!!

thank you nevin for all that you have done for me and ella! you truly are a wonderful father. we love you so much ♥:)

we'll always be best friends.. and soon they will be :)

drove out to biloxi yesterday to see the bestie, brittany gilmore, and her daughter delanie! it was wonderful! the kiddies got to play and us mommies got to reminisce about old times which is always fun. cant wait until july 24th to see them again! for ella's 1st birthday party!!

because sometimes i find these pictures online that i like so much. so i blog them..

step stepstep step

ella is walking!! like i mean full blown walking! no more crawling for this baby! i cant believe it. and she loves to climb, she has learned how to climb onto mommy and daddy's bed, and that's no easy task. it's a pretty high bed, at least for a baby. and if something is in her way like a pillow or our chairs ottoman, no no she wont go around it, she'll crawl over it! she's also learned how to flush our toilet, i dont think much good will come out of that until she's potty trained :P i just hope in that time no phones or cameras or remotes, well actually anything for that matter end up in there, but i think that is a little inevitable. i need to invest in some of those child proof toilet lid opening things. i think i'll go get some of those asap.

oh oh and daddys day is coming up. i know what i'm going to do, and i'll post about that once it's done.

but until then :) ta ta!

so in 1 week my daughter will be 11 months old. and then only 1 more month and she'll be ONE! i can't believe it. this past year has by far been the best year of my life. she's my world and i'm so proud to be her momma. it's really amazing seeing her grow from being a little newborn who cant even hold her own head up to a almost 1 year old who is walking and clapping and talking. it's the best feeling in the world being her momma and i wouldn't want it any other way!
