Ellen

I know this is about 3 1/2 months late, but this baby of mine, is quickly growing into a little toddler. Ellen is one! I can't believe how fast the time has gone! She is sweet and smart and easy to smile. She loves her sister and never seems to stop eating. We sure love this little girl.
Her stats at 1 year:
Height: 28 1/2 inches
Weight: 19.5 pounds
Head Circ: 45 cm

She is such a joy and we love having her in our family! Love you baby!

Oh and her 15 month stats:
Height: 29 3/4 inches
Weight: 20 lbs 3 oz
Head Circ: 45 1/2 cm

Fall Creek

Ottley Family Reunion 2012

Every year my mom's family has a big, and I do mean BIG, family reunion. This year it was at Fall Creek. We have come there many times and it was fun to take my girls (steven was working). We only stayed for a few hours because it we got rained out, but it was fun to see family I hadn't seen in a few years! Gotta love my mom's brothers and sisters, this is all 7 siblings.

 Keith looking awfully deep in thought!
 Great-Grandpa teaching Kate how to use chalk and a blackboard.

 Ellen loved being outside!
 This was a 'dry' tent for the kids, which they used plenty.
 Isn't he so cute? They sure love great-grandpa.
 This is only 8 of the little girls there. Not sure how many, I never counted them all.

The Crew...

Pack Saddle Lake

 We went camping for the first time as a family a few weeks ago and it was so fun! The girls did great in the tents and sleeping bags! We had food, fun, and a took a slippery trip down to the lake. Kate loved every minute of playing with her cousins, she talked about it for days after we got home.

The Zoo and Feeding the Ducks

We recently went to the Zoo and the girls loved it! They got to pet a donkey and sit on the tiger. WOW! It was really fun and the animals were really active. We love our little family.









Feeding the Ducks by the River
The girls loved this, but Ellen was a little offended that we were giving her bread away! It was really cute.






St. George

So I've been a little behind at blogging lately. We went to St. George in May with our bestest friends and had a blast! Love you Jess and Brian!
