Ella, the model


All of a sudden, Ella is becoming quite the cheese, smirking and smiling at the camera. Here she is with my mom.

Bon Voyage David!


Here's my mom's sister Debbie; myself; my mom, Ellen; my mom's brother David; and my brother, Brian.
This picture was taken the night before David headed back to Florida.

Hey, give me a ride!

Logan was riding Ella's tricycle, so Ella thought she should get to be able to get a ride on it!


















Handlebars are the wrong way silly!


Logan likes it too!


Ella and her cousin Logan. Logan likes the sprinkler too!

She loves water!

Ella loves playing in her Elmo sprinkler! Her face tells it all!






















Getting better


Ella is getting better at riding her tricycle. She's getting closer to actually being able to pedal it on her own.

Ella & Kylie


Here is Ella with her second cousin Kylie. Kylie is Charles' cousin Renae and her husband, Bruce's little girl. They're about 4 months apart in age! Kylie was there with her Grandma & Grandpa Metzger. Kylie was all about sharing her food, but Ella was a little cautious!

Ella in her dress

Here are a few good pictures of Ella in her dress. Cindy did a
great job of picking out a very cute one!


Getting ready....


























































Whoops!


So I'm a little out of order on the pictures....Here are the bridesmaids, bride and Debbie (Cindy's mom) right before the big event!

Standing up


Here are Ella & Colten at the front of the church.

Ready, Set, Go

With a little hesitation, Ella actually walked down the aisle with Laura and they met Colten about half-way. She made it!

When Ella got up to the front, she just stood there, until her daddy helped to show her where to go...















All clean



Here's Ella after her bath resting before the wedding...

I LOVE myself!


Here's Ella kissing the mirror in our hotel room. She really likes herself!
