I'm almost 4! April 2013

My Grandma gave me my first bath at her house! I got to have lots of bubbles, and even had her dog, Tinkerbell, come in to keep us company. I love being at MaMa's house 'cuz we do lots of fun things like have tea parties, play board games, eat peaches, and she pushes me on the swing in the backyard. She taught me how to "pump" so I can go higher, but I like it when she pushes me. We sing, "how would you like to go up in a swing." 

I am sitting on a Pumpkin!

My family always goes to the Branch Elementary Pumpkin Patch every year. My brothers and I get to pick out the ones we like. I think this one is perfect. What do you think? I am going to be a white kitty cat for Halloween. Hope I get lots of candy!

My 3rd  birthday "Tea" party!  Mommy made my day so special! And everything was just my size.

I love sports! Especially running!

My goodness, what has MaMa been doing with her time? It's been months since she wrote about me. Tsk, tsk. She needs to manage her time better. I have been growing up to be quite a little lady, playing with my dolls, pushing them in their stroller, going to my brother, Jayden's basketball games. Here I am right now:
(By the way, that's my dad and my brother, Addison shooting baskets.)

MaMa and I had a tea party. I invited Strawberry Shortcake. We did "cheers" and had lots of fun. I love going to her house and she loves me very much. Next time, maybe my brothers can join us. They were too busy playing outside. That's how boys are.

We had a blast at the Circus Vargas! What a great idea, Bridgett. I haven't been "under the bigtop" in dozens of years. It was great fun for all of us kids! Ella was in awe of the beautiful blonde lady hanging from the top of the tent, twirling, sparkling, mesmerizing all of us. Thank goodness we have our grands to take us to these special events.

I am 2 years old!

Here I am on the egg hunt at MaMa's house. I love finding those eggs! And inside there is money. Wow! Now I need to find out what to do with it. Anyway, there will be more time for figuring that out. Right now I am busy calling my brothers "idiot" and guarding my toys with my fist. I don't let them get away with what is mine.
I have decided I don't need a diaper anymore. In fact I don't wear anything, just in case I have to take a quick potty break. When I get dressed up, I settle for a princess diaper, only those will do. Life is just great being two! I really get what I want, and if I don't, I have a fit. That does it every time!

Happy Birthday, Memere!

Can you guess what kind of cake my grandma wanted for her birthday?  If you said chocolate, you were right! MMMM my favorite and hers, too.
I love you, MaMa!

Je taime, ma petite-fille!

I'm really not this small, I was on my knees at the Christmas Party MaMa and PaPa took me to. I guess I was a little tired and sat down for a minute. Boy, there was so much to do and I am so little that it just tuckered me out!  I ate pizza, frosted and ate cookies, played some fun games, and chased my brothers. I love these parties, I'm a party animal just like my Dad!

Trick or Treat!

When I put on my Goldilocks costume, I became a treak or treating dynamo! Something in that outfit gave me unlimited energy! I even kept up with my brothers! I just can't figure out how to open the packages the candy is in, so for now, I will just eat the paper. My Mom and Dad were MaMa Bear and PaPa Bear. We had so much fun. I can't wait for next year!

I walk, talk, and dazzle everyone!

Hello world! This is Ella Amberley and I am the bomb! I am now 16 mos old, and watch out. I can say MaMa, PaPa, Mommy, oggie, and lots of other things only I can understand. I only do that so I can keep the adults guessing. My favorite thing to do is walk everywhere and pick up things I can and can't have. I look to get approval, and my Dad gives it to me about everything! He's my DaDa, by the way. I mimic my brothers, (that drives them CRAZY!) and I love the beach! I have a pretty bathing suit that drives everyone wild! I am truly a princess!

My MaMa put me in the high chair while she helped my Mommy get ready for Jaxson's party. I got bored, so my PaPa Tom played peek-a-boo with me. It was so much fun! I love my PaPa, he's the bomb! I decided to wear my Princess crown from my first birthday. It wasn't the theme of Mario Bros., but it sure fits me to a "T" or is is a "P" for Princess?

Fun at the Park!

My parents and brothers and I went to the park and MaMa and PaPa met us there. We also took our new puppy, Kinsey. I got to sit with the "big people," while my brothers played on the slide and stuff. I got to go on the swing and it was so much fun! My Daddy tickled me! Then we all heard the magic tune of "A Pirate's Life for Me." That meant the ice cream truck was coming. Everyone but me got one. I was bummed. But, my MaMa gave me hers! Wow, it was good! I love my MaMa!

Princess Ella Amberley of Janowicz

It is finally official, I am the crowned Princess of Janowicz.  In this video you may see my humble subjects. I am a fair and loving daughter of  King Matthew and Queen Bridgett, who, by the way, are also my servants. I rule the kingdom, even though I let them think they do.

My pretty bow

I had a fun day with MaMa and PaPa at my house coloring eggs. I guess the Easter Bunny put in a really big order 'cuz we painted 46 of them! Of course, I mostly entertained everybody by crawling around in my pretty egg coloring dress (see the polka dots, sort'a like little eggies) Anyway, I had lots of fun playing peek a boo with MaMa.

Pretty Girl!

I am wearing my new jeans and Nike sneakers. Mommy loves this outfit on me. I like it because I can crawl everywhere and my knees don't get scratched. Sometimes I wear a dress, but then I have to be more careful. Today I am going to my brother Addison's first T-Ball game. I hope the wind doesn't mess up my hair.

I'm crawling!

I know, it's hard to believe, but I am mobile! And I have two bottom teeth! Wow, I am one step, I mean one crawl away from total freedom and if anyone gets in my way, I can bite them. I can get to my brother's stuff a lot easier now. My Mommy makes sure I have suitable crawling clothes on to protect my knees, they are getting pretty dirty! Oh well, that's what washing machines are for, right? I had my first taste of Silly Putty today. Really overrated... What I'd like is a chance to get into that collection of rocks my big brother, Jayden, has. Yummmmm! I wanted you to see my pretty Christmas dress. It also works for Valentine's Day. I'm so cute! Everyone says so. Time to go exploring! Carpe Diem!

My new hair bows

My grandma gave me some new hair bows, they were my Auntie Amber's when she was a little girl. I really think they are pretty and I will wear them a lot.
Jaxson got a little too close and made fun of me, so I let him have it. Take that, you bratty brother! Maybe you won't do that again. I swear, those boys think I'm just a pretty face. I'll show them!

Happy New Year!

My goodness, it is 2010 and I haven't gotten to show you my Christmas Dresses! I have two and my Mommy let me wear them both (at different times, silly.) I must say, I was a hit no matter what I wore. This one was my lounging pj's, giving me some knee traction for rock and rolling. MaMa and PaPa kept giving me presents, but I just enjoyed eating the paper and sucking on the boxes. My brothers were very busy playing with their toys Santa brought, but I got all the attention from the adults. It sure is fun being the only girl. Now about that car I have my eye on for my graduation...

Grown ups, you gotta love 'em!

I could possibly be the cutest baby girl in the entire planet. Honestly, I can't help it. I have a beautiful Mommy, handsome Daddy, and look like movie stars grandparents. And another thing...they LOVE me soooo much. I can hardly stand it. In fact, sometimes I just cry to see what they will do to calm me down. For now it usually involves a bottle, some rocking, walking, standing on their heads. It's all in the training. Just wait until I'm older and I cry when they won't give me the keys. We'll see about that. Until then, I'll settle for food, love, and rapt attention. And my brothers, so far I have them wrapped around my little pinky. Watch how I work, boys, and earn, I mean learn something!
