Trying to keep up with the big kids and play games at chucky cheese ...
She really liked the little horses on top of the cupcakes ...
Ellie with the birthday boy ...
As you can see ... Ellie was pretty wiped out .... so she took a nice little nap on Uncle Chris's and Daddy's shoulders ....
Boots, Banty and Ellie were sharing some yummy strawberries and cool whip ... Ellie is all about that "keem" (aka cream) as she calls it ...
Don't they look like they are in deep conversation ?
scoping out what Banty has left in her dish ....
Ellie LOVES to roam the ranch ... she wants to be outside ... outside ... outside ... In this picture her and Banty are getting ready for another walk ... Can you tell she is excited ?
Uncle Rooster and Aunt Courtney came in for Dinner ... I know it was a quick trip, but we sure appreciate you guys coming ! We love and miss you two !
Uncle Rooster tickling Ellie's tummy ... she was laughing so hard ... 
Playing with Daddy and Boots in the hot tub....
Boots and Ellie in the hot tub ...
Ellie was so tired after the hot tub ... we couldn't get her dried off and in her pajamas fast enough ... Here she is snuggling with Banty before bedtime ...
Ellie loves Sadie (Banty's little dog) ... they actually play together a lot ... Ellie always looks for her and ask about her ... They have a bond that kinda surprises me ... Here are a few pictures of them hanging out one morning ... looking out the front door ...
Pretending to be asleep in Sadie's bed ... when Ellie pretends to be asleep, she snores ... and usually starts giggling ... it's to funny ...
Playing with Mommy's old doll house...
Paw gave Mommy this doll house many years ago ...
Riding her little horse ... There are real horses to ride at Boots and Banty's ... but Ellie just wanted to ride this one for now ...
Working out with Boots ... Those 1 lb weights were just her size ...
Banty was trying to make a bow with this raffia ... but you can see how that went ....
We had an exciting gymnastics day ... Banty was still in town from Mommy's bday weekend ... and Daddy's just happened to get to come home from work really early ... There electricity went out in there building and they got the day off ... (totally random, but we'll take it) So Ellie got to take Banty and Daddy to gym class !!! And this time Mommy got to take pictures !
We were so glad Daddy finally got to go and be a part of class ... He's been wanting to go every since she started ... but we go on Tuesday mornings.... (and no... I didn't blog that fast, this was last week ...)
She just zooms right down that balance beam ...
Flipping over the bar with Miss Cindy ...
Playing with the balls .... They get to do this every week and Ellie always runs to make sure she gets the purple ones ....
So glad you were able to come and be a part of gym class Banty !!
Daddy helping Ellie pop bubbles with her feet ... Every week they use a different body part to pop the bubbles ...
But Ellie's favorite is still popping the bubbles on her tummy ...
