My muffin eating a cream puff

I like giving Ella a little sweat treat after dinner as long as she ate her veggies and most of her protein. Normally I don't have too many sweets or deserts in the house other then animal crackers and shortbread cookies but I saw these cream puffs in the store today and I couldn't resist. Here is Ellas reaction to her first cream puff.

Pumpkin patch

Despite Ben and I feeling under the weather we decided to take Ella to a pumpkin patch today. We had a fun time. Ella loved riding in the wagon. They also had kiddie rides which was hard to convince Ella to go on. But once she rode the train she didn't want to get off. We tried to get her to ride the ponies but she had a melt down right as she saw it walk up. I guess she won't ever be a cowgirl. We also got to pet some chickens, rabbits, goats pigs and some bunnies. Ella had so much fun that I think we will go again before Halloween is over.

Girls having fun.

Amelie and Ella

These girls were so cute together at our play date today. They were laughing and playing together nicely. Well , for the most part they were nice to each other. ;-)

Sarasota Trip.

Zach and Ella watching one of the daddies making a joke. Grandma Mac and the Birthday girl!

Ella was excited to get a second birthday cake.

Some one wasn't happy with dinner that night.

Daddy was having more fun then Ella playing in the sand obviously.
She only wanted to sit in out laps because she didn't like touching the Sand

Having fun with daddy in the water.

Pt Reyes.

Sunday we took a drive to Pt Reyes which is North of San Fran. We drove around the park and even had a picnic on the beach. This pic was taken at the lighthouse. I wish we would have considered to go to the light house first. By the time we got to there the fog was rolling in so thick we couldn't see the water beneath us.

Ella's Safari Birthday!

Ella was getting a little daring and wanted to jump into the pool.

She jumped a couple of times.... or maybe flopped is the right word.

Ella couldn't wait to get her hands on the birthday cake!

Things are finally slowing down a bit here in CA. We had a busy couple of months due to planning two birthday parties and traveling to and from FL. Once my wisdom teeth come out I think I will finally relax! So I'm going to try and catch up here on the blog and post some pics from the past month.

Here are the pictures of Ella's birthday party in CA. We rented the clubhouse for the day which is attached to the community pool. The day was beautiful and warm. Warm enough to melt some of the decorations on Ella's cake. Other then the cake snafu everything went well and people seemed to enjoy themselves. Ella got a lot of great gifts and had fun playing with all her friends. We had animal masks, punch balloons, safari helmets and goodie bags for all the kids.

I'm kind of sad that I couldn't find the picture of the table with all the food on it and decorations. So if you see a random post in a few weeks of colorful looking table you will know it was from Ella's birthday party.
