Father's Day/Mima Dee's Birthday Party!

We had a fun party to celebrate Grandpa & Mima Dee! We hung out, watched a movie, opened presents & Ella's favorite - ate cake! Ice cream cake from Marble Slab that was amazing!! Thank goodness for leftovers too! Yummy!
We had a great time together and got to celebrate 2 special people!
We love you guys (and Bisa too!)

Fun with Friends!

Since we are staying with Mima Dee this summer, we have had a chance to not only spend time with family but also reconnect with friends! It is awesome! We have gone to the water park with Beth, Mary Beth & Sam. We had a great time with Ella even being a big girl & trying the BIG slide on Mommy's lap...of course she screamed her head off when we went under the water at the end & swears to never do it again...At least she tried! We took a water camera & have to finish it up first then we will post those pics as well.
We also had a play-dinner date with Becky, Scott, Evan & Eli the next day! I had a great time catching up with the grown ups & getting to know Eli. Ella had a blast playing with Evan & was complaining about leaving at 11pm!
we had a great time & look forward to lots more time with friends!!!

More pictures from Daddy!

Daddy has sent us some more pictures from Qatar. Such a different kind of place as the pictures show the desert & camels but also the BIG city & skyscrapers! He is doing well and has a great assistant from the U.S. named Brandon that is keeping him company not only working but playing lots of PS3! :) We (Ella & I ) are looking forward to the big move & seeing Matt but will miss everyone SO much!!
Keep the pictures coming Matt! Well, Brandon took these...so...Brandon keep the pictures coming!
