Happy Birthday Ellie Jeanne the Queen

march 18, 2007
i can’t believe my baby girl is a year old! i can remember the first moment I saw her like it was yesterday. i was overwhelmed with love for her! my family called me a baby hog for so long, cause i rarely would let others hold her, cause i just wanted to keep her close and whisper i love you to her. she has added so much to our lives, and her tiny body almost can’t contain her strong spirit.
i have to admit that on her birthday i was very sad and weepy all day cause i just couldn’t believe that a whole year went by. i’m very happy though that she has learned so much and taught us even more this last year.


we are so lucky that we have so many great friends in our life to celebrate special occasions with us. we had a party for elizabeth and just about everyone showed up. it was great to see so many people that we care about support us once again.















Will and Emily, with their cute baby Grechen. Grechen is about 5 months old and weights a little more than elizabeth...but hey I think Chubby babies are so mcuh cutier cause you can squeeze them a little tighter without worry :)









it was so funny watching Elizabeth eating her cake, she was being so danty. Just barely even making a mess so Gabe, my nephew could hardly contain climbing up and showing Elizabeth how it was really done.











my grandma chalmers called me up and didn't know what to get elizabeth. i asked her to sing 'somewhere over the rainbow' to elizabeth cause that has always been my favorite song that she sings. my grandma has such a magnificent voice and did a wonderful job and elizabeth just sat there and listened.












my cousin joe and his adorable daughter brighton. his beautiful wife merial wasn’t able to come, but they are so special to us!









elizabeth got so many cool presents which have kept her very busy, so thank you all so much!












landon & mary and brighton are our very dear friends! we try to spend all our spare time with them cause they are so fun and always make us laugh :) brighton and elizabeth will be very good friends!!












Bryce and Rachael with there handsome son Quintin...who Ellie and him have an arranged marriage :)
