We had the best time on vacation. Elli was a blast in the water and pretty fun on the sand too. She had some classic statements. Here are some to keep you laughing.
1. A truck released its air break and Elli says, "Uh Oh Mommy. Truck tooted!"
2. Since we all slept in the same room, I didn't sleep as well as the other two. Elli woke up to Brent's snoring one morning at 5:00am. When I asked what it sounded like when daddy snores, Elli said,"Hooooooonk!"
3. We went for a walk down by the boats one evening. An older gentlemen saw Elli and said to her, "Hi, sweet girl." Elli replied, "Yeah!"
We love our little girl:)

Elli looking at the fish at the aquarium. She said she was scared when the sharks came up to the glass!
Elli riding the carousel(sp?) with daddy. She was kicking and squealing from the car when she saw the "horsies going fast!" But was of course straight faced while riding. Classic Elli!
Elli helped daddy build a big princess sand castle. She did however tell me that she was yucky and I needed to help her wipe off the sand.
Aunt Heather bought Elli this float for her birthday. She, as you can see, was "scared" of it and ran away from the pool when we put it in:)
We couldn't wait to walk on the beach, so we headed over the first night. We put Elli down in the sand only to hear and watch her scream for about a minute. Then, she was better when we got her in the water. She changed her mind and decided sand was okay.
Some friends of ours across the street are moving to Michigan and said we could have their play set. Elli is very excited about the new swing and slide. She was climbing up to go down the slide when she looked at me and said, "uh oh mommy. I need to holp a hangle." I too was confused until she reached up to grab the handle. Apparently, she was saying "hold the handle!"
That's right. We are the proud three way owners of a 1987 Ford pick up truck. It is big, noisy, and lots of fun. We used it for the first time to take lawn equipment over to the rental property. Elli loves it too.
Elli told me she needed a "pichure mommy" because she was wearing a pretty dress. She even asked for a bow for the occasion. She is pretty, but I hope I am not creating a monster who needs a picture every time we put her in a pretty dress:)

Aunt Jenna, Brent's sister, graduated from Cedarville University on May 3rd with her nursing degree. Elli was very excited to see her after looking for her in the crowds of people. It was a special time with family and celebrating her hard work. Congrats Jenna!
These are some pictures just because she is cute in her new birthday clothes and new toys!
