At the Oakland zoo with Stella

We spent a day with Auntie Stella and Uncle Jason at the Oakland Zoo last weekend.


Ella enjoyed the outing, but not so much the animals yet.

Check out this Ghetto goat with a brush in its coat.

This has got to be one of the nicest and juiciest behinds I've seen!

For All the Ella Fans

I know I've been a little lazy about posting lately, but I do have a few of Ella's recent pics to share. Hope you like it!! She's becoming such a big girl with her own mind now.

Enjoying her milk in her rocking chair.


Waking up in the morning.

Watching her favorite show, Yo Gabba Gabba, on TV.


Love those pigtails!!!


A little milk drunk.


She's been wearing accessories.


Check out Daddy's toes on Ella! Or are they just fingers that grew on her feet???

Little Picasso.


She knows to smile for the camera now.

Happy Birthday Manisone

We celebrated Manni's birthday at Range this past weekend. The food was DeLeeCious, especially my coffee rubbed pork shoulder and Manni's roast chicken, the skin was so crispy. How did they do that?


And then there was the chicken liver that was finger licking good.


The highlight of the evening was Tito's "not so subtle way" of telling us that BJ Novak was seated next to us. "Hey! it's that dude from The Office!!"

Uncle Ethan's book for Ella

Uncle Ethan created a riddle book for Ella with riddles he came up with over the summer. It was a summer project that went into the fall. Thanks so much Uncle Ethan!!! I can't wait to read it to her :)


She loves having her Uncle sit next to her at the dinner table too!
