Swimming

Gabe went to Target yesterday and bought Ella a swimming pool and a beach ball. Today was the hottest day of the year, so far. We were suppose to hit 90 degrees. We blew up the pool and filled it up. Although it was very hot today it was also very windy. Ella just played and played until she was shivering and her skin was purple. Noah just slept and enjoyed the sunny day. Hopefully we were have more hot days so Ella can enjoy her new pool.

Here are a few pictures of Noah that we took a couple of days ago.

Baking Cookies

Having a new little brother has been hard for Ella. She hasn't been acting like herself. She seems to need a lot more "mommy time" and "daddy time." So tonight we decided to bake cookies together as a family while Noah slept. Ella cracked the eggs, added flour, and the chocolate chips. She even added salt while we weren't looking. She loves helping us do anything. We loved spending the time with just her.

4 Years ago today...

Four years ago today, Gabe and I were getting married in Las Vegas. The last four years have flown by. I would have never thought we would be celebrating our fourth anniversary with a almost two year old and a one week old. Today we had a quiet morning together as a family and we all went to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. We ordered calamari for an appetizer and Ella ate more of it than the both of us combined. She wouldn't eat her french fries because she wanted the calamari. Noah just slept through the whole night. We are so thankful for our four years together and our beautiful family. We can't wait to see what the future holds for us.

Noah Henry s finally here !!!

Noah Henry has finally arrived. I went for my induction at 3:30 pm on May 27th. After about 10 hours of labor at 2:36 am Noah was here. He weighed 6 lb 4 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. And most inportantly he is healthy. Gabe, my mom, and Salena were my support during the whole thing. Thank you to all of them for all the love and support. Luckily, my grandparents and Steven and the boys came to the hospital to see Noah and myself. We felt so blessed having everyone there to bring Noah into our family. So far Ella loves being a big sister, she wants to hold him and kiss him all the time. I'm enjoying this while it lasts because I know it won't last forever. Noah has been such a good baby. He hardly fusses and has been such a blessing to our family. We will try to update as often as possible. Thank you to everyone for the love and support.
