Through My Daughters Eyes

Ella taking pictures of herself

Random people at the airport


Ella just got her very first digital camera! I thought the pictures she took were so funny and random that I wanted to post them for everyone to see. I give the Fisher Price camera two thumbs up. Its durable and easy for kids to use. Ella can't get enough of it. Ella was busy on our flight home taking picutres of the clouds, other passengers, tray tables, and all the other amazing things on the airplane that she never once complained. I even got to read Breaking Dawn, which also get two thumbs up from me.

A pirates life for me.

One of the fun things we did while visiting my parents in Maryland was going to Anapolis. We took Ella on a pirate cruise, she learned pirate songs, searched for gold, and battled with other pirates.

Nick and I even got to enjoy ourselves while sailing around Anapolis. We saw the most outrageous yachts. The cost of one of the yachts we saw was only about 20 million dollars. So if I I save every single penny for the next oh I don't know 100 years, I could probably have one of those one day!

Greetings from D.C.

Our vacation to D.C. is nearly over. We’ll be flying home on Thursday after saying good bye to my dad who will be leaving for Iraq. My parents moved to the area about two years ago, and this is my first visit out to see them. I feel like I’ve done just about everything I wanted to do. We went to Anapolis, Baltimore, Arlington National Cemetery, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Spy Museum, and we even had our very own private tour of the White House. If your wondering how we were able to get a private tour of the White House my mom knows someone that knows someone that works as a first council attorney to the president. If you are ever headed to D.C. and would like a private tour let me know and I'll you give Rachel's email information. She loves giving the tours and feels like she's best serving the country when she serves the general public.

I don't think anyone could ever leave D.C. and not feel more patriotic after seeing such amazing American landmarks.

There’s always a first for everything.

Well I’ve finally created a blog! I’ve wanted to create a blog for awhile now, but I just haven’t found the time until now. I’m sure my blog will be very similar to everyone else, pictures of the family, stories, updates, and anything else I find interesting.
