May already?

It has been a LONG Loooong LllllooooonnnGggg time since I last blogged. So I guess I will clue you in on all the juicy details.

For starters Alex and I had our first anniversary on March 20th !

We decided to take a nice road trip out to California!

We stayed at Alex's sister Kelly & her boyfriend Dereks Shag pad on the beach in Santa Monica!

 Potty break

 Egg induced coma

 Frolicking on the beach

 Cool view from the parking lot of Dereks work

Fun night out!

Dancing with her favorite Uncle Derek!

Grandma Ellie & Grandpa Ed May also came to visit baby Ellie!

It was so wonderful to have finally met them!

The Fun doesn't end there!

We also had some cute moments around the house...

 Ellie at 1:00 am amusing herself in her crib.. this is her reaction to me trying to spook her.

 Ellie gave up bottles for gatorade

 Alex spooked me in the shower ... ha

 Alex  and Ellie playing ... so tender

 Who needs a pet dog?

 She thought she would try a binky out for size..

She didn't like it very much.
