John and Buddha, at the beach. Me and mini me--tee hee! This was a fun day! 

Here are some actual pictures of the Brandude and his Mommy at the Portland Zoo.  

Is that buddha on his mommy? Oh, wait...no, that's just a stone hippo at the Portland Zoo :)

Last night had to say good bye to a dear friend. He's on to bigger and better things. Just a restaurant full of people who will really miss him! Jon H, future flight attendant-world traveler to be! Watch out for the dirty old ladies, and drop us a line every so often!  

Birthday hats yay! Doesn't daddy look thrilled?!! Thomas the train rocks! 

Here is the birthday boy! Notice the wild present debris in the background. Yep, he's three alright! 

Here is the infamous purple cake with green and circles. Branden loved it! 

Day at the Park

We had a greay day at the park today! Branden is getting soo big! 

Don't we all feel like this sometimes??!!

Hey everyone! Back from San Diego! Yay! Spent nearly a week there, forgot my camera, but hopefully in a few days will get the few pics off my cell on here! Saw the new edition to the Ellis family-Natalie. What a heart-breaker! Also, notice the new theme here....matches my state of mind. Watch for updates a little more frequently as well. Toodles!
