Guess whose One?

I can't believe a year has passed since our precious little girl came into this world. What a blessing you have been Ella Rose, you have added so much joy to our lives. Happy Birthday baby! Love Mommy & Daddy

Weekend with Alex

This weekend we went to Jacksonville to visit my cousin Alex and the rest of the Prine crew. Apparently, in my absence, Alex has been taking steriods as well as growth hormones because he has turned into a giant. He was really impressed with my walking skills. Also, I got to see Aunty Erins' new diamond ring, bling bling!

My First Bull Ride

Tonight we went over to Amelia's house to watch the Gators win the National Football Championship! I got to ride my first bucking bull and couldnt stop giggling. I think I want to become the first female professional bull rider.

GO GATORS!

Christmas: Take Two

We got to celebrate Christmas again when we got back home with Meme and Grandaddy. Check me out dumpster diving into my presents.

Back on the Road Again

The first thing I did when we got to the house was run over to my beloved set of wheels. As you can see here, I had to do a bit of work on the engine before I could get behind the wheel. Ahh it feels good to get back behind the wheel and drive on the right hand side of the road again

Bon Voyage

We had to say good-bye to Nana, Grandpa & Uncle Mick today. It was sad. We set out for a long trip spanning three countries (Australia, New Zealand & U.S.A) over 5 flights and 55 hours. I really perfected my walking in Melbourne during a 7 hour layover. Daddy counted 67 steps in a row, that's my record!

The flights back home were long! We met an eight year old girl from New Zealand that wanted to play with Ella the entire way back (nice at first, annoying after 5 hours). In addition, we never realized a little eight years olds feet could smell so wretched! We pretended we were sleeping on our final connecting flight so we would be left in peace and we heard an overhead page by the flight attendant asking for Ella's parent to press the call light and I.D themselves b/c another little girl wanted to play with her! When we flew into Salt Lake City the scenery of the snow capped moutains was breathtaking.

Rottnest Island

Bry & I went to Rottnest island on New Years day. Located 19 km off the coast of Perth, its home to the Quoka (a large rodent animal only found here) and no motorized vechiles (you bike around everywhere). Click on the collage for a closer look.

 

Happy New Years!

For New Years we headed to the Oyster Bar in Fremantle to catch up with some of my old high school friends. Happy new years!

Playing with Nana

I love to play with Nana outside. We run and laugh and she takes good care of me.

Hanging Around

Busselton Jetty - The longest wooden Jetty in the Southern Hemisphere

We visited Busselton Jetty in Western Australia. It is the longest wooden jetty in the southern hemisphere. It is 1.3 miles long!

Trip Down South, Western Australia

We went 'down south' to Dunsburough in W.A, a famous surfing location. The beaches and terrain are rugged and the surf great. We had a ball with Uncle Mick (pictured surfing here).

Giant Tree Top Walk

We drove to Walpole, Western Australia (6.5 hours south of Perth) and completed the walk with the giant trees. A suspension bridge gradually takes you up into the trees so that you get a birds eye view. This was spectacular and one of the highlights of our trip.
