IT'S ALL ABOUT ELLA...the highlight of my Summer!

The before and after pictures of my beautiful daughter Tiffany. The birth of her two children was like day and night...very long and hard with Caleb and a "stop & drop" (as the nurse called it) with the new baby Ella. Little Ella was born about 5 min. after they got to the hospital...very shocking...very wonderful! Tiff didn't even have time for any thing to be given to her...natural birth all the way!
I'm so proud of her, she's a wonderful mommie...everything is going very well, this baby is "pure angel"...she never cry's, nurses super well, is so huggable. We are so glad she's here, I can hardly wait to hear her call me grammy!
Tiffany suffered with such awfull sickness for 9 months..she deserves such an a little angel. I'm so glad she's got a daughter...a forever friend! I love you Tiffany!

Ella is here! This picture makes me think she is half way between there..and here. I can only imagine the excitment for her, as she was leaving Heaven to come to Earth..what must that be like?! Lots of hugs and kisses happening for sure!

WELCOME TO YOUR WORLD LITTLE ELLA...filled with family to love you!

I got a call late one evening, the guy on the other end said; "Get up here now!"...click...about 5 min. later, another call.."the babies here!..You'd better come now!" So, at 1:00 am, I jump in my car, heading for a 31/2 drive, arriving in Sandy at 3:30 am. On the way over the mountain ranges, I saw... elk, deer, white owls, a coyote, a cougar and a meteorite shower that looked more like fireworks! I thought, "What a night for a little girl to come to earth!" "She must be very special"...and she is! Welcome to the world little "Ella Mae Askeroth"...and to male it even more meaningfull, she is being given the name of MY dear mother, Ella Mae Lemon..how sweet is that?! I know how pleased my Mom is about that! And, I know they both must have a giggle about it too!

I got to spend 9 days with Tiffany, it was so wonderful..I felt so meloncoly driving home..missing them already!

Caleb, holding his little sis for the first time..taking it all in..he is so sweet with her..calling her; "Cawub's baby!"

A very proud and happy grandma and grandpa (OR) grammy and pankaw as caleb calls us! Welcome out 19th grandchild into the world...I pray that her earthly experience will be a good one! I know she will have a good home to grow up in, and that will give her a good start on life.

"How big are you, sweet little Ella Mae Askeroth?" "As big as my bunny rabbit!"

This makes me want to go back and be in those baby years again...I want more!

This baby looks right into your eyes and...she SMILES! I can't even begin to tell you "how sweet she is!"

Ella always holds her little hands in such a cute-femmie way, I just love that!

~NOW THIS IS LOVE~

~I made Ella this soft mink-like blanket..she looks so sweet on it~

It was fun to be at Tiffany's, she tried cute little outfits on Ella and we'd all stand around ooing and awing about how cute she looked.

Lisa, Tiff's older sister...I think holding babies makes women "baby hungry!"

~Lisa's Natalie and Brickelle..loving on little Ella~

Two of my beautiful daughters; Lisa and Tiffany...Lisa and her girls stopped in to see the new baby, it was fun to have them together..I love that!

I love little ruffles on baby girls bottoms, especially when they get to walking...Look at all that hair...SO cute!

She's playing..."I spy grandma"...Look at that sweet mouth!

My little Miss Strawberry...aren't her little arms just SO cute the way she holds them up...you just can't kiss this baby enough!

I'm sorry to be such a proud grandma..but.."aren't they cute?!

~ Little Ella...the most beautiful flower of summer~

I just have to tell this about Caleb...Tiffany was in Desert Book store and they'd walked past this painting by Greg Olsen..they turned around to see Caleb staring up at it for a full minute. Tiff said to him; "Do you like that picture?" and he said; "Jesus walking!" (Now the translation).. Caleb has a red polo shirt and pants just like this..he REALLY thought it was him and Jesus walking together, the little boy in the painting looks just like him! If we could all be so pure and sweet as a child!
