Ice cream cone anyone??

Ella and I got ice cream cones the other day, and this little guy ate mine. Every last bit of it:) I didn't mind because he is so darn cute!!

Reading

She was pretending to read, "The lion, the witch and the wardrobe" to her babies!! Love my little girl.

Summer fun!!!

Bowling!!!

We went bowling with Ashlyn, Kyle and James a few weeks ago and had a great time. Ella had fun bowling Granny style or off that metal thing (whatever it is called.) She would always shake her booty before she went:) It was a crack up.

Luke and Brysen loved the bowling balls.

Town square!!

We went with Grammy, Ashlyn and the kiddies.

Ella is finally getting more brave when it comes to the splash pad.... after four years. Although, she is still no convinced.

Luke wasn't too sure at first, and I was so shocked. But he warmed up to the idea and had a great time.

These two are trouble.

Miss Ella loves to go play at town square. She insisted on wearing her "shades".

Rock Climbing

Stewart loves to go rock climbing and has passed that love to miss Ella. She loves the chance to tag along with her daddy, and i can't believe how brave she is:) Stewart is so proud of her and couldn't be happier that she enjoys it. She also like to go to the climbing gym and will go all the way up the wall.

He is so busy....

But I kinda love that about him. He is feisty. He is spunky. He is full of life. He has things to do. Like I said, I love that about him. I especially love how happy his is. I love my kids, and man are they to insanely cute. (of course I am biased, since they are mine:)

Although now he can climb on the kitchen table which I don't love so much. And he tries to walk off the kitchen chair after he climbs on them. And he will also walk straight into the pool, when will the fear come?!?! Soon, I hope.

Smarty Pants!

(At the beginning of the year.She has grown so much.)

I can't believe Ella is getting so big. Her preschool graduation melted my heart. It was the cutest little thing ever. She is so sad school is over and still wishes she could go even in the summer. I am so grateful we found such a great teacher and one Ella just loved. I am so sad she will not be doing preschool next year after ten years. Ella learned so much this year, sometimes I can't believe how fast they learn and everything they pick up. One of my favorites is seeing her write her whole name out. She is so proud. She has even started reading cute little books. She has grown and learned so much this year. Even though she is MORE than ready for kindergarten I get to keep her home one more year since her birthday is in October. And i am secretly so HAPPY. I get to keep her one more year before she heads to school for FOREVER. I need it for me, especially since it is my first baby. So I am happy she has one more year of preschool.

Miss Kristi said something at graduation that I am trying hard to remember. These little people are so special and we need to remember they will be fine. One little girl had boots on and she said, if she wants to wear boots in the summer, she will be fine. If they want to wear sandals in the summer, guess what, they will be fine. If they want to color their hippo purple, it's Fine and guess what it is beautiful to them. And, it is ok to color outside the lines. So, I am trying to correct Ella less and let her discover what is beautiful to her.

The fun things we did at lieds children's museum....

L and B went in the hurricane simulator and liked it, who knew?

L pushed a red wheelbarrow around

And tried to get down after almost escaping from the play area for kids 0-18 months

L ran around and was his normal busy self

Then L decided it was a good idea to try and climb this tree (surprise, surprise)

We flew planes

E pretending to be a pilot, and a pretty cute one I might add;)

L being a crazy passenger

We pretended to check people out

E shopped away

We measured ourselves

B and L making their favorite person hold them, Uncle James.

We had a great time with Grammy, Ashlyn, James and B at the children's museum. My kids love, love this place and could stay for hours, which we did.
