Our Pretty Ballerina

Great Quality Family Time

We spent a great day out in Kansas. We spent the day with my Grandparents and Dad at their house. Ella loved running around smelling flowers with Papa and swinging on the swing. Then for dinner we went out to Gardner to see all the family. We had a picnic at the park which was right across the street from June & Damon's. Ella had so much fun running around playing at the park with all her cousins. Then we went back to their house and she enjoyed playing with the doll house and jumping on the moon walk. Hudson had fun playing with the other two babies and of course was all smiles as usual.

These boots were made for CLIMBING!

Ella loves going to the park and so does Hudson. Today for some reason Ella wanted to wear her boots to the park. She actually did really well climbing in her boots. Our little cautious girl went down the big twist slide all by herself today. Which is a really big deal since she never goes on any slides with out a little help from Mommy & Daddy. She even went down the slides for the older kids. She is getting a little bit braver. I think what finally got her to go down the slide is when she kept seeing little one year olds going down the slide by themselves. Hudson even went down the slide (with a little help from Mommy)but he really likes to swing. The park is just too much fun apparently because Ella never wants to leave.

Happy Mother's Day!

My Mother's day card made by Ella with a little help from Daddy. John only wrote what Ella told him to write and she did all the cutting by herself. Also she made me that pretty necklace.

This is a flower coupon card that she made for me at story-time.

Happy Mother's Day!

I am exceptionally blessed with a wonderful husband and two beautiful sweet children. John started the day by waking up early and getting us breakfast and me Starbucks (yeah). Then after church we had a great and relaxing day at home.

Baby Dedication

"I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what

I asked of Him. So now I give him to the Lord. For his

whole life he will be given over to the Lord." 1 Samuel 1:27-28

Hudson is truly a wonderful blessing from God.

What's in his mouth Now?

Hudson is at the age where he loves to put everything in his mouth. So I am constantly scanning the floor for Ella's little toys. He really likes to find a toy that he can carry around in his mouth. His favorite toy is a little cow that he can carry around in his mouth. If he can't find any toys than he takes his socks off and puts them in his mouth. He is such a little cutie.

Mulan or Ella?

Ella loves the movie Mulan. If you haven't seen the movie, Mulan does all kinds of karate moves, sings and dances around. So Ella loves to pretend she is Mulan and of course she loves to show Hudson her moves.

Ella the Model?

I took the kids to get their pictures taken yesterday. During pictures Ella was not that cooperative, but today she has been wanting me to take pictures of her. Also for some reason she went to her closet and got hangers for her to "model" with. She is my sweet little show-off.
