While the guys worked on the swing set us girls went to my niece's princess birthday party. Ella & Malia have matching dresses and they were excited to be Princess Twins for the day. They had so much fun getting their make-up done, painting their nails, playing dress-up and making cute little sandals.

John in the CA

The Tigers

(Ella's Soccer Team almost all girls)

Ella just finished her last game and she did so great. For those of you who know Ella she is all girl and I didn't know how she would do in soccer. She did great. She was always right in the action and when she would get knocked down, stepped on or pushed out of the way she didn't cry like I expected she jumped back up and ran right after the ball. Her and her friend Gwen were about the only ones on the team that would always try to go for the ball. I am so proud of my little girlie-girl.
