Playing Outside

It has been finally somewhat nice outside. So Ella has been wanting to go outside and play. Especially since we took her to soccer class she is always wanting to go out and play soccer. But Hudson has had a cold and it has been pretty windy, so he has been enjoying watching Ella from inside sitting in his highchair.

Science Fun

We took Ella to a Science class for 3, 4 & 5 year olds. They played with magnets, mixing colors, painting, and using a magnifying glass to look at different objects. She had a lot of fun but she still doesn't like to get messy or wet.

John and some of the guys went up to Lawrence see the parade and go to Allen Fieldhouse. They were able to see the players up close and even got some autographs. John was able to get Russell Robinson, Darnell Jackson, Mario Chalmers and Sasha Kaun's autographs. It was hard to get autographs because some of them weren't signing.

The Next Soccer Star.....

A little boy took her soccer ball and after that she always carried her ball with her

.....Probably not (well at least not yet). We took Ella to a soccer class to see if she would like to play soccer this year. She did pretty well but we need to toughen her up a little bit. She cried a little bit when a boy accidentally hit her with a soft bouncy ball. I am sure by next year she will be used to get hit with all kinds of things by her little brother. So soccer will have to wait till at least next year.

Ella's Little People World

Little People Park
Little People Town

Ella has a great imagination and she created a town, school, and park for her little people.

Bring on the Cereal

We tried Hudson on Rice Cereal today. Ella my little helper was so excited that she was able to feed him. She got a little frustrated because he kept grabbing the spoon but she eventually tried to hold his hand down as you can see in the picture. He really seemed to like it.

We are the CHAMPIONS!

#1 KU

2008 National Champs

While watching the game John was getting a little into it and we had let Ella stay up too watch just the first couple of minutes. She was talking to the T.V. just like daddy. She would say things like "Come, on KU", "I can't believe they missed it", "Oh, My goodness" and then of course "Go KU, Go Jayhawks." It was pretty funny watching her get so into the game like her daddy. Later when John went to check on her, he told her that KU was winning and she said "thanks daddy." She was excited this morning when she found out that KU had won. It was a great game.
