Ella's School & Swimming

Ella has started her own school since her school is over. She already has two students and they both love to sit at their desks and listen to her teach.
Alivia's first time in the pool.....

.....and she LOVED it. She is such a water baby.

Our Little Graduate

Ella receiving one of her many awards.

Our proud little Graduate

Ella & Hudson with all her awards.

Ella's Kindergarten graduation was a very small little assembly. Her awards were Passing her Kindergarten sight words, Reading between 50-99 books (She read 90), Faithful attendance award, Turning in homework on time, Passing all Kindergarten requirements and the one she is most proud of the Fashion Star award. She also got all + 's (the scale is + or -) and 3's (on a scale of 1-3 and 3 means exceeds requirements) on her report card. She loves reading and really loves math. I hope that she keeps enjoying learning. Ella loved her teacher and her teacher is moving to first grade next year and she really hopes she can have her again next year. I can't believe we already have a graduate. Yes, she only graduated Kindergarten but it won't belong before it's high school then college.

Fort's, Fort's, Everywhere I look are Fort's

Hudson made a fort while Ella was at school for him and Alivia.

The kids have been really big into making forts all around the house lately. It is cute that they like to all play together. I know it looks like a mess but I try to overlook it because they are having so much fun.

Field & Track Day

Going down the big slip and slide........All the way down

Fill the bucket sponge race
You can tell how cold they all look

Sweet little Alivia cheering Ella on

Wrestling the alligator

Riding the tricycle around the cans

Throwing the hoola hoop around the cones

Ella's school had a Field & Track Day. They were suppose to spend most of the day outside but the weather didn't cooperate. It was high 50's in the morning and rainy in the afternoon. But they were able to get in most of their activities before the rain.

Alivia giggling

Alivia 8 Months

Her sweet little smile

If you look closely you can see one tooth and another one coming in.
She loves to crawl and she even crawled under the ottoman and then she got stuck.

Getting pictures of Alivia is getting harder because once I try to take a picture she starts crawling towards the camera.

Our little sweetie is 8 months old. She is really growing up too fast. She has been crawling for about the last 3 weeks and she is becoming and expert in getting into stuff. Also she has been pulling herself up on everything and so we had to lower her crib. Alivia is a little sweetie but she does have an onery side. Your sleeping is still a work in progress with you walking up two times a night. Big Brother Hudson has become the Alivia police and he will make sure she doesn't put anything in her mouth. Ella is a great big sister and still loves to always match Alivia. Can't believe another month has flown by.

Mother's Day 2011

What a great day Mother's Day. God has truly blessed me with so many wonderful things. John wanted to make me a Mother's Day dinner so he got up early and put in a roast so it could cook all morning while we were at church. He did a fantastic job it was delicious. John and the kids also surprised me with some very beautiful flowers. It was a great and relaxing day spending time with my family. Thanks to John for a fantastic day.
