Happy Birthday Ella

I can't even believe my baby girl is 3 years old today! It seems like just yesterday I found out I was pregnant, how excited and suprised we were! I had a dream early in my pregnancy that I was having a girl, so I pretty much knew I was going to have a sweet little girl. Ella has been such a joy in our lives. Since she was born she has always been so alert, and extremely active! She has grown up way to fast, she started crawling at 6 months, walking by 10 months. She makes us all so very happy, and is just so much fun to be around. She is the best big sister and helper around. Happy Birthday to our Sweet Ella! We love you soooo much!

Fun At The Circus

We had such a fun night tonight. We went to the circus with Chad's family. It was so much fun! It was the first time Ella and I had ever been to the circus. Ella enjoyed seeing all the animals, and especially enjoyed riding the big circus elephant and going for a ride on a pony. It was a great show and a fun night. We will for sure be going again in the future!

Ella was so afraid of this clown, she is clinging to Chad

Ella started preschool today! We were lucky enough to find one she could get into 3 weeks late. She loved it! She was so excited and ran right in, and didn't even look back! I seriously can't believe my baby started preschool! Where has the time gone? She will be going 2 days a week.It will be nice for Carson and I to have some alone time together, but we will sure miss her.

ASU Game

Despite ASU's upset, we still had a really fun time at the game Saturday night. My dad is ASU's biggest fan, and has had season tickets for over 20 years! We were lucky enough to get some tickets to the game. It was such a close game, we are all still in shock that they lost to UNLV. We will get Georgia next week! Going to the games always brings back such great memories for me. Growing up I would always go to the games with my dad, and I just enjoyed spending time with him so much! It will be fun when our kids are old enough to go , so we can carry on the tradition!!

Happy Birthday Pop Pop !
