Ella's Kindergarten Graduation

Our baby girl graduated Kindergarten today……..makes me sad and proud all at the same time!!  She had a speaking part in the program and she nailed her line……she practiced so hard, and she did fantastic!!  She also wants to be a Ballerina when she grows up…..who knew!!??

Her 'gown' she picked out was beautiful, so we had to get some pictures prior to the program.  She of course 'worked it' for the camera!!  I was shooting and so was Evan (with his DS)……I think she 'worked it' more for him…….she never does this for me!!

Enough of that……it's program time!!

Some friends I was quick enough to catch…….

Announcing her dreams to be a Ballerina!!

With her teacher, Mrs. Evans…….Evan also had Mrs. Evans, and she is Awesome!!

Proud little lady!!

With her good friend Beth.

Evan enjoying the festivities!!

With her cousin Hadley after all the excitement!!

Evan in HATS…...

Evan had his First Grade program a few days ago.  HATS was the name of the program!!  Everyone got to wear their favorite hat for the whole program.  Evan even had a singing part, which required him to wear an authentic fire-fighters hat……..it doesn't get any better than that people!!

Getting ready to sing his line……..

He did Awesome!!

These Two......Make Me Smile!!

She loves umbrella's.......and HER new umbrella she wants to use every day!!  hahaha

He is our builder.......always creating and building something!  Just like his dad!!

When he's not creating and building.......he's learning and reading!  (or playing the xbox/ipad/ds  ;})

Chips & Salsa......our favorite!!

I love the conversations I am able to catch between these two.......I wonder what they talk about when I'm not listening!!

So.Much.Snow.

With all this beautiful white stuff on the ground and ice frozen everywhere, I couldn't resist taking some pictures!!  And of course there's been sledding!!  :}

Snow Ice Cream was made.......pretty yummy too!!

Poor kids couldn't even enjoy their swing set!!  ;}

And then it all melted in one day and flooded our driveway!!  Fun Times!

Christmas 2013

Some day I may actually keep up with this blog again......!!  Until then, enjoy my lateness!!  :}

Had to test it out in her jammies and everything!

Christmas Morning!!  :}  Santa was good to these kiddos.

Talk about a mess.......and they still hadn't noticed the wrapped entertainment center in the background that contained their new xbox, kinect and skylanders game!!  Crazy spoiled kids!!  :}
