Ellie is 4 years old

Ellie had cupcakes at daycare and cookies at school then cake at home. Needless to say we crashed after our sugar rush last night.


This is her teacher at the daycare. She is a wonderful teacher!!


Before the party Ellie took her typical pretty little princess pictures

She thought I should take one too

We had a really good turn out for her party. It was much smaller than last year but when you get that many girls in the same room it turned out to be just as loud. She was soo excited about all her gifts. Mama your cake was a HIT!!!!! Granny, Troy got a great picture of her opening your gift. You can see the excitement on her face!! She is so ready to go outside and start riding her new bike.

Ellie in Pre K. I did not cry...I teared up some but I did not cry. She is just beautiful..

Her walk to "big school"




I wish time would slow down just a tad. I feel like they are growing so fast I can't keep up. I have some really great kids. Thanks God...

The boys on the first day of school. Yes, I know Rebel has his eyes closed and a fake smile but I will take what I can get.

Tallyn did not make it through the morning without having to change clothes.

5th grade..can you believe it? I can't...it was just the other day that it took him 20 min. to speak a single sentence...he was so sweet...still is.

8th grade...I can't believe I have an 8th grader. Last year of jr.high.....remember how he used to be obsessed over Dragon Ball Z...he is still excited to go see the new one coming out.

The hard part is I can see a man and not a little boy.

This is the dress Ellie pick out for Disney on Ice. It is The Little Mermaid dress. She will also use this for her Halloween costume. She is so excited about going.

Rebel and his friend Ben in their 3D glasses for some scary movie they rented.

The boys make sure that Ellie will be able to take care of herself if they are not around. I think she can hold her own.
