Kelli and Will's Wedding

Will and Kelli got married a few weeks ago. We absolutely adore them and couldn't miss their sweet wedding. We had a pretty full weekend and had rotated too many babysitters, so we just brought everyone...WOW! Brian and I knew walking into this we were nuts, but the kids actually did GREAT!
We managed to stay quite through out the entire wedding, see a few friends, and then off for a family date! I loved watching these two precious friends get married. God has amazing plans for Will and Kelli! Love you guys!

Flinstones

We got to celebrate our sweet girl for her last Music School Performance. I bought her a little bucket of lipstick, eye shadow and nail polish to give her that morning. She LOVED it!
During the week I took each of the boys to the store to pick out their flowers to give Ella. They were so proud to give her the perfect gift. I love watching my boys love on Ella Rose.
Ella and Campbell
*Campbell's mommy is a good friend of mine from high school. Her mommy made her sweet costume too. Ella loved playing with her, so we have some play dates planned for this summer.
Ella and Mommy
I absolutely adore this sweet picture. She is quite the Daddy's girl!
Ella and her sweet brothers
Ella and Lolli
*My mom helped me with the costume. It took a few tries but turned out pretty cute. Her necklace was a last minute add on, but was perfect!
Dino, Wilma, Pebbles and Bam-Bam
Ella and Finley
*Finley's mommy was a good friend of mine in high school. When Ella comes home from music school she usually only talks about Crew, but we hear about Finley a lot too:-)
While these kids had the most amazing car and were the cutest costumes, they danced better than they sang:-) It was a cute show and I can only imagine what a dance recital will be like next year!

So long Albee!

Alex is taking a 5 week class in Colorado. Brooke did a fun dinner party before he left to celebrate him and say "so long!" I told her that sounded too sad....
The kids had a great time of course! My kids are horrified that they won't see Alex for a while. We are praying for Alex and his sweet family. Only a few more days until he's home!

Park Dates

The boys last week of school I tried to be really intentional with my time with Ella. We decided to have a lunch picnic at the park. I called my dad and he brought my Poppy out for a lunch date. They got to see Halle and watch Ella play on the playground around the corner from Poppy's house. She was so proud and the boys were VERY jealous:-)

Girls...

Ella, Emmy, Maddy, Cadence and Grace

Beth, Kerri and I met at the park for the afternoon. Sweet Megan came to watch the girls while we chatted. She took this picture of all the girls playing. So much fun!

Crawdads




Brian took Port on his fishing trip this year. They caught 972 crawdads!!! Port was so proud he actually held one:-)

We are potty trained!
Of course she did it by herself! She came in one afternoon and told me she went poo-poo in the potty and didn't want to where pull ups any more! I put her in some big girl undies I bought and she's only had a few accidents! Thank you Jesus for making that so easy:-) Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
