Watermelon & Country Time Lemonade

Thursday evening Nana, the kids & I enjoyed some fun in the back yard.

Nana bought the kids their very own bubble lawn mower.

They mowed and we ate yummy watermelon and drank good ole Country Time Lemonade.

Last Day of WEE School 2010-2011

Today was Bitter Sweet…Ella had her WEE School recognition and party.

This is today {the last day}.

This was the 1st day.

I can’t believe how much she has grown, changed and learned in such a short time.

I’m very thankful for her teachers, Miss Amy & Miss Jodi!  They both are WONDERFUL and LOVE teaching little blessings.

Miss Amy

Miss Jodi

Each class preformed a few sweet songs.

Each child received their diploma.

Then we enjoyed pizza and cupcakes!

Each child received this picture and each of the children wrote their name.

Chris and I are very blessed and thankful to have had the opportunity to send Ella to a Christian based Pre-School.

This summer is going to be fun, and in the Fall Ella AND Owen will both be attending.

Rose

Is the Cotton Tail rabbit that lives in our back yard. 

Ella has named he/she Rose. 

This bunny was around last Spring, he/she was a baby last year. 

Rose has grown some and LOVES apples!!!!

We have a Yucca plant in the corner of our back yard, Rose has made this his/her home.

The rabbit continues to run under the fence when we go outside, but has become our little “pet”.

Snow White Birthday Party

We celebrated Ella’s 4th birthday on May 14th at our house, with a Snow White theme.

Ella was treated like a Princess…she had lots of guest and received lots and LOTS of gifts!!!!

Uncle {my brother} gave her a Princess fishing pole…she was so excited about opening her gift from him, she HAD to open it before the party even began!!!

Uncle bought Owen a gift too…a race car, he LOVES cars and truck!

We played outside, ate hotdogs, cake and then opened ALL of the fun gifts.

Poor baby!  Owen fell asleep while swinging. Ha!

Ella & Georgia Claire {my Bff’s baby love}

Of course she got Zhu Zhu Pets.

She got her very own “credit card” {gift card} from Poppie & Oma {Chris’ parents}.

My dad {PawPaw} bought her this Texas Rangers shirt and 2 dresses…he did this all on his own, I was VERY impressed!!!!!

Miranda and her family got Ella the most perfect gift…a doggy that I don’t have to clean up after or feed! 

Thanks Miranda

My mom {Nana} got Ella this HUGE mound of clothes. 

I believe she is set with clothes for this summer!

About to make a wish…

BUT…Emma {the girl on the left}, blew out Ella’s candles.  Ella was NOT a happy girl. Ha!

 

We had a super fun time celebrating Ella’s 4th birthday!!!!

I still can’t believe she is FOUR years old!

4 years ago…

on May 13, 2007-I gave birth to our first born child.

I can’t wrap my mind around the fact that Ella is 4 years old!!!!

She has been such a blessing to Chris & I over the last 4 years.

She was my very first Mother’s Day gift {being born on the morning of Mother’s Day}.

Thank you Lord for this incredible gift and that you trust me to be her mother.

I love you to the moon and back Ella Ann!!!!

 

Love,

Mommy

XOXOXO

Owen ~ 20 months old

Owen turned 20 months old 4/26/11.

He is definitely getting the “terrible 2’s attitude!

He has starting to stomp his foot when he doesn't get his way…funny how they learn SO early.

He sure is ALL B.O.Y.

But, he sure is a JOY to be his Mamma!!!!

I love you little man!!!

Mother’s Day

Chris & the kids gave me a charm for my charm bracelet.

Ella made this sweet little flower pot with a very cute flower {at Wee School}.

This precious saying is on the back of the flower.

This makes me smile…it says:

My Mom

My Mom is 15 years old.-I’m glad someone thinks I look 15 years old! Ha!

My Mom looks the prettiest when she wears pretty clothes.

My Mom likes to make some very good food.

My Mom always says, “I love you to the moon and back.”

My Mom is funny when she makes a silly face.

Happy Mother’s Day

Love,

Ella

I’m very blessed to be the mother of 2 very happy & healthy angels!!!!!!
