Soccer Practice

Ella had soccer practice for the first time last night.

Her team practiced last Wednesday night, but Ella had a tummy bug

This is Ella’s first time to play any kind of sport. 

I thought I had waited too long to register her, but thankfully there was a spot for her with the McKinney Soccer Association.

She had SO much fun!!!!!

The coaches (his name is Owen too) daughter is the little one hugging him…she is having a really hard time “sharing” her daddy with the other 5 girls. 

Needless to say, she didn’t do much her daddy asked of her. Ha!

Owen practiced his soccer skills too.

And got some love from his daddy.

The coach gave all of the girls their very own ball.

Ella HAD to wrote her name on hers.

I really thought she was going to sleep with it last night.

We are very excited to watch her learn and play this Fall.

Sundaes on Sunday

Yesterday Ella & Owen met their teachers for the first time.

Their pre-school does a little meet and greet with ice cream sundaes.

I have been really worrying about how Owen would do (this being his first year of pre-school). 

After yesterday, I feel SO much better, his teacher is going to be AWESOME!!!!!!

Ella will have an entire room of new friends, except one boy.

Out of 12 kids in the class, 9 of them are girls…good luck Mrs. Janet & Mrs. Karen!

My silly girl posing while the other kids are playing basketball…I think we (Chris & I) are in trouble!!

I pray they both have a great year.

This is the result of Nana watching the kids…

March 2011 (after being off for 18 months after the birth of Owen) I went back to work, therefore my mom (Nana) watches Ella & Owen.

Most days this is how tired they are when I get home.

If they want to walk all around the neighborhood, then that’s what Nana does.

I guess that’s what grandparents are for.

I’m SO very thankful they get to stay in our home and be watched by my mom.

Bedtime is usually not a fight at all…

Ella’s 4 year check-up

Chris took Ella for her 4 year well exam on July 27, 2011.

She weighs 47 pounds and is 42 1/4 inches tall. 

On the growth chart she is 90% for weight and 95% for height.

She got 4 immunizations and 2 injections.

Polio

DTAP/TD

MMR

Varivax (Chickenpox)

2 were combined…thank goodness!!!!

Chris said she did FABULOUS, she cried for only a split second.

They give out cute little goodie bags for 4 year olds…so she was fine once she saw that.

Sea World ~ July 2011

Chris, the kids & I left for San Antonio July 10th @ 3AM. 

We arrived at Sea World @ 9AM, the park didn’t open until 10 AM. 

Therefore we had some time to waste.

Our first stop was to see & feed the Sea Lions.  They had 4-5 pups, they were adorable!!

Yummy…

Sea Otters

Seals

Waiting on the show.

Ella met Bert & Ernie

and Zoe & Count (Owen is still not too keen with the characters)

This show featured dolphins & beluga whales

Feeding the dolphins

Chris & Ella rode this little Shamu roller coaster, while Owen & I rode the carousel.

The Shamu shows are NOT the same, since the trainers can’t get in the water with the whales…it’s still AMAZING to watch these giant animals!

Now off to the water park

my handsome hubby!

Owen didn’t care for him. Ha!

 

We had a great mini vacation to San Antonio.  The kids LOVED Sea World!

On the way home we stopped in San Marcos to do a little shopping.

We arrived home late Tuesday night.

Until next time….
