Weekending...

A little late on a weekend update, but so it goes!  Friday night was Spring Fling at school.   The theme was Wild West, so there were lots of western-style outfits and I didn't even think to get us all dressed up!  It was LOUD and CRAZY but I think Ella had a good time and it seemed to have a successful turnout.  Ella got her face painted, which was short lived after all that painter's work because we had to wash it off that night to get ready for dance pictures!

Ella went up and down one bouncy house-type contraption and totally freaked out and that was enough of that!  We did family "old time" picture, but that turned out absolutely hilarious.  Ella also did a spin art project and she was very determined on her paint color choices!

She should get the final art project in her backpack sometime this week - it stayed at school to dry!

Saturday morning was dance pictures.  Ella's class is doing a tap and a ballet routine again this year, but I didn't take a picture of her in her tap costume because....well, it's just not that cute and I also forgot!  But I did get one in her ballet costume.  She looks SO GROWN UP.  Unreal

 

Easter 2015

Catching up on some posting.  We stayed in town for Easter this year.  Ella wasn't feeling the greatest (stuffy nose, cough, etc.) so her and I skipped Easter Sunday church but were able to celebrate the day at Jay's parents for lunch.  We had an egg hunt at home and also at Jay's parents, so Ella had a good time doing those!

 Peeking to see what eggs she can find before hunting outside

 Can you tell she's really into posing for pictures now?!

 Trying to get a picture of Ella and Harrison was interesting!

 I found it hilarious that Ella insisted that I take her picture next to this fake pheasant! What in the world?!?

It was a fun Easter day!

Spring Break 2015

Well, time got away from me and I am going to play catch up on some posts.  Life has been a bit hectic!

Let's start way back before Easter with Spring Break shall we?

Jay took off most of the week to spend some father/daughter time with Ella doing all kinds of activities!  A run down of our week (mainly for us to remember).  :)

Monday, they headed to a park and spent time hanging out at home (no pictures)

Tuesday, they went to the Children's Museum with Grandma Jolyn and cousin Dylan!  Sid the Science Kid was there so Ella got to meet him :)

Wednesday, Ella had a dentist appointment in the morning and she did awesome!  They celebrated with a treat from Caribou afterwards and then spent a little time outside but it was SUPER windy!  She has one wiggly tooth on the bottom, so Ella is anxious to have it come out (I think it will be awhile).

Thursday, Ella and Jay went bowling - boo-yah!  Ella had a good time as you'll see in the pictures!

Friday, I was off so we did some Easter menu planning, grocery shopped, headed to the library to restock our books and then went to see the new Cinderella movie!  Loved it!! All Ella talks about is the Frozen Short Film that aired ahead of Cinderella - it was about Elsa planning a birthday party for Anna.  :)
