Life Lately - The Week of Ella

When I looked back at my pictures for this week I had so many of Ella and not many of Caleb.  I am with her more since Caleb is in school all day and she had some exciting things going on this week so here are all my Ella pictures with a few of Caleb :)

 

Sunday

Hanging with these cuties in Toddlers
Julianne, Madi Grace, Ella, Bradley, Luke, Tucker and Everett

She wanted her hair to look curly/crimped so she went to bed with braids all over her head. 

She was so funny - she said "Wait let Mommy get MY picture and then I will take a picture with you guys".  She was acting like a celebrity she was so proud of her braids. 

 

Monday

The results the next morning.  She said "I know my friends will think it's beautiful" 

Ready for school - she loves a headband these days 

In car line- she brought a pillow and blanket and was out in about 2 seconds 

She helped me count and sort all the Easter eggs for the hunt at church. 

Tuesday

With some of her letter crafts from school 

This girl - that wink!  Love her!

Sitting on the big dinosaur 

Digging for dinosaur bones 

On the big scale 

With some of the girls in her class - Riley, Lizzie Kate, Grace and Olivia 

Ella LOVED the baby dinosaur. She sat there a while and rubbed him 

The girls in the hurricane - it was blowing them everywhere!

It was funny - it sucked Ella's bow up! 

Some of her friends.

So glad the twins - Grace and Olivia will be at New Hope with her next year.

Then we headed to Kindergarten Registration...

Coloring and waiting for her name to be called for the assessment 

What a big girl - she did great!

Funny story - they were asking for her address but she thought they were asking her for the code to get in the garage and she would not tell them! 

Not sure who is more excited for her to be a New Hope Knight! 

With her new T-shirt - of course she picked orange 

We got snowballs for a treat - first ones of the year! 

Wednesday night we had a picnic while the big kids played Capture the Flag 

These two love playing with the teenagers

Sweet birthday girl!

 

Saturday

We had a Raynor Reunion and it was so good to see Bibba, Kathy, Tubby and the rest of the crew!

Playing in the sandbox with Eli 

Cornhole - Ella vs. Tubby 

Love these cousins - lots of fun memories with them. 

These four had fun reminiscing about the old days - not sure how they survived!

Playing a game of Coon Bridge like old times
