This past week was extremely busy for me - I was in a different city every day!
Carnival Training in Raleigh - learned a lot more information about the "Fun Ship"
Ella came home and read her book for school to Oreo - Ella loves to read!
We went and cheered Luke on at his 1st baseball game
Thursday night walk with my boy! When Ella goes to piano, we get quality time in.
Ella's Class had a field trip at Sylvan Heights Bird Park
Her BFFs at school
Lam doesn't speak a lot of English and is scared of a lot but these girls take such good care of her
Walking hand in hand thru the park
Trying to find some birds or other creatures to see
Ella with the flamingos
Ella took a few pictures of her favorite birds on my phone
This bird was so funny - he would make the sound after the kids and they loved it!
These birds would come right up to you
Fossil Dig - she found a lot of shark teeth
With her buddy Lyla
Waiting to feed the birds - there were 8 or 9 schools there that day and it took us 15-20 minutes just to get inside.
Calling for the birds but they were not hungry
Ella really wanted a bird on her stick
She finally got one but they wouldn't stay long
Trying to pet the bird
She was so happy when the bird finally came to stay and eat
With her sweet teacher Mrs. Brick
Strawberry Milkshake for her and a Dr. Pepper for me for the ride home
We got back to town and headed to get pedicures
Ella got her fingernails and toenails done
I just got a pedicure and it was long overdue - hadn't had one since last summer!
Sweet little hands and feet - ready for recital
Ella was so excited to show Caleb the shark teeth
Caleb and Corey getting ready for his 1st big backpacking trip
Trying to make sure that his bag isn't too heavy. They camped at Grayson Highlands State Park
While the boys were away, we had a girls weekend!
I got a bun maker and it worked so great for Ella's hair
Ready for recital!
My little tumbler
Me and my girl
It was a yucky day - making sure that her hair and make up didn't get messed up!
Brooklynn and Ella were in the same recital so that was so nice!
With her friends and neighbors, Alayna and Katelyn
Ella with the Tangled program, she was in the 11 am and 2 pm show
Lena and Jodi came to watch her and were so sweet to bring her flowers!
Catherine, one of her BFFs, came to watch her too - so sweet!
Ella and Bailey, her sweet friend
Brooklynn was up first
Rapunzel
Ella and Kiley - both tumblers
Ella with Peyson and Kiley - her friends and neighbors
Ella's turn
She has improved SO much this year
Madi Grace was there too but I never got a picture of the girls together
Curtain Call - the girls walked by and waved with their shirts on
Time for a Cartwheel
Back Bend Kick Over - she has been working on this and finally got it with ease!
Another action shot
She did such a great job!
The end of her routine
Taylor Girls who came to watch
We went to Chilis afterwards - sweet cousins!
More recital pics
Running on the stage
Back bend
She gets right over now
Ella with her trophy - she was so over pictures by this point!
Here are the pictures of the boys - the weather wasn't the greatest but they still had fun!
In the cave
Caleb with his backpack
Crawford and Corey - always up for a camping adventure
My boys
Caleb with the horses on the trail - I was glad to know they were horses and not bears on this trail!
In their tent
With their meals - Caleb wasn't a fan of these
Caleb had fun but it was a cold, wet and miserable walk - they were soaking wet!
Sunday afternoon Mammy treated us to ice cream - my first time to Sweet Southern Scoops! Ella also went to her first open house and loved it!
We made Resurrection Rolls
Ella ready to put them in the oven
What a busy week - only 4 more school days til Spring Break!
We can't wait!
