Carnival Fun

We go to a local parish carnival each fall.

Although it was a fall day in September....it was still pretty warm.

Yes, we did have a few fresh squeezed lemonades too.

Ella's first Tigers Baseball Game

Ella really wanted to go to a baseball game.

I mean, really, really, really wanted to go.

She practiced singing the song "Take me out to the ball game..." all summer.

She practiced saying "hit the bwall!!!"

Then we go to the game...

Her main concerns...

"Where is Paws the Tiger at?" (the mascot)

"Who won that new bicycle?" (there was a raffle or something)

"Can I have some peanuts?"

"Can we go now?"

She sure did look cute though in her Tigers gear and braided pony tails.

Dad looks pretty handsome too in his Tigers colors.

Darling...stay beautiful

Ella loves playing dress-up.

Typical Ella dress up garb is a Princess dress, she is bejeweled and bedecked from head to toe with sparkles and baubles, add a pair of fancy sunglasses and how can you go wrong?

Lovin' life everyday with our little diva!

Little Scholars Preschool Graduation 2013

Ella graduated from preschool!!!! She was in a program called Little Scholars (how appropriate!).

Upon returning to her seat with her medal and "diploma" she turned to the little girl sitting to her right (her bwest fwind SoPia) and said "We did it SoPia, We did it!!!!" (apparently there must have been some doubt????)


The zombies are coming!!!!

To celebrate graduating from preschool we went to Paneenos (Panera Bread).

Ballet Recital 2013

Ella took ballet this year. She does sautés, jetes, and pirouettes throughout the house. She loves to pretend that she is Angelina Ballerina and she thinks that her teach Miss Patti is just the best.

Ballerinas!
