Ella is a Toothless Wonder
This particular morning Ella woke up a tad early and ran into our room with her hand out. She was so excited she could hardly contain herself. She was trying to be quiet, know that Sawyer was asleep, but was having a hard time. In her hand was a teeny, tiny tooth! It had fallen out in her sleep.
Congrats to Ella for loosing her very first tooth!

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
One of Ella's assignments for kindergarten was to pick a nursery rhyme, recite it and dress up accordingly! Ella picked Twinkle Star--hesitantly. She was very nervous about this assignment. She didn't want to recite it infront of the class. Ella actually said to me that she wanted to stay home from school on the day she had to recite. She doesn't like to be the focus of attention, usually.
We had lots of fun designing and creating her costume. Super cute and easy.
The teacher filmed all of the students reciting their nursery rhymes. Ella did a fantastic job! She is so brave.
Want to watch the video?
1. Copy/Paste or click this link:
2. Under Mrs. Geyen (her teacher), click on "PM Video"
3. Ella is the 3rd student in the video. It takes less than 2 minutes to watch it (Through the end of Ella's recitation.) It's really cute.
FYI: The 2nd student is a boy named Camden (dressed as a king). Ella says that she is going to marry him. Hmmm....we will see.

Sawyer's first walk in the stroller...
It was a tad on the cool side (living in MN, that happens) so we bundled Sawyer up quite a bit.
I had to keep adjusting his hat because it would fall down over his eyes.

Happy St. Patrick's Day
Ella was little mad about her St. Patty's Day shirt so she opted out of this photo.
Sawyer is 3 months and 1 week!

Twins
Over Spring Break we met some friends at the American Girl Bistro for lunch. The girls dressed their dolls up nice and fancy. Then they dressed themselves up nice and fancy. I can't seem to find the picture of McKenna. If I do, I will post it.

Bailey Art Gallery
The kids brought me to their school to see some of the art projects they have worked on. I only got a few pictures but it was a fun event!
McKenna's Butterfly
Ella's Self Portrait
McKenna's Room in a House
Ella's Birthday
For Ella's family birthday party she chose to wear pj's! Comfort is of key importance to her (much like her daddy). She also wanted to wear her birthday crown from school. Here she is making a sill face.
How sweet! She let McKenna help her blow out the candles.
For her "friend" party she chose a sleepover. For some crazy reason, I allowed it.
Thanks the Lord for Hannah! What a Godsend she was during the party! Such a big help.
Some of the guests...
McKenna and Sawyer
Lily and Sophie
Selma
Hannah and Ella
Cora and Ella
Hannah, Selma, McKenna, Ella, Cora, Sophie and Lily all piled on the couch ready to watch Enchanted.
Decorating cupcakes
Ella wanted each of her friends to get a candle in their cupcake! She is so giving!
Snack on a stick...
And......presents.....
Last but not least...a bit of silliness!

The Things They Say....
Me to Ella: What ARE you doing?
Ella: Mom, I want people to think I have a big brain.
