Who loves horses?

Can you tell Ella didn't like the horses?

Good thing Ethan did!

This was the closest she would get to the horse.

Then it snuck up on her.

Camel's Back Park

We all started to go up until we got to the hill and Ella got sand in her shoes, that was game over for her. She wanted me to carry her! Ya Right!

Here is Ella watching Dad, Emma and Ethan going up the hill.

MMMMM S more's

I found huge Marshmallow's at the store so we HAD to make S more's. Super fun way to kick off the nice weather. Thanks Mike and Teawna for hanging out for the fun!

Our most recent family picture

Ella's first attempt of drawing our family. For just turning 3 a couple months ago I was pretty darn impressed that she could draw us. I love this picture, it makes me realize how much Ella is growing and how smart she is. (the only thing wrong with this picture is my face, how come I don't get a smile?)

Mothers Day Party with Ethan

For Mother's Day, Ethan's class had all the mom's come over and have treats. They sang a couple songs...



Mrs. Nishikawa asked every child the same 4 questions about their moms. It was pretty funny. The first one was "What is your mom's name?", second "How old is your mom?" third "What is your mom's favorite food?" and forth "What do you like to do best with your mom?". Here are Ethan's answers:
1. Rebecca
2. 44
3. Vegetables
4. Going on Walks together

Here is the video...


They made cute aprons for the mom's with their hand prints as flowers. Too cute. I love my Ethan to pieces. As I always tell him - He is my favorite little boy.

Ella's first bike.

Since it was getting warm we thought it would be a good time to get Ella a bike, too bad right after these pictures she had a meltdown because she couldn't figure how to pedal. I guess we will try again this weekend.

Ella cracks me up!

So it is pouring rain and the kids are outside. A huge crash of thunder goes off and Ella comes running into the house crying. I asked her why she was crying and she said "Jesus scared me!"

Ella's new room. Before and after pics.

This is what Ella's room looked like before it was hers. It was Nathans computer room/guest room. Pumpkin orange with a chair railing.

This is Ella's room now. We got her a new (to us) bed. When we got it off Craigslist it was black. 3 hours and 6 cans of spray paint later, it was white. Nathan could barely close his hand because it was soooo cramped. I think it looks great! I also found some cute butterflies for the wall. Bedtime is a lot less stressful now, Ella was always bothering Ethan when he was trying to go to sleep and he always complained. I love them being in separate rooms now.

Easter Sunday

We love the Easter Bunny in our house, he leaves us yummy baskets . . .

Grandma and Grandpa Howell also sent Easter baskets .. . . . Thank you!!!

Easter Saturday

Saturday we went to Grandma Richards house to color and find Easter eggs. All the Grand kids were there so it was noisy and super fun.
