Ella's 1st Day of School

Ella had her first day of school on Sept. 8. I wasn't sure at all how she would respond to being in a class room setting totally outside of anybody and anything that she is familiar with. But I should have known, her being the outgoing social butterfly she is, that she would adapt with no hesitations.

She loves her school. Heath gets the privilege of dropping her off each morning that she has school and he said everytime he pulls into the parking lot her face lights up and she becomes so giddy. I'm so thankful she loves it. It would be really hard to make her keep going if she hated it.

Is it just me or is that backpack bigger than she is?


Putting her lunch box on the lunch cart for the first time.


"Okay mom, I will smile cutely for you one more time if you will just leave." I'm sure that's what she was thinking.

Love you sweet girl!

Ella Starts Preschool

A couple of weeks ago, Ella started preschool. I still need to post her 1st day of school pics.

This was are first time to go school supply shopping with her and it was so much fun! We let her pick out most of her stuff herself and of course it all involved Disney princesses and Tinker Bell.











She was so excited. And she is LOVING school!! I'm so proud of her.

Ella Loves to Paint

Ella's new thing is painting. She loves it. And it keeps her busy for hours, which is so nice. I love when she is doing something that is stimulating her mind (AKA something besides watching t.v.). :-) And is so stinking cute.

1st Cowboys Game

Our family was ready for the first Cowboys game of the season. Was yours?




I actually don't care a great deal to watch the game, but I do appreciate the love of the game and for our Cowboys. My husband, however, is their #1 fan. :-) The feeling he gets when it is the first full day of football season is almost equivalent to Christmas morning or walking in the entrance to Magic Kingdom.

So, as you can probably guess, Heath is actually the one that dressed Ella for church this morning. I think he did a good job.

Ribs Anyone?

Ella has always loved a good rib, even since she was little. Her favorite are her daddy's ribs. That girl can clean a rib bone better than me.

Ella's In Choir

This year, Ella is in the 3 & 4 year old choir at our church. She started 2 weeks ago.

After we got home from church this past Wednesday, I asked Ella what song they sang in choir tonight and she busted out with this...
