Happy Birthday Sweet Ella!

Ella is offically one today!!! Tonight my parents came over to eat and we gave her our present and they gave her their present. We had cupcakes and Ella made a huge mess. These are some pictures of her with the cupcake and of her riding the rocking lamb that Dave, Emery Claire and I got her. She had a great day. The outift she has on which you might not be able to see very well was made by my firend Trina. She got so many compliments on it all day long.

Pink Poodles in Paris

Ella's birthday party was Saturday. She had a great time. We did pink poodles in Paris. She did not play in her cake as much as I thought she would. She was real prissy about her cake eating. I do have to stay Ella is probably one of the only people who had the police called to her first birthday party. We had her party at the fellowship hall of our church and I sat the alarm off when I was going into the church. Lucky the police officer was a long time friend of my dad's. He ended up singing "Happy Birthday to Ella". It all worked out and is a story that we will never forget.

We are on the move!!!!

Friday we officially put our house up for sale. We are very excited. My parents are building a house and we are moving into their house on our family farm. I have great memories of living there as a child and can't wait for my girls to have the same type of memories. I will be the third generation to live in this house. Along with putting our house up for sale Thursday afternoon around 4:00 I received the call that everyone dreads. My mom called and was panicked and said that my dad had been rushed to the hospital and they were afraid we was having a heart attack. I rushed around and got the girls settled , thanks to Brooke my lifesaver that was a very easy task. I got to the hospital a little after 5:00. By that time he was doing much better. His blood pressure was extremely high, that is why they thought he was having a heart attack. He has vertigo, which makes you very dizzy. Please remember him in your prayers. He is much better, but has a while to go before he is back to normal. Ella will have her 1st birthday party Saturday. So, I am sure I will have great pics to post after the party.

Sweet Friends

This is Emery Claire with her friend Brayden. They were dressed in matching outfits Sunday at church. They looked so cute!

A Busy Couple of Weeks

The past couple of weeks have been action packed around our house. I have been meaning to post new pictures, but I have not stopped long enough to do it. Emery Claire went on her first field trip the other day. Her Mother's Day Out class went to Tate Farms to the pumpkin patch. The Tate Family is long time family friends of my family and Emery Claire loves to visit their farm. We also went has a family to the farm the following Saturday. My brother and his family came into town. We had a great time. Emery Claire also had her first visitor's day at dance class last week. She did a fantastic job!!!! I was worried about how she would do with all the parents there, but she did great. Dave, my parents and I all went to see her. She could not stop smiling. Their are also some pictures of the girls in their Scarecrow dresses. They looked so cute in them. Ella had her one year pictures made today. I can't wait until we get them back. She did a great job!
