Lauren's b-day
Dad took everyone to Abe's for Lauren's birthday. As you can see, Ella loved the ice cream cake. This was actually Henley's piece and when she got up, Ella climbed in her chair and started eating it. It was too cute!
Liz & Ryan's wedding weekend
Me & Nik
There are no better friends that my high school friends. We all have such a bond! We can go 2 days, 2 months or 2 years w/o seeing each other and can always pick up where we left off. We all know so much about each other and have seen each other through some pretty difficult times. We came together the weekend of April 24th for Liz and Ryan's wedding celebration. We started Friday night off at Sauces for the "rehearsal dinner" and then Saturday for the wedding celebration in Somerville at the Lucerne. Liz looked breathtaking and we all loved being there for her big day!
Field Trip!
We had a wonderful field trip to the fire station and post office. Cole loves being with his friends! The firemen actually got a call while the kids were getting off the fire truck so we had to rush them inside. It was kind of scary to be there when that happened...nothing too big though -just a fender bender on Poplar.
Happy Easter - He is risen!
We had such a great Easter! Ella has become obsessed with Dora and Cole with basketball so the Easter bunny honored these obsessions w/ a Dora doll and basketball & tennis balls. Cole is taking tennis lessons this summer. He LOVES tennis on Wii and asked to play real tennis so here we go! We went to church at GUMC and then to D-burg for lunch with dad and a visit with the Thurmons'. Cole learned his memory verse at church and it is very appropriate: "He is risen indeed!"
Pre-Easter festivities!
I love Easter! Cole has always loved hunting eggs and Ella joined in the fun this year. They hid eggs outside, in the house, at Nonna's...you name it! Ella got the hang of it quickly and darted after them. The church had a big Easter egg hunt and activities afterwards. Cole was a little disappointed that he never won a prize in the bunny hop, but he was a good sport about it. Of course, the Easter party at school was a hit as well. They got to crack open the eggs and some of them ate the hardboiled egg. I NEVER would have thought my picky eater would touch it, but he ate 2-3 of them...this from the kids who doesn't like pizza. WOW. I love him dearly even w/ all his little quirks! He's such a funny kid.
So cute...
Is he choking her?
They are really starting to have fun together...which makes me happy! She no longer calls him "Dole". It's kind of sad that she stopped that; it was so cute! Now if she can't find him, she SCREAMS Cole until he appears. It gets kind of old when he's at school! Ella wants to anything and everything that her big brother does - that could be good or bad. :-)
Liz & Ryan's wedding shower
1st Grizzlies game!
Jason, Lance, Catherine & Cole went to Cole's 1st basketball game back in March. They went to watch the Grizzlies play. I stayed home with Ella and we had a girls' outing...a little shopping and then some ice cream. :-) Cole had so much fun...he didn't care that the Grizzlies are TERRIBLE and lost (of course)! I made sure to give Catherine the camera so I could get some good pics of him. He now absolutely LOVES basketball. He is going to play at church this fall and wants to watch it every time it is on!
