After Preschool Nanny is taking her and Brody to McDonalds.I will post more pictures I took on my camera later on. Here is a collage from my phone!

PreSchool Orientation

Ellie will be starting Precious Pals Preschool next Tuesday. She had her orientation this evening. She LOVED it. She is such a social butterfly. She's very friendly and caring around other children. John and I are very proud of our big girl. She has became a very good leader at gymnastics as well. The Mom's were taken out of her class after the summer show. Her instructor asks her to be the leader each week when it's time to go back. She will go to preschool on Tuesday's and Friday's till May! I will post pictures from her first day too next week!

Bonfire Saturday

We had our friends over Saturday evening to hang out and have a bonfire. The kids all enjoyed playing. Brody just sat in his lawn chair and hung out. Ellie and Emma played like crazy. They rode bikes, played on the swing set, pulled each other in the wagon, played tee-ball, crawled around the grass and rode on each others backs, ran up and down the hills in the back, talked to the cows, pulled leafs off the trees and carried on many conversations. The girls were just to cute to express with one another the other night. When it was time for Steve, Amanda and Emma to leave the girls kept giving one another hugs and kisses. It was sweet! They are best friends forever!

Handsome Boy!

Ellie kept telling Emma, "You are to heavy, I can't do this much longer Emma!" Poor Emma is as small as Brody but she sure pulled Ellie around as much as she could!

I found Ellie some Stompeez at Hallmark the other day! She had been wanting these so bad. I went in to Hallmark and they had them for $5! That's compared to $40 online!

Brody in his New Castle Football shirt for Uncle Jack! He loves his Uncle Jack, he thinks he's so cool!

Gymnastics Show and Mooreland Fair

I am going to try better with updating the blog! Here are some pictures from Ellie's summer show and the Mooreland fair. We have had a good summer. I accepted a new position at work so our lives have seemed very busy. Ellie will start preschool at the end of the month at Precious Pals at our church. Brody will be turning 2 in September! Is that possible? Ellie's dance will start back up in September as well. We aren't sure how many things she is signing up for yet. Last year she was in the combo introduction class. She's a busy girl for being 3! Life will get much busier when Brody starts sports!
