| And Devin had a summer birthday and turned 10. I know these are a little out of order but it is to much work to fix them. Besides I started this post a long time ago and never finished it ... We did a lot more things last summer than this and maybe I'll get around to blogging about them but if not we had a great summer and enjoyed the time off of school. |

| I can't believe my little girl is getting so big. She turned 4 on the 2nd of March. She has been waiting for this birthday for quite a while, we have been telling her that her birthday was after Valentines Days so every day after Valentine's she would wake up and ask if today was her birthday. Tanner and Hayden blew up balloons to put in her room so that when she woke up she would know that today was the special day. She was so excited. |
 |
| Can't tell who is more interested in her presents her or all the other kids. Ellie was supper lucky on her birthday, we had both set of grandparents stop by and Uncle Travis, Aunt Elisa and Aunt Kami. Thanks for making her day so special. |

| It was a princess party and had to have a princess cake. We have been so blessed to have Ellie in our family, she brings much joy and some sass to our lives. We love our little princess. |
Ready for trick or treating. This is the first year we have taken our kids door to door trick or treating. In the past we have always had a trunk or treat, but this year our primary had a halloween party instead. That was alot of fun and gave us the chance to go door to door as well. The kids were so excited, they had all their school homework done by 5 (most nights it drags out till bedtime). So after dinner we headed out to our neighborhood. It took us an hour to get through 12 houses, I thought for sure they would want to contine on in the neighborhood just below ours, but they didn't. We came home and the kids watched Casper and ate what little candy they got. It was so nice not to be out all night especially on a school night.
Before the show entertainment, Elephant rides.
Camel rides.
Here we are waiting for the show. Ellie was pouting because we would not buy the outragously expensive cotton candy.
The had 6 beautiful tigers.
Jumping through hoops.
Tightrope walkers.
Blancing swords
2 black bears
These guys were crazy. Running around on the outside of the cages.
Acrobats
The elaphants were definately a favorite. Very cute.
Jugglers on balance boards.
These two did their act twisted in the curtains.
And there are 4 guys on motercycles in this cage. Amazing!
There was many more things going on as well but here were some of the highlights. It was a lot of fun and I am glad the boys convnced us to go.
