Ellie’s Soccer
This year Ellie’s good friend, Gwen, convinced her to play up a year in soccer so they could be on the same team. Gwen is a year older than Ellie. At first we were hesitant as we worried she would get trampled on by all the older boys that play, but we were wrong. She …
Disneyland Adventure
My good friend Emily and I have been talking about taking our two youngest daughters to Disneyland for quite sometime. Ellie and Gwen are great little friends and both were thrilled at the idea of going on a trip to Disneyland together. Before you jump to conclusions, Ellie has never been to Disneyland. The rest …
Ellie is Headed to School
Kindergarten was a day away and I promised Ellie a date with Mom, anything she wanted. A girl after my own heart, she wanted to go shopping. We started the trip off with an outing to her favorite store, Justice. Keep in mind, this is not my favorite store. I went for her. I personally …
House cleaner extraordinaire
I am afraid as I grow older I will forget all the great and fun things that happened in my kid’s youth. Something that has always amazed me is how Ellie has quickly followed in my footsteps. Whatever I am doing, she wants to be doing. One thing that she likes as much as I …
Ellie’s First Lost Tooth, My Last
Ellie hasn’t even started kindergarten and she has lost her two bottom teeth, just two days apart from each other. I may be forgetting when my others lost their teeth, but I don’t believe any of them lost their teeth before kindergarten started. She was pretty excited to finally be able to get some money …
Ellie’s 5th Birthday!
Man, where does the time go? My baby turned 5 today. Can you believe it?! I can’t. Ellie had preschool on her birthday so I got to go in and help in class. We sang to her and displayed her life through pictures on the wall. After preschool, she had an appointment to go see …
Ellie can ride a bike!
Letting go of the seat of the tiny bike and watching your little tike pedal along solo is one of those “parenting payback” milestones. Ellie might be slow when it comes to getting haircuts, but this last weekend she asked to go out and try her big-girl bike. After about 30 minutes of practice with …
Ellie’s First Hair Cut
As I have mentioned before, my babies are born nearly hairless. And to make matter worse, especially for the girls, they don’t really grow hair until they are 3 or 4. Well, Ellie couldn’t be happier to have finally gotten enough hair to need a hair-cut. Here is Ellie at 4 1/2 years old and …
Preschool Sledding Fieldtrip
Ellie, Drew and I went up to Mutual Dell (up American Fork canyon) on Thursday for a preschool field trip. Ellie loves being in Miss Molly’s Bear Hollow preschool, and Drew got to tag along because his kindergarten class starts after lunch and he is a distinguished alumni. We had a lot of fun sledding …
