Our Little Ella is 4 YEARS OLD!!!

Today is Ella's actual birthday. It's hard to believe that at this very time four years ago I had a hospital room full of people looking at our brand new baby girl. I thought everyone would enjoy a look back at May 30, 2004. I've also stuck in a few pictures of the days following Ella's birth since I had the CD out.

Poor Trent...if he only knew what he knew now. And if John and I only knew how much we'd see this crying face in the future years!

It's amazing how much Trent and Ella have grown. Think of it this way...when Ella was born Trent was only 5 months older than Ella is today. It's hard to remember him being that small.

This was Ella's "Going Home" day. Many of you will remember that this is the same dress that I wore home from the hospital in 1978. Still looks like new, huh?!?! It wasn't that long ago.

Tonight it was Ella's turn to pick where we were going to eat dinner. She of course picked CiCi's Pizza. Here are a few pictures of Ella's fun night at CiCi's followed by a trip to Gander Mtn. to exchange her sleeping bag (we took it out of the carrying bag on Sunday and found out that the drawstring was broken so back to exchange we went). After spending some time looking around Gander Mtn. we made a stop at Bruster's. Here are a few pictures and a video of our evening.

Grammy and PawPaw have been saving this present for Ella since Sydnie's birthday in March. Sydney asked for a pink bible for her birthday so they went ahead and bought Ella's at the same time. The new Pioneer Clubs at church are really stressing getting children into the habit of bringing their Bible to church so now Ella has one! And a hot pink case to carry it in!

Trent went to spend the night with Dylan at Grammy and PawPaw's so Ella had Mommy and Daddy all to herself.

Mommy's a little pooped...we had our field trip to the park today to meet our PenPals from West. We only picked the hottest day this week to go!

I'm not quite sure what has gotten into Ella and all the funny faces.
