The Week In Pictures

A lot happened this past week. Too much to write about and way too many pictures to show. I pick a "few" to show what all we did. Among them are pictures of Ella's new bike, her first day of homeschooling, and her birthday party. Also that week, we went to the Alaska State Fair. We saw smokey the bear, big cabbage, got to pet farm animals, eat fair food (which is the best food). We ended the week with what I thought was a cook out, but it turned out to be a surprise baby shower thrown by my neighbors. There is also the take down of JT.

Doing laundry has become a problem for me. Taking the basket full of clothes down stairs is almost impossible. So, I asked the girls to help. They had fun and I got the laundry down the stairs.

This is Ella's new bike she got for her 5th birthday. She loves it as well as all of her safety equipment. She says, "Remember, safety first!".

This is offically Olivia's scooter now. She is really fast on it.

Ella's frist day of homeschooling. We did the letter "D". She loves homeschooling so far. She has been like a litte sponge soaking up everything.

Here are the dragon flies the girls made. Did you know that when dragon flies get their wings they are at the end of their life span? Mom is learning things too while homeschooling.

My Ella Bella turned 5 this past week. She is such a beautiful person. Her wish was for everyone's dreams to come true.

Ella and Smokey the Bear.

Ella and Olivia climbed a big slide. It was like an obsticle course.




These looked soooooo good.

Navaho Fried Bread

Petting Zoo

They showed how they milked a cow.

The girls got to feel it, apparently, it is really warm.

Big Cabbage! It was huge!!!!!!!!!!!

Olivia was pouting and this was right before she hit me.

Caramel Apple, it was really good and it didn't last long.

Olivia sat and watched this gumball machine for the longest time.

My surprise baby shower.



The beginning of the take down of JT.




Down for the count.

Love it! What a sweet thing your neighbors did for you! :) Love the photos. My favs are the Olivia pout, the JT devour of an apple, and the NEW BIKE shot with Daddy proudly standing behind!

Great recap in photos. Thanks for sharing.

Okay- Here are my picture comments:
1- It is so cute the way Ella poses! It doesnt matter if she is riding her bike or do laundry, she always poses and smiles for the camera. Rarely is there a bad shot of her. Olivia...well that is another story. :)
2- My favorite picture is the one with Olivia and the scooter. She looks so determined to FLY! And you can tell she is because you catch a picture of Jason's legs and he is sprinting after her!
