Sweet Kisses

Sissy and Uncle Michael kept Ella Tuesday night while we went to celebrate Josh's dad's birthday. Mary Kate snapped this picture of Hadley and Ella that I just adore!
How sweet is this?

Happy 3 Years

Happy Anniversary Josh! I love you so much and would not want to be on this journey with anybody else. You mean the world to me! Thank you for being such a wonderful husband, friend, and the best dad!
I love you to the Moon and Back!

Happy Birthday MeMe and Grandpa

Happy Birthday MeMe! We love you so much and hope you have a wonderful day:)

Today is also Grandpa's Birthday... He is turning the BIG 60!!!
We hope you have the best birthday yet!

We love you both SOOOOO much!

a little baby update

The saying "every pregnancy is different" is 100% true! With Ella I had no pregnancy symptoms at all except for a growing belly. This pregnancy so far I have been feeling extremely tired, dizzy, faint, and very nauseous. I'm praying this will all go away after my first trimester so I can get back to feeling a tad bit normal.
Our good friend Angie did our first ultrasound last Monday and I was measuring 6 weeks and 2 days. So that makes me 7 weeks and 2 days:) I go to my first Dr's apt next Thursday! I can't wait to hear my baby's heart beat again. That has to be the sweetest sound ever!
And of course I can't post without a few pictures!

My two little swimmers :)

Kindergarten

It's official, Brax is at his first day of Kindergarten! This is such a bitter sweet day. We are so proud of him but it's still hard to believe that he is old enough for this day to be here!
I was so glad that Josh was going to be able to take Brax to his first day. I know it meant a lot to him!

Getting ready to head to school

Hanging out in your classroom

This one is my favorite!

Brax,
We hope you have the best first day ever! You are going to have so much fun this year
and make some great memories. Daddy and I can't wait to watch you grow and learn new things every day!
We love you to the Moon and Back
LOVE ALWAYS
Daddy, Mary, and Ella

Kindergarten here I come

Last night Braxton had his kindergarten Orientation. Josh and I were excited to see his classroom and meet his teacher! We were impressed :)

This handsome little boy starts school a week from today!

Brax and his teacher, Mrs Tuck

Brax,
WOW, how is it possible that you are going to be in Kindergarten?! You are growing up so fast and are turning into such a sweet young man.
You are going to have so much fun in school and meet some of your best friends! You are going to do GREAT!
We love you so much!
Daddy and Mary

Happy 20 Months Miss Ella

Daddy and I love you both soooooo much!

We had an amazing relaxing weekend at the lake! The weather was perfect and the water was cool. What more can you ask for? :)
Friday night we went over to my parents condo and had some fun playing with Cooper and Hadley

Ella and Sweet Pa (melt my heart)

Guess who decided to kneeboard???

Braxton!!!
He did so good and stayed on for the longest time!

It's hard to believe that summer is almost over.
We have Braxton's Kindergarten orientation tomorrow night in PG. Josh and I will get to see his school and meet his teacher. We are excited!
Yesterday before he left, we were asking him if he was getting excited about school. His answer was too cute.
He said. "I'm excited but i'm going to have to stand up and say, my name is Braxton and I'm the new kid! Josh and I just started laughing :)
We explained to him that everybody in kindergarten is new.

First Dental Visit

Ella had her very first dental check up today. I was really nervous that she would do awful and cry the whole time, but she shocked Josh and I both. She did really good!

Not sure about this ;)

All finished! Dr Bittle said she might have a little crowding issue when she get's older but other than that her teeth look great!
Ella was excited about her toy's she got for being so good:)

And just for fun here is a picture from when Brax first went to the dentist
