Haloween 2011

Holy cow another year has gone by.. I could not find anything I loved for Ella to be for Halloween this year so I decided to go clever and my mom made these very cute CAMPBELL SOUP CANS-they turned out fabulous..


We had friends over for a Halloween Dinner and the kids dressed up. Here is a picture of all but 2 of the kids.

Here are the girls and their loot and we only went around 1 block!! Ella loved it. She was just running and running form house to house. We could not keep up with her. It was fun to watch her.

Sad but these are the best pictures I got of them in their costumes. :(


This was our favorite October outfit. So Cute!!


Ella and Bailee going trick or treating at Home Depot.

I went to help in Ella class for their Halloween party. It was so fun to see all the kids and their costumes.
This one is Ella with her cute pumpkin donut.

Here she is with Teacher Sue by the witches Brew. they all got to stir it up.

They got to go trick or treating to a few classroom and up to the principals office. Here they are waiting patiently for the treats.

and last but not least! Here is the whole family all dressed up. The girls as soup cans-Me as the Soup-Drew the can opener(he was not happy with me)

The ZOO

We went to the zoo just before school started. We went with Velvet and her 2 kids it was fun (got a little hot though)

They each have one of their own size. Ella needs a little height


Ella and London having fun together

It was very fun and the girls(Ella) had a lot of fun. She was afraid of the dinosaurs that they throughout the park though. Aftyn just enjoyed the stroller ride.!

And she is off......

Ella started preschool and is loving it. She is going to WEE Weber and Teacher Sue is so sweet and great with the kids. I love to see all the fun things she brings home each day. I will get some more pictures one day but these are right before we left for the first day.
