Ella ON STAGE!

Ella LOVES the spotlight....

I want to do everything I can to encourage her to stay that way...

I DREADED presentations, etc.... if front of a group and I NEVER want her to feel that way!

She was ECSTATIC for summer camp at the theater with her friend from school...

They had camp Monday thru Friday and put on a performance after camp on the Friday....

The stage....

 Two of her biggest fans in the audience!

 We ordered the video of the performance since you couldn't take photos during, so we got some photos of our 'clown fish' after it was over

 Our two little clowns!

 Ella and Ella both got to be clown fish

 She loved every second!

She knew all her lines and everyone else's lines...

She sang every song and did a great job!

Her teacher advised us to keep her in the theater....we will :0)

 And Logan had to get a pic with the 'crab'......I call him my little crab!

Summer Fun

Summer has FLOWN by!!!

I can't believe how long it's been since I have blogged.....ugh!

It means we have been having fun and I have been too tired to blog at night!!!

We have had backyard BBQ/swim times with friends!

 We have gone to LOTS of birthday parties, some I didn't even get pics of...

We went to a trampoline place and poor Ella hurt herself in the first minute...ice on the knee and she managed a little jumping before the party ended....

 Logan loves to bounce! 

Happy Birthday to Brooke...we had fun!

 We also celebrated Owen's birthday and Logan must have gone down the waterslide over 100 times!

 Kellen taking a break for a snow cone!

 Ella....splash!

 Logan taking his break for a snow cone!

 And back to the slide!!!

 Happy Birthday Owen!

 And then there was swimming in the rain on the 4th at Stevie and Kristens...

 We had some tired kids at the end of the day!

It's been a fun and QUICK summer!!!!

I need to try and take some good photos in the next couple of weeks before school starts!
