Cupcakes with the Lopes'

Ella was soooo excited to go to the game on her birthday!

She cheered alot and was excited that they won!

She had to look 'fancy' of course
Both Logan and Ella were so excited to see Kurt at the game!

I think they wore him out with all their running around....

Ella couldn't wait for the game to be over so she could join the team....

They all sang her "Happy Birthday" and she LOVED IT!

She passed out all the cupcakes!

Logan needed a cupcake too!

A little dash of funny....

My little Logan is a crack up....

I must laugh about 100 times a day at his funniness....

I love his little lisp....makes everything that much cuter

Today he came up to me and said,

"mommy, I have the HIPCOCKTHS"

(the 'ths' at the end is for the lisp part)

My sweet girl is FIVE!!!

Happy 5th Birthday Ella!!!

Ella's Birthday day......

I can't believe my sweet little girl is FIVE!!!

These 5 years have flown by and I have LOVED every minute!

This is a quick entry about what we have done so far to celebrate her day.....

These are the lollipop bunches that we made for her class.....5 pops each

This was her cuteness yesterday for school....she got to bring snack and be line leader!
Her adorable hair bow.....thanks to oh so girly!

After school, Ella told me her tummy hurt which progressed to her taking a long nap and then waking up, feeling worse, and throwing up....poor girl.

Luckily, she woke up this morning feeling fine and was SO excited to see that the birthday fairy had come!

She then got to open some of her gifts.....a lps game from Logan

A jewelry box you get to decorate from Auntie Jojo and Uncle Curtis....

....and a lps playset from them also....

GG and Pete-Pete sent Ella the cutest fairy bag which she will be using alot....

Ella also got a V-reader from Nannie and Muntz that came with a Scooby-doo book....her FAVORITE!!! She LOVED it and couldn't wait to play with it!!! Unfortunately, I didn't get a photo of her opening this, but luckilly Nannie and muntz got to watch her on skype!!!

After a morning spent at home, we picked up Chick-fila and headed to Grammie and Papa's....

Logan got a special treat today too! A NOISY fire truck that he LOVES!!

Ella got some super cute pink cowboy boots, some sparkly jeans, a hello kitty shirt, and a lite brite!!!

they also surprised her with a birthday cake!

She make a wish and blew out her candle!

This was her design she chose to make.....a bday cake!!!

We came home and I was busy frosting the FOUR dozen cupcakes that I had made this morning. We are heading out to the GCU game tonight and Ella wants the team to celebrate with her!!! Should be adorable!!!

A GREAT day so far and alot more fun to come!!!

Hello Turkeys......

I have to admit, I was sad to take down the ghosts, spiders, bats, and pumpkins....

But it was fun to put out the turkeys....

And these cute little guys.....Logan and Ella
And this little turkey, as well....
Ready to start ready the turkey day books....

And Ella has changed her crafting......

And the funniest part is, Logan just woke up from his nap and walked up to one of the turkeys and say, "Hey Birdy, where's spooky?"
