Today we went to Bailey 5th birthday party at the Huntington Skating Rink. Bailey is the son of Whitney, who I work with and April has played with her for softball.

I was really sure how Ean would take it as he tends to shy away from new things, however we have been trying to pump him up for it. It went rather well. Ean took to his skates immediately and we even tried a pair on Ella. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a pair on April.

All in all it was a great party with one exception. One of the ladies dressed up in a Birthday roo costume. Ean had the fear in his eyes, but as long as stayed across the rink from here he was alright. Ella, on the other hand, loved the costumed lady and went right up to her to get her picture taken.

Thanks Whitney and Bailey for the invitation!

**Sorry for some of blurry pics. Moving kids and dark lights don’t make great pictures.**

It’s been two years since Ella was born and a pair of scissors has not touched her head. That is until today. Today was her first haircut. It was not a walk in the park. She wanted to fight the fight and not get her haircut. Once she got a paper and could write on it, she settled down for a bit and allowed Tosha to finish up.

She looks so cute with her bangs.

Now that Ella turned two, it was time to move her from the crib and crib matress into a big girl bed.

While we were discussing Ella’s bed, we wanted to move Ean out of his race car bed and into just the matress. This would free up alot of space in his room for the massive amounts of toys he owns.

Both changes took effect today and both kids are excited about the changes. Now, I hope that they will both stay in them tonight.

We are winding down from Ella’s birthday party. Ella is down for her nap and we are in the processing of cleaning up.

Ella did better than expected after a shakey start with no nap. She enjoyed opening her presents, but took her sweet time reviewing everything that she opened.

I hope you enjoy some of the videos:

I have some pictures to share from Ella’s Birthday Party as well as her birthday on Friday.

Our little baby is turning two today. We can’t believe it has happened so fast. Next step, she brings home her first boyfriend.

While April and Ean headed to Ean’s school party, Ella and I had a playdate. We went to Its Playtime, a kid center that provides the space and the toys while we brought the fun!

These are some pictures of Ella in all her glory!

Although a bit chilly, Halloween was fun this year.

Ean the Vampire and Ella the Gator cheerleader!!

Here are the photos from Hallow’s Eve.

Ella is growing up. She has been showing more and more initiative to play with her toys and starting to color in her coloring books. Not too much longer and she will be bringing her first boyfriend home.

Here are some recent pictures of her getting into everything and her coloring.

While Ean has been grabbing most of the attention lately, with school and soccer. Don’t think Ella has been left out of the action.

I was off the other day, so after we dropped Ean off at school, we went down to the River Greenway with Ella and a camera and just let her go crazy. It was fair game unless she was about to go into the street or into the river.

Fortunately all people, animals, plants and life in general were not harmed in the filming on this day.
