Dermabond, Dance and a Birthday

Ella had tumbled into a chair with a metal frame while she was at a Weight Watchers Meeting with me. OUCHIE!! It was pretty nasty looking and there was a lot of blood. I am so thankful they were able to use Dermabond instead of stitches. She told Daddy that she was brave but Mommy kinda acted like a little kid :)

Of course this happened right before her first Dance Recital and 4th Birthday, so we have plenty of pictures with her eye. She did such a great job at the recital. We were so very proud of her. My pictures turned out really dark and blurry, so I'm not posting them. If I ever figure out how to post a video, I will put it on here.

Party time!!

I love this picture. I love that her friend Anna is also blowing.

My friend Wendi made these adorable cupcakes.

Ella's friends Anna and Amelia were here from WA. Ella was SOOOO happy.

My brave little girl!!

Reality :)

It is so much fun to put the prettiest, most precious pictures on this blog. My girls really are pretty and precious. But.............it's not always pretty and precious at our house! So I thought it was time to put some pictures on here that reflect the reality of motherhood. Sometimes it messy, loud and crazy! But that's why I love it!! I try to embrace EVERY moment.

I love my pretty, precious, messy, loud and crazy girls.

Here are some pretty and precious pictures:

They are still pretty and precious girls, but here are some pictures of the crazy times :)
