My little 3 year old...

My little baby girl turned 3 on April 10th! We had a little princess party for her b-day to celebrate how special and amazing she is to us!



Ella's little best buddy Navy Osborne.



We started out the party playing with dress-ups that our friend Tara let us borrow! Thanks again Tara they were such a hit!



Cheesin' it up in her fancy garb!



Our sweet little Cazzy, she was such a good sport and let us put whatever we wanted on her. She was a little doll.



Here's our biggest princess of them all, red is such a good color on her don't ya think?



Such a sweetie!



Can this girl be any happier?



I think not!



Mischievous bunny???



Navy's orange hair was quite the rage!






We played some Disney Princess music and the girls had a blast dancing at the ball together.



Happy daughter = Happy Mama!



Aww Granny Cazzy, so cute!



Do-rags or bust, she was such a little ham when we put that on her! I think Hell's angels motorcycle gang might be in her future. :)



Just kidding we all know Caz is a true girly girl!



Jack is going to kill me when he sees this picture in the future but we couldn't resist! That blue dress was the perfect size for him! Sorry bud we love you and know your all boy!



Next we went to paint their nails and put on their princess make-up!



Navy, our pretty little "Ariel" with her long red hair.



Ella loved the make-up part...





and got a little carried away... :)



Showin' off her fab nails!

Next we ate some pizza, chips and apples and then it was time for her Barbie Princess Cinderella cake!



I made this cake all myself and I was pretty proud of how it turned out! It ended up taking more time than I would have liked but it was a fun thing to try and Ella loved it which made it all worth it!



Side view of the layers I used to make the cake.







Aunt Didi and Princess Caz.



Jack was getting impatient for some cake...hurry up already!



Biggest baby blues ever, so cute!

After cake we made some princess crowns with glitter and sequins but for some reason we didn't take any pictures of that.

Then we handed out the edible princess wands and said goodbye to friends.





Jack was quite a fan of them!



Ella kept saying "Bebity-boppity-boo" as she ran around swinging it in the air and eating it. They were quite the hit!



Just a sweet little pic of Daddy and Jack hangin' out together trying to keep their masculinity with all the girly stuff going on around them! :)



Then El got to open her big surprise, she had to wait patiently on the couch with her eyes closed...



the unveiling....



Whoo-hoo, a pink Barbie tricycle!



The test drive!

All in all we had quite a blast for Ella's third birthday party! I had so much fun putting it all together and coming up with fun things to do with her! It was such a joy to see her face light up the way it did as she got to be a queen for a day! We love that little girl with all the laughs and spunk she brings to our family! It still blows my mind how much she has grown up already, it's true what they say about how fast it goes! I am so glad I get to relish in these times with my children and I am so grateful Heavenly Father blessed me with both of them! They are truly an amazing gift!

Muchas cosas buenas!

Ok so here's a lot of random pictures that I have wanted to post for awhile but haven't taken the time to do it! So here we go...warning it's a long one :).

We took the kids awhile back to a place called H-air here in Rexburg. It has a bunch of inflatable bounce houses and slides that the kids loved. We also met up with Jason and Cazzy our brother-in-law and niece. Ella and Cazzy had a blast, Jack was a little unsure of the place but still had fun exploring.











Caz and Jack are buds and always have to give each other loves every time they get to see each other. It's so cute!



Uncle Jason and our little buddy.



Not sure he wants to go down the slide.







Of course the dad's had to go down together after they sent the kids down the slide...the holding hands part that was Chad's idea, he loves to tease Jason and make him feel uncomfortable. :) Jason is a really good sport though!



Ella's lovely little snarl face, she didn't want to leave and of course this was the result. Ha ha



Here's some random pics i found that I thought were cute. Jack and El and Chad always wrestle together when Chad comes home from work and in this picture they were getting a head start on the fun before Chad got home. I got them to stop long enough to smile for the camera.



I'm always worried that Jack will get hurt being that he's still a little guy but he is sure a tough one, which explains why we named him after Jack Bauer! Ha ha J/k but seriously Chad always jokes that Jack is a future MMA fighter cause he can be held down by Ella with her on top of him and he can reverse it and flip her onto her back! He's a bruiser. :)



More cute random pics that I found on my camera. Just a fun day where we played in the snow.











As you can tell I haven't changed much...I am still horrible at keeping up with posting...
More cute pics of the kids in the bath at the house we were renting.







Hilarious face Ella randomly pulled, whenever she sees this pic she tries to do it again but she can't seemed to make it again! It is definitely one of a kind!





Ella's favorite thing to do...fill up anything that can hold water and then set it up on the side of the bath tub and then refuse to do anything with it or let anyone touch it-namely Jack! It's so silly but she loves to do it and Jack loves to try to knock them over- Makes for an interesting bath time!





I just barely got her to start pouring water on her own head...when she finally decided to try it she was hooked, she couldn't stop!





Daddy snuggling our little bug-a-boo.

That should hold ya'll over for awhile :)
