Ella's First Field Trip

When Ella found out that her preschool would be doing field trips this year, she was just THRILLED! She has been asking for weeks, "Is my field trip tomorrow?"and finally yesterday the answer was "Yes!" Her class went to the firestation downtown and she had the best time!When she came home, she told me alllll about it. Her favorite part was when the firefighters slid down the pole. Actually, I think that was all the kids favorite part! She felt so grown-up today getting to go on a big-kid field trip. Here is a picture of her class and her teacher Ms. Stephanie with a couple of the firefighters at the station. Thanks Melissa for emailing me this picture! Its so cute!

Out of 12 kids in her class-only 3 are girls! Ella doesn't seem to mind though:)

They even gave the kids these schnazzy hats. Check out Fire Chief Ella.

Thank you firefighters for all you do to protect us! We appreciate all you do!

Moon Devious said...: She's so cute. I would love to be her age again... field trips, riding on the back of the bumpy bus, taking lunchables for lunch, goofing off when the teacher isn't paying attention....or maybe even when she is... :) lol; 9/23/08, 9:05 AM

Marie Rayner said...: Oh sweet little Ella looks so happy with her firehat! I'm glad she enjoyed her field trip. I just love reading about your family Holly. I can remember being your age and having my oldest four. They were like stairsteps. There were many days I didn't know which end was up! I didn't have a loving and helpful husband like you have in your Joey. You are so blessed and in sharing with us all, you bless us in turn. Thanks for that!; 9/24/08, 2:18 AM

She also has quite the sense of humor and makes us laugh at the funny things she says every day. She loves to be outdoors, read books, and make cards and pictures for her family and friends. She is very giving and loving. She is also cuddly and asks for "snuggle time" daily:) She started tennis this past Spring and is loving it! I think we have finally found this girls "thing." Shes got one mean backhand! :) Her favorite thing in the world, however, is CANDY, oh, and ponies and fish.

Now that he is five, he is really starting to show us just how darn smart he is. He is learning how to read at an incredible pace. He can count to 9000 already(he tells us this, but we make him stop at 100:)! He started preschool this year and just LOVES going! He wishes everyday was preschool. He has a heart of gold and is so loving. He is a Mama's boy that I can always count on to give me hugs when I need it most. His favorite thing to do is draw/write, read, play with action figures(star wars and avengers being his favorites), do puzzles, and play the wii/tablet when we let him:) He loves Skylanders!

Wesley is our adorable energetic four year old son. He has the cutest dimple on his right cheek and the biggest smile. He is a ray of sunshine and makes us laugh at all of his funny antics. He is quite busy these days getting into everything he shouldn't be..sharpies included. Sometimes I'm just not sure I can keep up with him! He loves to climb on everything. And fall off of everything;) He is often seen with a bruise on his head! His favorite thing right now is cars. You can find him most days pushing a truck or car around the house as fast as his little legs will take him. He also adores being outside. We love this little guy so much!

He can say ball and uh-oh. Its so cute to hear him learn to talk! He has been an easy little guy too..never been a carseat hater and always takes good naps. And luckily is now sleeping through the night! We love our Lukey!
