Memorial Day Pool Party!

Last night we went to a pool party with our small group friends from "Monday Night Lights". It was Ella's first time swimming in a "big" pool this summer. She was in the pool a ton last summer, but was still so young. It took her a little while to get used to feeling like she was going to sink, but once she got comfortable, she seemed to really like it. She stayed in for a few hours!! Her poor little toes were so wrinkly!! She started out the day with Daddy and then I decided to brave the water and give him a chance to play with the boys and not have to worry about her. We mostly sat on the steps, but she did ask here and there to go in farther.

Mommy and Dolly had a little too much fun picking out bathing suit stuff at Gymboree! Randy and I couldn't stop giggling once we had her all ready to go!

The ball was a big hit with Ella!

Later in the night, Randy and I were completely surprised, when they brought out cake and presents for Noah!! They called it a "Baby Sprinkle" lol and it was perfect. He got some really cute new outfits and a handmade baby sling that will be perfect for carrying him around! Ella also got two new dresses that are really cute. I think she enjoyed finding presents that were for her, too! When we got home last night, she "helped" (almost more work for me!) me put all of his new stuff in his closet and dresser. I love hearing her say over and over again that his stuff is "so cute!" (sounds like, "Toe Coot!") Thank you to all of our dear friends who planned and brought us stuff. We love you very much!!
