So, it just dawned on me that I never posted about Ella's 3rd b-day, how dare I!! The kid had 3 or 4 b-day "parties" if you will, as we were in Georgia visiting family at the time.
Ella turning 3 was hard for me. I guess it just officially signals that she is no longer my baby (I know she will always be my baby but you know what I mean...) 3 means starting public school, which was SO hard for me, I no longer know what she does every second of every day! 3 is just so big, and honestly if I could I would freeze her at this age (maybe not today as she is being very naughty these past few weeks, but a month and a half ago when she was still 2 I would have!) I think she is even having a little trouble with getting older, a couple of weeks ago as we were leaving school we were walking out to the car. In the parking lot she gets in front of me and says "up." I say "no Ella. You are a big girl you can walk to the car." Ella says "NO I BABY!!!" Which I about died and even got a little teary, a) because she put 3 words together and said them out loud so that I could understand and b) because she apparently knows that being a baby is the opposite of being a big girl. That's one smart cookie I have : )
Anyhow, here are pictures of her 1st b-day bash at my grandparent's (Ella's great grandparents) house!!

She is just too cute for words...can't believe she is 3 already too? What a little smartie too...so sweet! I love reading your blog...haven't commented all that much, I am sometimes bad about doing that...I read and read and think I will go back and comment...but this time...I didn't click off...so anyway....Your Ella is a DOLL!
She really is incredibly cute, I just love seeing her pictures, and such a smart girl too. Wow 3...I am just wondering how I will feel when Saira is 3. I know the feeling of wanting to keep them the way they are and protect them forever. Ella is doing great and you must be very proud of her. brings a smile on my face whenever I see her pictures :)
Man, I can't believe they are 3, either! It's just crazy! Her hair is just so beautiful! Love it! Miss ya'll.
Too sweet!!! Love all the pics...Hunter is adorable with those cupcakes!! I cant believe she is 3 already either...the last time i saw her she was only an infant!!!! Time flies way too fast!! Looks like she had a great time with that cake!! We love you guys and miss you bunches!!!! Love you all~ Aunt Tami and family
Sooo cute! Addy's 3rd bday is Sunday and she doesn't say a word so I would have cried too!
Kacey.....she's adorable!!! Love her sassy little smile!!!
I too worry about JEB being in a public school.....where kids can be so cruel!! BUT we've been so blessed....wherever we've gone, as the kids love him and he always has a slew of 'girlfriends' giving him hugs and wanted goodbyes before we leave. I'm sure I worry about it more than he does.....he doesn't really care!
