Princess Tea Party



Today Ella joined Landon at school for a royal princess morning.  She was pampered by getting her nails and hair done.  Followed by designing crowns and making a jeweled necklace.  Then after the girls were all done up they had a tea party :) Thank you Ms. Misty for your fun summer activities! 

God Bless America











Happy 4th of July :) Great food, fireworks, and friends = Great Day!

Canyon Lake











Our friends recommended we should take a lil' drive to Canyon Lake.  The kids were excited when we passed Ghost Town cuz they thought we were going there for another train ride or for their yummy ice cream cones but they we in for a special surprise.  Even though the ride through the mountains made my stomach turn and ears pop like crazy it was worth it! The views were breathtaking and beautiful.  We can't wait to go back!

Dino Museum











 Mining for Gold

 "Look Mommy, I have LOTS of gold"

Lil' Miss Ella has been obsessed with Dinosaurs lately.  Her new favorite show is Dino Dan on Nick Jr. Every time we go to the store we have to buy a new Dino for her collection.  She may love to dress like a girlie girl but she is a Tomboy at Heart! I discovered a Dinosaur Museum in Mesa and we made a special trip to surprise Ella!

Library Fun






We joined Landon's school friends for the weekly program at the library.  It was a great way for me to finally meet some of the moms cuz Landon has been begging for friends to come over and play at the house.  This week they learned an African dance!  The kids had a blast dancing along to the beat of the music and even got to test out the drum.  Ella was a lil' momma's girl that day so she was there but missed out on pics :(

Dancing Queen


 Her favorite was wearing Tap Shoes :)
Ella was a "Dancing Queen" at her first dance class.  Ms. Janice did an awesome job and we are thankful we chose Dancin' Feet Studio! I was so proud of her, but most importantly, she loved every second of it :)  Ella is looking forward to next week and loves practicing her dancing moves.
