For those of you who don't know, we are relocating to TN for Brett's job in less than a week in a half. We're really excited! Brett has been working out of town since November and it will be nice to be together as a family again, not just for short weekends. We are really going to miss FL. It will be hard being so far away from the beach. Luckily, before all the rain came, we went to the beach for the afternoon. I think it is supposed to rain for the next week and a half, so it might have been our last trip for a little while. Ella was too busy playing to have her picture taken.

Lately I have been sooo worn out with everything going on that I have been trying to bribe Ella to help me around the house. I told her that if she picked up her toys and helped Mommy during the day, I would give her a quarter every night and she could buy a treat at the end of the week with the money she earns. The first day she did really good and was my big helper. Yesterday, I guess she decided it was too much so she found our extra change bowl in our room and took all the money out of it and put it in her sheep bank. The lesson learned is bribery doesn't work. At least not for my child.

These are a few pictures from Easter. I don't know why I even blog. I can never keep up with it. Between pregancy, finding a place in TN, finding a renter here, packing and Brett being gone, there's just no time to blog.

St. Patrick's Day

These are a few pictures from St. Patrick's Day. We didn't do much, but had fun making our green cake.

A sunny day after church.

This is a dress Ella got for her birthday from Brett's sister Kim. It's perfect for Spring!

The past three years...

I'm not a big fan of country music, but have you ever heard the song "You're gonna miss this"? That is my theme song. It seems like time is just clicking by. Some days we look forward to retirement and when our kids are grown so we can travel around the world and do things we can't do with kids. Other days I wish time would just stop so I can have Ella at this age forever. I am so excited about the new baby coming but I am really going to miss my time with just Ella. She is so much fun! I can't believe how big she is! I am in total amazement of how much happiness motherhood can bring!!

Happy Birthday Ella!!

Ella turned 3 last week! I can't believe it. The past three years have gone by so fast! We had a little party with just the three of us on the weekend. Brett was able to come home so we wanted to keep it just the three of us. On her birthday I took her to Chuck E. Cheeses with a friend. She had so much fun! It was our first Chuck E. Cheese experience and once a year will be enough for me. Here are some pictures from our party!
