5 more weeks!

The count down has begun! Well...I really started a long time ago, but there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel! We have 5 weeks of school left. 23 days with students and 2 work days. I can't wait! And the dreaded TAKS test is this week. Ugh! I hope the kids do well.
Anyways, here are some sweet pics of my little girl. I just love her hair in pony tails. I can't believe she is going to be 2 in two months. Where does the time go?

Beautiful weekend!

We had a fabulous weekend! Daniel, Ella, and I went to Burnet, TX outside of Austin to support Daniel in his adventure race. We got to see him come in with his buddy Chuck a couple of times and I got to see my man in action! Ella and I played at the park and the lake while they were off racing. We just decided to make a weekend trip of it and relax. The cabin we stayed in was awesome. It was right on the lake and Ella loved it. We can't wait to go back when it's a little warmer so that we can swim too! Oh...and by the way...only 7 more weeks of school. YES!Chuck and Daniel making a pit stop to change gear.



Our cabin
Ella was lovin' the sand.



The view from our cabin.

One of her favorite past times.
Gotta love rocking chairs!

Playing at the park

It was so hard getting her to come back in the cabin after being outside playing in the dirt.

I love her little face! I could just eat it up!


Bluebonnets!!!

She didn't want to pose AT ALL! So we just let her do her thing. It's just easier. She is a little Miss Priss and has to do it her way. But we love her more for it! Of course her daddy just eggs her on.

It's official!

Well....I officially resigned from my job last week. It was bittersweet feeling, but a good one none the less. Only 9 weeks of school left! I've been counting down the days, so it's probably going to go by really sloooooooooooooow! I'm so excited though. I can't wait to be able to spend my days with my baby girl. I just wanted to share my exciting news. I have no idea why this is underlined. Anyway....here are a few pics of my sweet girl on Easter.Easter morning

Hunting for eggs

Spring Break - Wister, OK

(If you want to view the pics in the order they were taken, then start at the bottom.) Daniel, Ella, and I went to Wister, OK for a short spring break trip. It's kind of an annual thing that Daniel and I have done over spring break since college, and now we get to share that tradition with Ella. She had a fabulous time! She is such an outdoors girl. We cabin camped of course, which is my kind of camping. Daniel would prefer real camping, but I've been getting my way the past few years. Only time will tell how long I can get away with that! We all had a great time, but we were also all glad to be home in our own beds. Oh, and we tuckered out Ella so well that she is finally back to her 8:00 pm bedtime. That time change is hard on little ones!



Acting silly before bed.

So serious!
Our dog Pudge jumping in the water. Ella loved watching that.

Pudge

Daddy and daughter. So sweet! I see this in many future camping trips to come.

Her stinker face.

This is what she does when we tell her to make a silly face.

A few self portraits. Can you tell she is saying cheese?

This is her morning face. I think she looks a lot like Daniel when she is tired or just woke up.

I love this pic of her profile. She looks so angelic.

Her very own tent.

Lots of exploring.
