Okay, okay. I can't believe that I'm actually trying to create a blog. Rick will surely disapprove! After April sent me her blog invite, I thought, I really need to do that. So, we'll give it a go. Hopefully, it will allow our friends and family who aren't around us every day to see how we're doing and what we've been up to. 
Today was Ella's FIFTH birthday! I can't believe my baby is FIVE years old! Really? No way! She is such a cool chick already and although she gets into her share her of trouble, I think she's starting to find her way......... Here's a picture of her today in her birthday outfit. She's been wanting a pettiskirt for over a year; ever since she wore Reagan's in Ashland one time. So, she got one, and I must say it suits her perfectly, don't you think? She is the girliest of girls!
She's having three mini-parties this year. Last night we celebrated with the neighbor kids and had pizza and cupcakes. Her favorite present was the Barbie with the dog that poops and Flarp. Have you ever heard of this? Flarp is like that slime-stuff that was around when I was a kid. Only this stuff makes "farting" noises when you push your hand down into it. Really. Is this my kid? My girly girl?
Ella and her Flarp. Thanks, Melissa!
