Ella Cate celebrated her 9th birthday January 6th!! We were a little late celebrating due to some family emergencies, but she had a blast. We held it at Jump on Saturday, January 28th! She and all her sweet friends had a great time. I can't believe our baby is 9! Time is flying by so fast. We gave her a bicycle as her gift! Now, if she can just learn to ride without training wheels!!










Christmas Morning:
She was so excited this year. Santa brought her a pandora bracelet, a sorry board game and an electric scooter with a helmet! I think he was pretty good to her! She is enjoying each of them. I had a great surprise this year. My fabulous hubby surprised me with a gift I never would have thought he would have gotten!! A trip to NYC!!! He combined my Christmas with my 40th birthday!! We are going in May and I cannot wait!!





We started our Christmas season when we were at Disneyworld. We came home and before we could swap cars back with my mom (we had borrowed hers for the trip), one of my nephews had a horrible wreck and totaled ours! We are just very thankful that he is ok. Then Jay and I had our Christmas couples bunco party! We both "bigged" at the same time!! Next we celebrated with Jay's mom! She gave EC a pogo stick and you can see she loves it!! We hosted Christmas Eve with my family at our house this year! We all had so much fun. I am so blessed with a wonderful family!!








Here is just a vast array of pictures from things that have been going on over the last 6 months or so. They range from Ella Cate's first day of 3rd grade and our beach trip to tailgating MSU style to Halloween and our Disney trip! We have had lots of fun!!

Hi everyone!
I am going to try this blogging thing again. It has been a while and we have been very busy! Ella Cate is now in the 3rd grade and has just had her 9th birthday. I will post a few pics from the party later. We had a great end to 2011. We took our first trip to Disneyworld over the Thanksgiving holidays. It was absolutely wonderful! I think Jay and I enjoyed it as much as she did. The look on her face at everything will be in my mind forever. It was definitely the most magical place!! Here are a few pics of our trip. We can't wait for the next trip!!
