5th Grade Science Project

My Science project oops, I mean, Kaiya's Science project turned out really well. I had a couple weeks of lots of stress but we pulled something together. She decided to see if the the Hefty Fresh Extend Bags really work. She used bananas and took pictures of them every few days. One in a bag, one in the fridge and one on the counter. It was crazy to see how well the bags actually work!

Baby Girl is 5!

Seriously...Ella is 5? Where has time gone! She had a super fun/busy birthday. We started the morning going to Chuck E Cheese. Kash and Sandy were there to surprise her. We stayed for a couple hours and played lots of games. 

I have a better picture of them but I think it's on my phone.

We stopped by McDonalds and grabbed some Happy Meal's and brought it home. Stacey and Casey came over to eat lunch.

Presents from Casey!

Casey was going to his dad's house so he left. Meema, Papa, Stacey, Nate, Amy, Emma, Carter, Greg and his twins came over for some dinner and cake. It was a great day!

Ella told the lady at the cake place what she wanted. This is what they designed together. :)

Kaiya had dance but when she came home she made sure to give Ella some birthday love.

Ella is such a joy to our family. She is both super sassy and super loving. She is a wonderful younger and older sister. Ella is excited for Kindergarten. She loves to learn! She is beginning to read and can read lots of 3 letter words. She loves to dance and do gymnastics. In gymnastics she has learned a lot this year and is always doing cartwheels or summersaults. Ella has the biggest smile that will light up any room. She likes to ride her bike and look for bugs outside. She makes her bed on her own now. It's all about the accessories with her. She is always wearing bracelets, necklaces and rings. She also always wants to put a big hair bow in her hair.

We love our crazy Ella!

Chase!

The next morning we woke up and hung out for a little while. We headed over to the park to let the kids run off some energy before the drive back. It was really good to see everyone and we are already looking forward to go back in August when Ava is here.
