ellis family reunion

We just got back from the Ellis family reunion.  All most everyone was able to gather together in Surfside Beach, Texas.  We stayed in a beautiful beach house right on the water.  Two of my brothers live out of state and it was nice seeing them and their families again.  We spent most of the time relaxing on the beach, enjoying each others company.  At night, each family took a turn preparing a big delicious meal.  I loved seeing all the little cousins running around, playing together.  So many good memories were made and I was sad when the week came to an end.

Avery, Ava, Laila, and Kyla

Aiden and Evan

Baby Huey, we celebrated his second birthday on Friday night.

These two never left each others side all week.  I love that they are best friends!

summer fun!

21 months

It's hard to believe Evelyn will be turning 2 soon!  Recently Evelyn was sitting really close to the edge of my bed and I told her to be careful or she was going to fall and she said, "fall asleep?"  Haha!

most improved player

Aiden received the most improved player award at the jr. high athletics award ceremony.  He loves basketball and has worked really hard this year.  We are so proud of him!

pictures from saturday

We went to an earth day celebration and butterfly release. The beautiful gardens where the event was held had been closed since Hurricane Harvey.  The weather was perfect to relax and enjoy the gardens.  I love Saturdays like this!

eight grade banquet

It's that time of year again!  It's seems like I was just taking pictures of Dario heading off to the eighth grade banquet.  I can't believe we'll have an other child in high school! I know Dario and Aiden will be happy to be reunited again.

dahlia lost her first tooth!

Recently Dahlia lost her first tooth!  She is growing up too fast! I love seeing her reach all of these special milestones. It was really lose for days and finally she let Brian pull it out. Dahlia was so excited to put her tooth under her pillow for the tooth fairy.  When Dahlia found money and a note from the tooth fairy she woke everyone up to show them.

happy easter!
