One More for Love, Gracie and Cole introduce the Beautiful Baby Ellis

Have you ever been so proud of something you want to show everyone, but you don't really want to share. That is the state I'm in, I'm selfish I guess, I don't mind showing you Ellis, but I want to hold her. The problem is Gracie feels that way too, and Gina. Cole he likes to say "Mommy, Daddy I use one finger to touch her", so 3 out of 4 of us fight over her. I have never written a blog before and this is the best way to start.
INTRODUCING THE BEAUTIFUL BABY ELLIS
Born 6/11 at 2:46pm, 19in, and 6 lbs 12 oz. She has the most beautiful long dark hair, and cuddly little face. Ellis and Gina did very well yesterday and are doing even better today. Our family motto lately has been "One More for LOVE", and that it is.
Luke

Yippee -- Summer is here!!!!

We finished May with Gracie's dance recital, end of school parties, family visits, and High School Musical on ice. It was a busy month but FUN! We enjoyed our moms and uncle Clint's (Luke's brother) visit. Clint came in for about a week to hang with the kiddos. They couldn't get enough playtime in. Gracie did great at her recital. She's my performer. Dancing and singing are definitely her thing. Cole on the other hand was not to impressed with the whole recital and became quit restless. We had a blast at their end of school parties. Gracie's was a pirate/princess theme. We used our treasure maps to find hidden treasures, ate pizza, and Popsicles, and played games. Cole had a froggy themed party. We enjoyed playing games, eating chicken nuggets, and decorating cookies. To end our busy month we decided to take the kids to High School Musical on ice. We had a blast! Cole loves the basketball scene in the first show. He sings it all the time. Gracie thought it was so cool to see Troy, Gabriella, & Sharpay ice skating. Now we are on the final countdown for baby Ellis. We will induce next Wed. June 11th if she isn't here before then. Please pray for a healthy baby. We are so excited and can't wait to meet her!

Ellis's Baby Shower SS

Ellis's Baby Shower

Thursday morning our sweet moms flew in from Dallas to surprise Gracie and Cole and attend Ellis Faith's baby shower. We had a blast spending time with them! It just went by to fast. Thursday night was our girls night. Gracie was so excited for the baby shower! She was the star! We enjoyed doing our nails together to get ready. My dear friends Daphne, Shannon, & Jennifer out did themselves with a wonderful home cooked meal and delicious petit fours. We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful church family. We are on the home stretch for Ellis's arrival. The kids are so excited and I'm ready (I think.) Happy Mother's Day to all!!!!

Soccer

Gracie has enjoyed playing Soccer this spring. Her preschool offers an Upward Soccer program starting at 4 years old. This is a great program to start your kids with in Soccer. Every game is opened with a prayer and practice has an encouraging devotional. The kids have a blast! Of course the most exciting part is snacks at the end. Gracie was very proud of her goal is todays game. Cole couldn't wait to run on the field and give her a big high five. Way to go GRACIE!!!!
