Our 3rd year in a row taking the kids to Boo at the Zoo in Santa Barbara. 

Ella's school had their fall field trip at the Santa Barbara Zoo. I was able to go and spend the day with them.

Ella still gets car sick so she rode to the zoo with me in my car instead of taking the bus with her class. :) she really wants to take the bus on a field trip... I am hoping that she will soon outgrow getting carsick. Jacob and Matthew came with us and we had a wonderful

Time at the zoo.

Ella has such amazing teachers and classmates, not to mention the wonderful parents her class has. We are so thankful for everyone and all the wonderful memories we are creating together!

Ella and Jacobs fall festival for both their schools was at Legacy. It was an extremely hot day, but that didn't stop the kids from having a blast! Bouncers, games, food, prizes and friends... What more could a kid want! ;)

Ella as Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony for Halloween. Ella loves My Little Pony! So to be a pony herself for Halloween was beyond exciting for her!

The first Friday of every month at Ella's school is free dress. Although she does love wearing uniforms to school; she does look forward to picking out a special outfit to wear that special day every month!

We went to an American Girl party at Emma’s house and it was AMAZING!!!

Ella’s school had a Candyland themed spirit day. The kids were supposed to dress up as candy. Ella went as a blue m&m. On the same day Ella received a Character Caught award at her assembly! Vincent. Jacob, Matthew and I all went to the assembly to watch her get called up in front to receive her award. Her and Mackenzie both received the award for helping another classmate when he was hurt. Ella has been wanted to get one of these awards since she heard about them in Kindergarten, so to say she was beyond excited is an understatement. And her emotional mommy of course couldn’t have been more proud of her!
