Zehnders Splash Village

Jordan and I took the girls to Zehnders Splash Village in Frankenmuth today and both girls surprised us by going on and loving the two big water slides.  We had such a fun afternoon at the waterpark, and capped it off with dinner at Zehnders.  Unfortunately, since I was in the water I only got one shot of Hannah catching Ella at the bottom of a waterslide.  We ate dinner at 3:45PM and Zehnders was packed - who are these people?  The girls were in bed by 6:30PM tonight and exhausted from climbing the stairs to the waterslides over and over again.

Carson's 2nd Birthday

The girls flipped, spun, somersaulted and had the best time at Carson's Little Gym birthday.  Happy birthday, Carson!

Playdate with New Preschool Friends

Ella and I met up with Viv and Vera for a play date at E L Johnson Nature Preserve.  Vera was in Hannah's preschool class last year, and will be in Ella's class this year.  Ella seems so small!

First Lost Tooth

Hannah lost her first tooth tonight and she was ecstatic!  The big tooth is already partially in right behind the lost tooth - orthodontia here we come. Hannah went right to bed anxious for the tooth fairy to come.  My little girl is getting so big!

Night with Puppies and Cousins

We met up with Aunt Betsy, Matt and Mitch to play with puppys and create stuffed animals.  Ella chose a dalmation which she named "Puppy" and then dressed Puppy in a purple tutu and ballet slippers.  Hannah chose a unicorn and named it "Pinkie Pie" (big shock).  Then, Ella got to pick a puppy to play with - she chose a chocolate lab.  At first, she was petting the puppy and was SO happy.  And then it jumped on her and smacked her into the wall.  Poor Ella was done with puppies after that.  We headed to dinner where Matt and Mitch watched the girls while the adults caught up.  It was such a nice night, and fun to do something different. While I don't support these places with puppy mill dogs (we went because Aunt Betsy had a gift card), they did have some shelter pets too which did make me feel a bit better.

Frozen at the Club

The club had an Anna and Elsa pancake breakfast this weekend, so Jordan and Ian took the girls while Sara and I were away for a girls weekend.  Ella was of course scared of Anna and Elsa, so you won't see her anywhere near them!  She hates characters.

Little Miss Trouble

Hannah was never mischievous, so we are getting a double dose with Ella!  She it sweet as sugar, but such a trouble maker!!!!  Tonight at bedtime we heard her upstairs, but ignored it because she sounded happy and was staying upstairs.  When I went up at 9:30PM, this is what I found!  A combo of water, bubbles and toilet paper EVERYWHERE.  If she wasn't so adorable...
