Today was Ella's first cheer clinic at Woodland Junior High. She just walked out into that big gym and started dancing. Check out my big girl getting her groove on! I could not believe the emotions of seeing her out there, so brave and grown up. I teared up and had to leave the gym to compose myself! Not sure what came over me. She is just so amazing!

Ok, so I have wanted to start a blog for a long time, but have never had the sudden urge to get it going until today. I left Cole alone for a few minutes upstairs to load the dishwasher and came upstairs to discover him in the middle of this mess, and I realized that I never want to forget anything my children do. So, here I am starting a blog and here is the picture that started it all. With all of the amazing things that have happened to us over the last few years, bringing babies into the world, countless firsts (first words, first steps, first days of school), starting our own business, it is funny that this-a playdate with toilet paper-was my call to action.
