I can't believe Ellasen is 9 years old today! She is growing into such an awesome kid! We feel so lucky that she is ours. Ellasen loves to dance, lyrical ballet specifically. She is really turning into quite the ballerina. She is so long and lean and graceful. We just love to watch her dance...which she does...all over the house! She has also been taking tennis lessons and golf lessons. She loves to swim on the swim team, and she is getting really fast. Her favorite hobbies are still reading ( we can't keep her in books! ) and arts and crafts. She is so creative! One of our favorite things about Ellasen is what a great big sister she is. Eden and Everly adore her and she takes that seriously. She plays with them all the time! Her teachers describe her as kind, smart and a great friend and helper. We really couldn't ask for a more awesome kiddo!

Here is her birthday interview. I just love her answers.

We can't wait to see what the next year has in store for this sweet pea.

We have been enjoying lots of fall weather and activities this month. The twins have had fun with fall projects at school.

We visited the pumpkin patch and took a hay ride this month.

Then we carved those pumpkins!

We have had fun decorating our home for fall too!

Eden and Everly invited me to their fall festival this year. I had so much fun watching them have fall fun!

Our neighborhood has had fun this month Booing and Boozing each other!

/We had some awesome visitors this month too. My brother Jason and my nephew Elias came to town. We went to the Goldrush Days Festival and mini golfing.

I have been playing a lot of tennis on the weekends because my team has made it to the playoffs so Tim took the girls on a hike all by himself this month. They had a great time.

Halloween was so much fun this year! We made a super spooky cake and had yummy Chicago food with the Durrs and some other neighbors. Then the kiddos were off to trick or treat. Ellasen is The Cat in the Hat, the twins are Thing 1 and Thing 2, and it is hard to tell, but Tim and I are Nick and Sally. We had a great time!
