As usual, there has been many happenings in the Smart household this last month. The biggest thing is that our little Ella turned one. Amazing!!! We had such a fun birthday party for her as well as we included mine, my moms and my mother-in-laws in the celebration.
Happy 1st Birthday to our sweet Ella Rose!
Hmmm - this is fun....
You mean this is really OK???
It takes real concentration to be a true master cake smasher!
Hey - isn't there any more?
Success!!!
Ella got lots of fun presents, but her favorite by far was the balloon from Aunt Becca and Uncle Mike.

Happy Birthday to the rest of us too!

Everyone in their birthday hats - even Ella wore one for about 2 seconds.Kate earned a leadership award this year in school. They invited the parents to the year end assembly where she was able to get her award in front of the school. She was thrilled to get that medal and the very cool gift certificate to Applebee's. I am very proud of my Katiebug - good job sweetie!
It was also the end of Basketball season this last month. Thomas did so well this year in improving his ability to play. This team was all third graders and only had one player that had ever played organized sports before. Though the team only won two games, they had so much fun just learning the game. I am very proud of Thomas for giving his best this season and can't wait for these guys to come back next year bigger and even better!
Go GRIZZLIES!
