Day 264

Today was Ella's school pictures day. The weather, 90 degrees, made it difficult to make a decision on her clothes. She got a lot of new fall/winter clothes while we were in Georgia, but for a kid who has heat issues and goes to school in the afternoon in NINETY degree heat you can't put her in long sleeves. Almost all of her summer stuff has characters, pictures, or writing on it, cute stuff but would look weird half cut off in the picture, so we resorted to Ella's fancy wear from the cruise : ) I took some pictures before she headed off to school because who knows what she will look like when it's actually time to get her pic taken...not to mention she had very watery eyes today.

After school we went and helped hand out shirts for our Step Up for Down Syndrome walk that is tomorrow morning.  Ella was excited to see "Baby Beau!" 

After that we headed to the ValleyFest parade.  The kids had fun....mostly.  Well, Hunter had fun anyways : )

Ella played with Xochitl's hair a lot...like petting her.  You know you have a good friend when she doesn't mind you doing that : )

And...when they GET you and know when noises are going to make you freak out again and so they cover your ears for you...thank you Isali!!

Lots of police cars and fire trucks!!!

The 4 kiddos!
