We have made the transition. Here's the bed. 
Here's the Lady acting like she wants to be in it.
She still looks happy.
She's now being forced to stay in there under the threat of "no Spongebob blanket".
Brother lost his Spongebob blanket and was replaced by all Ella's blankets ... it's for the greater good, right.
Chris actually carried Ella the entire 2.7 mile hike.
Billions of tadpoles!!!
Oh, yes he did!
Ella and Daddy at the park one evening when Aiden was out with Manda. She's fearless and actually climbed up there to meet her dad. It may not look high, but it is about 6 feet.
My son graduated from Orange belt to Orange belt Leader.
For those of you who don't know, Aiden is a big fat G-I-R-L when it comes to trying anything new. So, I allowed him this lolly pop (something I would never do) as a reward for riding Star Tours at Disneyland (something he would never do). It did take two different attempts to actually get him on the ride, but when it was over he said "Mom, that was awesome".
Exhausted as can be, he went to the Dodger Game with his father on Mother's Day. He was reluctant to leave my side, but I told him I really needed a Dodger dog, with no mustard, for Mother's Day.
For those of you who do not know, Spongebob was Ella's first word. Not in its entirety, no, but something like "mm bub". So, Aiden and I saw these PJ's at Walmart and took them home to her. She actually squealed. Just so you know, she didn't take them off for several days.
It's been a long time coming but after several weeks of dental torture, multiple Saturday shifts at work and Chris's study time, we were finally able to have a Saturday just the four of us. So ... everyone is ready to go.
I'm asking Ella to smile in this picture and I think she was saying "What is this about?"
But, it worked out ok.
It didn't take long, Aiden's almost 5 and now doesn't cry when he gets to ride a pony.
Ella and Chris rode the train. HAHA! I said I had to pee; there was NO WAY I was going on the train with Ella. By the time they got back, he was ready to kill her. Aiden had an incident with a bee two years ago on the train, which he still remembers, so he refused to go.
Not quite tall enough, even standing on a bail of hay. He is actually jumping in this picture.
There was a juice stop.
And ducks ...
Aiden gets a shower!
Ella looses her ball
Chris is teaching Aiden to throw the ball.
Easter Time Out! 
She really isn't interested in hunting for eggs.
