Her very first big girl bike!

If you remember this post, Ella just recently taught herself how to ride a big girl bike (with training wheels). She learned on our neighbors bike and after a week or two we realized she needed her own to ride.

Off to the store we went...


Testing bike after bike...


Until we found "the one"...


All that testing works up an appetite...




Mommy & Ella... (Can you tell how much she likes ICEE's? LOL)


Daddy & Ella...


Helping Daddy put it together...


Riding her new bike!


I couldn't help but include this photo. A couple days ago the kids were taking turns drawing chalk outlines of each other up and down the sidewalks. It was so funny, I was waiting for the cast of Law & Order to show up! HA!

Hi Heather! Woo Hooness for Ella and her new big girl bike! She's so cute on it. Now those drawings do look like a crime scene! :) She has your eyes.
Are you coming to my party on Friday? You and Ella could snap for me. I'd love it.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

Ella is going to have so much fun riding her new bike! Our 5 year old neighbor just learned to ride his "big boy" bike without his training wheels in our half circle driveway.
