Life With Ella

Ella played futsal (indoor soccer)  for the first time this winter.  Most of the girls on the team are from the Black Widows – the soccer team that Ella has been playing on since pre-school.  They had an awesome season and finished it off as the undefeated champions!  Ella’s skills have improved so much since she started playing futsal.  Here are some shots of Ella and her teammates – The Shadowbolts with their trophies.

 So much happiness everywhere!

Ella very tired after practice on Friday.

Ella and Mommy went to Ella’s first women’s college basketball game with Rachel, Liz and Isabel.  Stanford won!

 Colette sent these pics of Ella and her classmates on a field trip to the Bay Model in Sausalito.

 Love this shot of Ella and Panda.

We’ve had quite an amazing two weeks.  I’m going to start with Spring Training.  We went to Scottsdale 2 weeks ago with the Giants Community Fund.  We had a great time with our friends from the fund, got to see Cindy, David, Bob, Jackie and Emma, and also got to see grandma, papa, Anne and David.  I’m going to start with Spring Training.

 Classic airplane shot.  Off we go!

Here are some pics from the pool…

 Ella always has a blast with her friend Jesse.

 Ella, Jesse and Bella have spent quite a few spring trainings together.

 and now for the throwback…

We had a very special morning on the field on Sunday morning.  We were able to watch the Giants warm up before the game.  Here are some pictures of the players.

And now some fun shots with the players and us!  We had some great selfies and photo bombs and some actually legit pics.

Here are tow shots of Ella and Jesse doing their work for the Junior Giants.

On Sunday evening, after a really fun day of baseball, we went over to cousin David and Jackie’s house to hang out with sweet cousin 2 year old Emma.  We also got to see Aunt Cindy and Uncle Bob who drove up from Tucson so that we could all get together.  I didn’t get any shots of the adults, but I did get some shots of Ella and Emma.  They were so sweet with each other.  Emma kept hanging onto Ella’s leg and Ella loved it!

On Monday morning, we had the best visitor!  Grandma and Anne drove to our hotel and we went to the Musical Instrument Museum.  I don’t have any shots of Anne, but I will include a little dancing video in my next entry.

 And this is what’s happening back in San Francisco.

Sweet mom and daughter

I have to go to sleep now,  I am very sleepy.  More tomorrow.  xoxoxoxo
