I set him down to get his bath ready and he fell asleep, he looks so big!

Ella loves the camera but hates that she can't have it!

Notice her huge mess behind her, she really knows how to destroy!

Curlers

Last Sunday I was able to get a few curlers in Ella's hair before church and it curled pretty well but then we put a hat on her head and it ruined it!

Aunt Anna Comes to Visit!!!

Andrew's little sister Anna was so nice and helped me fly home with my kids! It was quite the experience I am sure we looked like such a spectacle at the airport! She was able to stay for a few days and we did some fun things! We took her back to Little Rock to fly out only to find out when we got home (2 almost 3 hrs later) that her flight was cancelled due to ice on the plane. They wouldn't give her a room so she got one herself and then was able to finally leave the next morning! I hope she ever wants to come back again after such an awful experience!

We took her to the Mississippi River!

We went to Crepe Maker and then introduced her to Charming Charlies an awesome jewelery store!

We went to Corkys, another must if you come to visit! It was a quick visit but fun and hope she wants to come back soon!

The rest of Utah

So we have been back from our Christmas in Utah for just over a week now so I guess I will put the rest of our break up, I haven't really been in the mood to do it!

Ella at Breakfast! I left her cup of milk on her tray and walked away and got on the computer, well she thought it was a great thing she dumped it and splashed in it like the bath! She put it in her hair and thought she was hilarious! I guess if I am going to leave her alone and ignore her this is what I get!

The little baby seat we used for Easton was the one my mom used when we were little and Ella took it apart one day and then tried to lay on the pad in the middle of the room and read her book!

She downed two yogurt creamies in about 10 min, the joys of teething!

We went out with my parents and sister and brother in law one night and saw a new cupcake place next to where we ate so we went to try it out. We weren't to impressed we could have made just as good if not better! Definitely not worth the $2+ that we paid per cupcake!

Andrew and I drove up to Heber the day before he left and this herd of Elk was really close to the highway!

My friend Marissa drove up late at night to see us before we left! It was fun to see her!

We had lunch with Andrew's sister Becky!

We went and saw my cousin Andrea who had a baby boy on January 7th!

It was a fun break and trip to Utah! We always pack so much in. Andrew left us on the 4th on our death beds! Ella and I had the flu the day he left and we are glad he didn't get it! It was a huge bummer, the whole house got it and so we missed almost a week of fun stuff we could have done! I was just glad I wasn't coming home that day or I don't know what we would have done, I couldn't hardly hold my head up! My sisters were so nice and took care of my kids! We were ready to come home and see Andrew though! Getting home was fun, I hate delays, men that watch you struggle with ten bags and two kids and don't offer to help, and mean flight attendants!

Easton's Blessing

On Sunday January 2nd we blessed Easton in my parents ward! He was one of three boys blessed that day! Andrew gave him such a nice blessing and we enjoyed a great day with our families!

I didn't get one good picture of him in his blessing outfit!

A little story about his outfit. I procrastinated as usual and realized at about 4 on Friday that I still hadn't bought or found anything so I called around and most places were closing right then and weren't going to be open on Saturday since it was New Years Day. My sister and sister in law ran to the mall to look around but I wasn't finding what I wanted I was getting worried. The next day I looked around online for more stores that might sell them and called a store and no one answered but I thought maybe I should call their other store just to see and someone answered! I was so excited, she said she would be open until about 5! My sister and I ran to that store and found just what we were looking for! The cute little older lady told me that the owner didn't know she was open and that she decided to open and work on some inventory that needed to be done! She asked if I was the one who had called! She was a huge blessing and answer to prayers! We found this outfit which I had seen online at another store around town but it was $120 but this store we went to sells their stuff for about 70% less! So glad I went where I did!
Ella was a mess on this day! She was sick and cutting teeth! She went home with my mom after the sacrament!

Trying to give Jocey a kiss!

Mississippi Snow

For somewhere that doesn't ever see snow we have had a lot this winter! This storm we got about 4 inches! We have had 3 or 4 other storms as well!

New Years Day

New Years Day we did a lot of fun things! Andrew and Ella went to lunch and spent the afternoon with his sisters while Easton and I went shopping at the Outlets with my sisters and mom! To end the day we went to my grandparents house for dinner and games. It was a great day!

She loves to be in his face or giving him kisses!
