Kamas

After we got back from Montana we were home for a day and then headed to the cabin in Kamas. We spent the rest of the week enjoying the cool weather and beautiful scenery!

This is what happens when you have 4 kids playing with you, you get to be the guinea pig! They kept calling her their cheerleader firefighter!

This picture is blurry but it is the best we have of the guys trying to get the mouse we had the last day we were there!

My little sister Sarah's birthday cupcakes that Ella couldn't wait to try!

4th of July part 2

We made it back in time the 5th of July from Montana to enjoy my families bbq.

Ella loves to take things in and out of the cup holder on our chairs

Playing some Volleyball

Montana

For the 4th of July Weekend we went up to Montana for a family reunion with Andrew's family. It was so fun and the weather was nice and cool! We spent most the time at his families cabin eating and playing! We also got to go to the local drive-in and eat, Andrew was excited to eat a wagon wheel (hamburger thing) and a rum hot-n-tot (coke with rum and cinnamon flavoring) which was really good!

Andrew got the fire going!

We drove to the top of the mountain to an abandoned radar station and the views were amazing!

Andrew's grandma, mom, and uncles

Everyone that was able to make it!

Family Pics

Before Jared and Celyn moved my family had some pictures done because we aren't sure when we will all be together again, it was hard to get everyone together and on time but it worked out!

All the Girls
All of us

Taylorsville Days

We were excited to make it home in time for T-Ville Days, it will probably the last time for a few years. The fireworks were great as always so we went two nights! The second night they had cannons which surprisingly Ella thought were ok, she also loved the fireworks which surprised me.

Before the fireworks listening to the Beatles tribute band

Enjoying our company from England we were excited to see my cousin Brent and his wife Emily for a few days before they headed back over the ocean!

Wedding

June 24th my cousin Camille was married in the Salt Lake temple. It was such a wonderful day!

Ella was lucky enough to come to the temple and luncheon at the Lion House (so yummy!) where she was really hyper.
Outside the temple after the ceremony

Jake and Camille - her dress was gorgeous

My mom, two of my sisters, Ella, and I waiting for them to come out of the temple

She was exhausted once again!

My mom and Ella

They had their reception in my aunt and uncles beautiful backyard!

They served sherbet with their buffet they had lime, orange, and huckleberry to match the colors of the wedding, orange, lime green, and purple.

They put in this fun swing before the wedding!

Lagoon

The day after we got to Utah we went to Lagoon with my family. It was my grandparents Stake day so we got entrance passports for free and just enjoyed walking around. It was perfect weather that day around 75 degrees a huge difference from where we had just come from!

My little sister and two of my cousins did the free falling sky coaster perfect for 13 year olds to do!
Ella was so exhausted wondering why we drag her everywhere!

Ella's Secret

Shocked....we still are and we have known for a long time! We are half way done, due December 1st! Yes 13 months apart they will be, hopefully we will find out this week or next what we are having. We told our families just over a month ago and they are pretty much the only ones that know until now! Ella sure seems happy about it in this picture if she only knew what was about to become her reality!!!

Swimmin at Grandma's!!!!

Enjoying a little swim time in Grandma Pond's backyard! It was actually really cold water and I didn't like it all that much but it turned out ok!

Pizza and Waving

Last night we went out with some friends to a yummy pizza place. We ordered a 29" pizza! It was so huge and very tasty!

Ella's new trick is waving. She waves at everyone she sees!

These were taken from Andrew's cell phone so they aren't the greatest quality!

Swimmin

Since it has been so hot here (90 degrees with 90% Humidity = HOT) we decided to finally go out to the pool we look at everyday! There wasn't hardly anyone there which is unusal for our pool we decided to take advantage! It felt so nice!

Didn't mean to make this picture look this way but I loved how it came out!

Her $3 starfish floaty

I just love these two shots!

Videos

Ella makes us laugh everyday! She is so funny she will just laugh at us no matter what noise we make. Everytime we try to get it on camera she stops!

A few weeks ago she started saying ba ba ba and ma ma ma. She also loves to sit and spit and the last couple days she has started smacking her lips. She will smack them while eating between bites and says mmm, she must really love what we give her!

Six Months!

On Monday Ella turned Six Months Old! I cannot believe it! She is such a happy baby and hardly ever complains! This morning we went in for her check up and she had four shots and a toe prick! She now weighs 13 lbs 3 oz. Her head is 17" and she is 23 1/2" long. Her head is in the 50 th percentile and her weight and height are below 5%. I think I might measure her length again myself because she seems longer then that to me.

We had to get a shot of her back pockets cause they are just to cute, the matching shoes are a little to big!

Sitting

The last two days Ella has decided that sitting up is the cool thing to do. Before it was 30 sec to a minute and she was done but she will now sit for 10, 20, and this particular day for 45 min!
