Exciting But Nerve Racking

WE BOUGHT OUR FIRST HOUSE........

WE ARE MOVING IN TODAY!!!!!

Friends

So me and my friend Jenna have a great deal going and we take each others baby one day a week so the other can work without having to pay a babysitter and worry about what happens at random places.. It has worked out so great!! Today we are watching her little boy Stone. I thought I would take some pictures of our day them playing and napping (ahhh) She is 5 months old and he is 9 months old so it is a busy day for surprisingly very easy. Both babies are so good it is cake.. Stone never cries he is the best baby..

                        Here they are just playing with the toys

                                                 Just hanging out



                                       Nap Time!!

Slow life

We have nothing going on really so I thought I would just add some recent pics of Ella she is growing so fast...ENJOY!!

Ella was so Brave

WE DID IT WE GOT HER EARS PIERCED!!

  Here is the story......  We went to the ogden clinic to have them done, I felt better about the doctor doing them. They told me they would do them at the same time, The Dr. would do one and the nurse the other.. Well of course when I got there the Dr. had something wrong with her hand and did not have the strength the use the gun. So they have to do them one at a time. I was sad for her:(    Well they put the numbing stuff on let it sit for a bit, then we had to strap her in the papoose, They did the first one and she did not even cry she just got this pouty lip, when the nurse grabbed her head to do the next one she started crying she knew what was coming.. The second they were done they unstrapped her picked her up and she was done crying. She was so brave.. I was proud of her.  It was no where near as bad as her shots.

I love them I am so glad we did it. Although I can not wait until I can put a little bit smaller earrings in. 

Getting set up and strapped in the papoose

Here they are doing the first one.


She did not cry just got this big pouty lip



and for the second She screamed

What a difference in only 3 months

                                                 3 weeks old                                                 3.5 months old.
                                                                     

Isn't it crazy how much they grow in just 3 months. She is getting so chubby:)

Blessing Day

Today we blessed Ella. It went really great. Ella's Great Grandpa Peterson blessed her. It was very special! She cried the whole first of sacrament I thought for sure she was going to cry right through it. My brother was in charge of the soothie he said he was holding it in her mouth pretty hard, but it worked and she was silent the entire time. Thanks Kev! My grandpa's blessing was very beautiful and special. We tried to write it down while he was saying it but we were all crying and he was talking fast that we did not get it. My mom and step dad both had pda recording it So hopefully they picked it up. Lets cross our fingers.

We would like to Thank our family and friends for the support in coming and helping with bringing food or after. I also need to Thanks Drews parents They donated 17lbs of ground beef for the sloppy joes.
Also michelle, kevin, Jess, Grandma deb for helping cook the meat and rice crispies.

Thanks to chase, Michelle and Jason for sneaking out early and getting tables and food ready.

We love everyone so much and are glad we have so much family support. I think we counted 74 people that were there

THANK YOU EVERYONE.

Enjoy some beautiful blessing dress pictures of Ella
