Nothing much

So not much has happened in our lives recently so I will just add some pictures I have taken lately. Maybe next time I will have something fun. OOOOhhhhh Ya like EASTER
But for now


So It was about time for bed and Ella was watching a movie in her toy room to settle down. When I went to check on her this is how I found her. In the baby swing almost asleep.. So funny she loves this thing



A little outside fun. Riding the bike and going down the slide. She loves to be outside and begs to go out all the time. Cant wait until we can go out everyday



Does anyone else think she looks big/old in this picture, but just when i start to think she is finally growing....

She stands next to her cousin Krew who is 1 year younger, and they are the same size. and I realize she is still a RUNT. but we LOVE her anyway

The day finally came..........

Well the time came to get rid of the SOOTHIE...
So we went down to Build-a-Bear(thanks for the idea Jess) and had her put it inside the bear so she could snuggle the bear instead of sucking on the soothie. I am not sure she really gets it but she is getting better.
So we got there and I let her pick what ever animal she wanted, she picked a monkey. she just learned what the monkey says so she thinks they are pretty funny. Then we got to step on the pedal and stuff the Monkey, Then she got to put its heart in and then it was time for the soothie, she put it in no problem. Then on to picking out the clothes there are so many options she liked the shoes the most. She could not decide....

She was a little confused on the ride home when she was so tired and asking for the soothie and i kept handing her the monkey LOL
The next 3 night were awful, she would cry for 1 1/2 hours the first night, 1 hour the next night, about the same the 3rd night, she is getting better naps are a little harder but I am not ready for her to not nap so I am very persistent about her taking one.
Here are a few pictures of the process(drew was in charge of picture taking so there are not too many and not the best pics)



Looking and trying to decide which animal to pick (MONKEY)

Pushing the button to stuff the monkey

Putting in the monkey voice

Here goes nothing. In goes the SOOTHIE (can you see it its purple)


Should I get these shoes???


Making the Birth Certificate

The official Certificate. We named her Aussie cause that is what Ella calls the soothie.

And it has the same birthday as me!!

And here she is enjoying the monkey thinking it is pretty neat!!


It was such a good day and a very good bog girl step for her. its crazy she is so old. I just love her so much.

Just some funny Ella

All these Pictures just explain how crazy and funny this little girl is. ENJOY


Giving a kiss face

Mean face

We were babysitting and had this out for the baby. Ella thought she had to sit in it. I figures she only weighs as much as a baby so she could not hurt it

Papa's hat

Crazy morning hair. seriously she has crazy hair all the time

Going for a run with mom

Daddy's goggles (with a raw face from wiping her nose 100 times day)

Out to play in the snow

Not quit sure how she felt about it. She loved when I threw snowballs at drew. But other than that she just held still



She is just nuts. We love her so much, and she is suddenly(about 3 weeks ago) a toddler, she can climb up onto the couch(she must have grown some legs) Reach the door knob but can not turn it, eats with a fork by herself. hangs on the highchair like a monkey, and is talking so much, she can say a ton of words

MERRY MERRY

(WARNING: this is a long one)


We had such a great Christmas this Year. Ella was such a blast she had fun opening her presents(although she did get bored of it after a while). Santa did not wrap his presents at our house he was just nice enough to put them together and put them around the tree. We hope you all had a great Christmas and Will have a Happy New Year! Enjoy all the picture below....





First we went to see all the Lights the pictures are of the christmas village in Ogden. We also went to Temple Square and Fantasy at the bay! Ella just loved the lights my favorite thing is every time she sees lights she says" OOOOOOHHHH" It is so cute.

Ella in her Christmas Jammies just sitting in the presents

After Santa came

Ella opening all her presents She just loved the babies

This is a long story, but I will try to make it short. Drews parents gave us 1/4 cow of beef. I guess Brooke and her Suzi saw this costume at a trunk or treat thing and brooks just loved it so Suzi bought it for Brooke for christmas(in place of the cow they gave her too) for future children. They wanted us to see how funny it was so they put it on Ella. It was pretty cute the big bum of it was so funny

Here are all the kids minus Kylar at my dads with the stuff they got.

The chaos at our house when my mom side of the family were here. It was fun but so crazy

Krew Enjoying the choas-He is the only one I got a good picture of. The rest were a bit out of focus. OOPS

Ella (blurry) in The hat I got. She is nuts

Drew and the Wii game he has been wanting.

And last but not least. Ella great grandma and Granpa Woolley gave her this great Train that a guy in their neighborhood made. It is so cool Ella loves it and wants me to push her around the house all day.

Maybe Next Year

First attempt to see Santa this year in Brigham. No deal. She just screamed and screamed...

A few weeks later we tried again at a Family christmas party. Still No Luck Maybe next year she will like him??

Here is our attempt to get our family with Santa. As you can see it did not go well. Too many people taking photos so we were all looking a different way. Also Ella squirming to get away from him,

This is my cutest Aunt Beth she is the highlight when Santa shows up she gets so excited she is usually in tears. It really brings the magic to the whole party. We just love her

Kamryn telling Santa what she wants She got a pet shop toy from him

And Krew the brave man not one tear from him. He got a toy hammer(not sure what happened to this pic)

I could not post without this pic it is the best. Krew just munching on a pepper. I love it


I some how only got video of Mycah with santa and I cacn not figure out how to load those on here. But she got just what she asked for a Barbie!

Ella got her new favorite thing from Santa a baby. she just loves babies lately. always has one in her hand and loves putting hers to bed before she goes down. What a fun age, I can not wait for christmas morning with her. I think it will be so much fun.

Trick or Treat

Our little 50's Girl.

The Hair up close. It was so funny some people thought it was real
