Thank You
Yesterday I handed Ella something and she actually said, “Thank you.” It wasn’t a perfect Thank you, but you could tell that’s what she was saying.
Man, she sure is growing up fast!
My Church Girl
My Ella is such a little smarty. On Sunday I got Ella dressed in her tights and her pretty little dress. I was already dressed in my church outfit and ran upstairs for something. I could hear her whining downstairs and when I went down what I saw melted my heart. She was wandering, looking for me, holding her church shoes. I didn’t have them out, so she went to the shoe area and found them and was sad thinking I left without her. She had a big smile on her face as I put her pretty, little shoes on her feet.
It amazed me that she put 2 and 2 together that those were the shoes that she was going to wear. It’s like she knew it was Sunday…. she knew she was going to church.
DON’T!
Ella’s new thing ~ haven’t caught it on video yet, but I will and when I do I’ll upload it. She points at you and says, “DON’T!”
I find it cute right now. I know it’s only because she’s 14 months old, and when she does this when she’s older I won’t find it too cute, but for now I find it very cute!
Today we were at a play date at the mall and this little stinker kept leaving the mall play area. There was a man that was sitting by the exit, and she’d walk over there, look at the man, yell don’t at him, and then take off into the mall. She’d walk w/her head down and slyly look behind her to see if I had caught her yet. She’s such a handful and so cute at the same time.
Icky Flu!
Last night we went to bed only to jump out of it 5 minutes later. Ella had thrown up all over. It was horrible. My poor baby girl has the flu and spent all night throwing up. She seems to be feeling better now ~ she hasn’t thrown up in 6 hours!!! I’m exhausted and can’t wait to go to bed tonight.
I was worried about her heart all night, but nothing bad ever happened with it.
Now I just pray that it doesn’t pass on to every single member of our family.
Missionaries – giving a shot out to their families :)
The missionaries that gave Gino his discussions were awesome. We really enjoyed them and had many laughs. Of course, the last laugh was on them! Elder Goldhardt is a HUGE Jazz fan ~ I’m hoping all of his friends and family are seeing this…. he’s actually wearing a Kings jersey! GO KINGS!!!
I’m thankful that we had the opportunity to get to know them. The made the discussions fun and I learned so much from them. AND! They got Gino to dunked 🙂
Carving Pumpkins
We had fun! Notice the Happy Birthday tablecloth ~ it’s my friends birthday today, and she was up visiting so we had a Happy Birthday pumpkin carving party. Jayden drew his pumpkin’s face. He’s pretty proud of it.
It was Family Home Evening and everyone jumped right into the carving pumpkins before I could give my lesson. So, while everyone was carving I was talking about prayer and asking Jayden questions about prayer ~ Jenise probably thinks we’re a bunch of religious psychos LOL. It’s so important to have that 1 day a week that you’re together as a family. It’s what builds strong families, and I owe it to my family to ensure that it’s done every week…. even if it’s a quickie 🙂
These are the moments that I’m so scared to lose. I don’t want them to grow up and not get excited about sitting around the table together to carve pumpkins. I truly treasure every single moment with these kids. Even the screaming fits I get out of them. Their personalities just shine through them and I love it! I love how they are their own individuals and I hope they stay that way. I don’t want them to change themselves for ANYBODY!

Pumpkin Patch
Can’t believe it’s already that time of year! We took the kids to the pumpkin patch yesterday and took lots and lots of REALLY cute pictures. Ella loved it out there. She cried when we left. I think she enjoyed just wandering out in the beautiful country. Since we went on a weekday we weren’t able to do all the fun stuff (pony rides, tractor rides, corn maze…) so, we’ll have to go back this weekend. My friend Jenise was up visiting from Sacramento and she came along with us and picked out a pumpkin to carve too! Hope you enjoy the pictures and video!! BTW ~ I bought the video camera I was raving about a couple days ago, so expect many videos of the kids! Here’s one I took at the pumpkin patch ~ I have some of carving the pumpkins too, but that’ll be in the carving pumpkin post 🙂
