Its Christmas Time

Its time for the HOLIDAYS!

We are so excited for this Christmas season. It is little Ellsie’s first Christmas. This year has been a wonderful year full of many blessings. I am so grateful for the family that I have been blessed with.

Well Ellsie’s little personality is sure starting to show. She is the gabbing giggling baby. She always decides to giggle when someone is baring their testimony in church or when some one is in the middle of a solo at a concert. She is so full of excitement all the time. It has been such a fun adventure having this little one here and happy:)

Ellsie was asked to be a center piece for the Chamber of Commerce luncheon at the Jubilee of Trees. It was celebrating New Life and the asked 28 moms to bring their new babies. The laid each baby on a pillow in the center of the table. Ellsie was so so good. Haha I had to laugh, it almost looked like she was what we were having for lunch. Anyways, it was so fun and really neat to see all these babies everyone. There was such a sweet spirit about with all these sweet little angels around as they spoke of how precious life is and what a miracle it is when we bring life into this world.

I hope this season is full of joy for everyone. Merry Christmas and have a wonderful holiday season.

OUR NEW BEGINNING!

So it has been FOREVER since my last blog post... and so much has happened.
We finally have our new addition to our family. Little Ellsie Rose was born on July 22. She was 4 days late and has won the honor of being the biggest baby born in my family. 8lbs 9oz and 21 inches long. She is so so fun and we love her so so much.

Fresh out of the oven!

Sweet little ELLSIE ROSE

Family is so wonderful. I am so grateful for them and glad that I am blessed with such an amazing one!

Fun Times!

This week was an exciting one. We went and saw our little tich for the first time. How wonderful it was to see a healthy growing baby. No, we didn't find out what we are having, we are just excited to have a sweet spirit come into our lives.

Today we went to Shayes first real rugby tournament. He didn't even get through the first game with out ripping his shorts done the leg. He was pretty proud of it. It was such a fun time watching him. These boys have got a lot of courage and good sportsmanship. He wanted me to put this picture of him to show off his awesome rugbyness! He tried to look mean, but couldn't help but smile and show off his cute dimples. We love him and are so excited to go to many more rugby games.

just for fun !

WOW, it has been a long long time since I have updated this thing. Life is so wonderful!! Brittan is off on his mission and we are so excited for him! Tiff is having a little boy!!! and today I could find out what I am having... but I am not :) I love the surprise! There has been so much that has happened and so many wonderful memories made. This year is such an exciting one, there is so much life coming into the world, it is amazing. My brother in-law and his wife had their first child last week; a handsome baby Boy! We are so excited for them.
There is much to be thankful for and excited for in life. Although, it may seem, at times, hard to find what all there is that is wonderful. But, it doesn't take long to find it.
Valentines day was yesterday! What a wonderful holiday. Travis and I actually celebrated it on Saturday at the "Sweetheart Swing". Yes!! we went to a dance. We were probably the youngest couple that was there. It was so fun ... I completely forgot to take pictures. But we both enjoyed it so so much. There was a Jazzy swing band and everything. I hope they do more of those kinds of things in St. George through out the year :)
I love spending time with my wonderful family and my amazing husband! There is really nothing more enjoyable and fun!
