Hospital Visit

We are so very blessed to be able to live close to family and that we were able to visit my mom at the hospital.  She had to have surgery and is doing better every day.  We love you!!!

Ella loves balloons and was so happy to carry them through the hospital to Nana's room

She was given so many beautiful flowers

 Feeding her monkey

One day she saw the show "Dora The Explorer" and later I found her wearing her backpack on her shoulders like Dora

Lately she has loved packing around my purses over her shoulder's and waving to me and saying "bye-bye" 

Christmas Part 2

   Christmas with just the three of us

My sister Melanie and my brother-in-law gave this chair and ottoman to Ella a few weeks ago.  She loves rocking in it and seems to be so proud that she has a chair just her size.  Sometimes I will joke with her and sit in it and she will try to push me out. (:

She loved her Pillow Pet 

I found this huge bear for 10 dollars and Ella was so surprised when I pulled him out of the box

My parents didn't get to see her kitchen all set up so I took a picture for them. (Thanks mom and dad she LOVES it)

We wrapped up this horse I bought from a lady  for 4 dollars and the other day I saw it at Wal-Mart for 35 dollars.  I love a good deal.

Her necklaces and crazy hair

I love this little face she makes and how she can find things like this and make them into being her bracelets

More Projects

My mom had this old KitchenAid that still worked great and she kept telling me I should take it.  I didn't mind the yellow color, but I thought I could make this mixer look brand new so I went and bought some appliance spray paint and it turned out great.

I have had this shelf for some time now and I finally just put it up-

I ordered these canvas pictures of Ella at canvaspeople.com because they were having any size print canvas 75% off. They seem to always be doing some type of deal so everyone should check them out.  It would be nice if I was getting paid for all these advertisements I have been doing lately, but I'm not. (: 

Our New Year's Eve Party

Mason and Jordan Klinger Wedding

Logan's mission companion's brother Mason had his reception on New Year's Eve.  We had such a good time being with so many people.  It was truly a party. One of their cousins had told us that there had been 1000 people invited and I am pretty sure most all of them had come.  Logan actually stood in line to wait while I was chasing Ella around. (:

  Ella and Lillian dancing in the middle of the floor at the Stephens Performing Arts Center



I always love taking pictures of the cake

I loved the tulle

The yummy desserts- Ella was eating cupcakes all night or should I say the frosting (:

 The line started from all the way up the stairs to the front door

Christmas Part 1

It was so much fun this year to see Ella's reaction to everything. We stayed the night at my parents on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning when Ella woke up I brought her upstairs to this Little Tikes car. She was so excited.



My parents got her the cutest kitchen set and some pretend food to go with it



 We got my parents this antique frame that I painted an heirloom white and then I did their wedding picture in a sepia color. I loved how their picture worked so perfectly for this type of frame. 

 My parents got all the girls some p.j. bottoms and tops and they got the guys shirts from, "The Christmas Story."  I got a kick out of the guys shirts.

We are so excited for Summer to come so we can use this-

Thanks mom and dad

Jake and Melissa's Wedding

Logan's younger brother Jake got married in the Logan Temple and it was such a perfect day.  We all love Melissa and we are so excited to have her in the family.

Their luncheon and reception was at the Maddox lodge

 

                       

They had a band playing and we all got to dance- Ella was on the dance floor most of the night. She is a dancer that's for sure.
