We’re still missing Dade but know he’s having a ton of fun on his trip with Mom & Gma!
Monday, for Family Home Evening, we met some friends at a local park for a picnic!! Their little one was born the day before Ella!!
Wednesday we went for a fun day at Pump It Up!!
Thursday we went to Harry Potter day at the Library!
Saturday Corben had his great friend Nate over to play!
Sunday
Monday my big helper Dade left for a 2 week trip to Colorado & Utah with my mom. I miss him terribly and am just praying he travels safely!
Tuesday Ryan found a black snake in the yard. We like snakes…well most of them. I’m taking pictures for a book I’m making about our yard and this is perfect!!
Wednesday my sweet Ella fell asleep on her Elmo bed.
Thursday we had to go by Ryan’s work to get something. I figured I’d grab a few shots of him doing what he does all day for posterity sake! He’s a machinist and builds race car engines all day.
We had the boys’ friend, Jaren over for the day and we went to the library to see the Exotic Vets. Don’t you just LOVE Ella’s hair??!!
I just love this girl’s grin! Oh, and guess what…I got a HAIRCUT! FINALLY I found someone who can make my hair look AMAZING!! Thanks, A.!!
Saturday I decided to capture the beauty all around us in our yard! Ryan took Corben to play tennis but they came back after Corben complained of stomach aches.
That night we headed out of town to see some of our family perform in a huge LDS church pageant called The Promised Land. It was FANTASTIC!! I have to admit, I was very embarrassed when Ryan pulled our bench seat out of the van and started hauling it across fields to our seating area. However, I soon realized he’d given his pregnant wife the best seat in the house! Comfy and perfect. Thanks, Honey!!
This is Ella doing her Mama mouth bubbles. She makes these bubbles over and over and says Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma…..
Horse rides before the show…
Rachel helped Ella with her first horse ride!!
Sunday I found out I am getting released from Relief Society after 3 years and being called as the Ward Activities director. I have mixed feelings about being released. Nice to be out of everyone’s business! I got some Visiting Teaching done today while Ryan worked on his talk for next Sunday. We spent some time outside together and went on a walk through the neighborhood. Corben got his 3rd Stomach ache this weekend (one in Sacrament meeting today) though so the walk was cancelled. I hope it’s not his CVS! So then, we decided to go to Shelley Lake but Ella threw up 5 times!!! in the car as we were leaving the neighborhood…it was a lengthy clean up!! YUCK.
AND in the mean time, Dade was…
