Time has flown by at our house and work and everything in between. It has been way to long, hard to know where to start. Maybe I should start with the weekend and work back or at least see how far I can get. I have been busy at work, preparing for farm shows and other items and home life is busy too, imagine that. Ella keeps us in high speed all the time. Here are some of the new things she is saying to us
Mom, I want to go shoppin!
Mom, I need a haircut
Mom (or Dad), I want to hold you.
Don't be scared mommy (this was when we were going over a suspension bridge at a park the other weekend- I was scared!)
And she loves to watch the swimming and diving competition during the Olympics. She watches in amazement and applauds when they finish a dive or swim. It is fun to watch her.
This weekend we went to Falls Park and walked around the falls. Following this we headed to downtown and had lunch at 'The Diner" It was very good and Ella enjoyed herself. Following this the three of us walked around downtown and looked at the various scriptures on display. We then went to the Washington Pavilion and hung out in this super cool kids room for Ella to play and do arts and crafts. After all of this we headed home and Ella took a nap, we changed and had Miss Katie over to watch Ella so we could go on a date of movie and dinner. We saw Batman Returns and later had BBQ with friends. It was fun.
Sunday was a movie day, we played hookie from church and hung out in our PJs til noon watching movies. Later Kyle and Ella went to the park and I did some MOPS work and picked up some items at the grocery store. We watched the Olympics that afternoon and even stayed up way past our bedtime to see the men's swimming relay. It was a sweet victory and the French won't be saying too much before any more swim meets anymore.
We are thinking about going to the Blacks Hills for Labor Day weekend, looking forward to seeing the fab four on the side of the mountain. It will be a nice family get-a-way, not Disneyland, but a step in that direction...hehe.
Thanks for reading and sorry it has taken so long to get back on the horse.

Wow, you just made me realize that labor day is coming up. Yeah! I totally forgot about that holiday!
I am so glad that Ella wants to love on you. I just get the "go Mommy, go, go..." when she want her daddy time and she doesn't want me around at all or when she wants me to do something for her like give her a bath. :)
Other than that Ava's favorite words are Mine, stop it, give it and I want... I am living the life of the terrible two's.
Well, I wish I could say it gets better,our wonderful beautiful easy night time routine has gone out the window and now we hate bedtime and spend almost a hour debating with the door to come out, we cry and plea and we just ignore and wish for the easy time back.
Ella is getting a haircut tonight, her hair is growing like crazy!!!
