Ella bella boo turns 2

For Ella's birthday we went to the zoo. The girls loved seeing all the animals, getting their face painted and riding the carousel. After the zoo we headed to the beach for a picnic dinner with John's dad, Cynthia, and Carly. It was such a fun day. Just a few things about Ella right now are; she loves to cuddle, her binki, is talking quite a bit, weighs 23 lbs, wants to do things "myself", ask's to go potty, but never really goes, and wants to do anything her big sister does. She is such a fun happy little stink and we love her!

Our trip home this summer was so much fun. We managed to squeeze a ton of fun into a short amount of time. Little Mermaid was awesome! It was so fun to watch Alice watch the play. She was so into it. She fell asleep towards the end because it was so late. Uncle Ryan was nice enough to carry her to the car for me. Thank you grandma Cindy for such a fun time. The reunion was a blast. It's something I look forward to every year and am always sad when it's over. Both Alice and Ella placed 3rd in the races. We ate tons of water melon, stayed up late dancing and making smore's, enjoyed the play ground and going to sleep and waking up next to our cousins. We spent the 4th with John's family. We went to the park and enjoyed the festivities. Then we went to the sun bowl to watch the fireworks. It was our first time watching from the sun bowl and was so much fun. We had such a fun trip and can't wait until next time!

Things we did this spring

Alice with her princess fishing pole

Went fishing in the lake. Didn't catch anything, but still had fun!

Sporting the sun glasses...rare here in Washington

Went to a Mariners game Went camping with Bo, Melanie, and Ro

We had a good spring with some fun activities. The girls loved fishing even though we haven't had much luck so far. The baseball games are always so much fun. I love the whole atmosphere. Good music, good food, good fun! And camping. I can never get enough. We went to the church property and camped on grass for the very first time. A little different than we're used to. It was so beautiful and so fun. Melanie taught me her way of making smores. Instead of using chocolate, you use a reeses peanut butter cup. Never going back. Sooo good. Many more post to come.

Easter

All ready for church

I tried to take some pictures of my girls and this is what I got =)

We had a good Easter. I am so grateful for the gospel in my life. I'm glad we have these holidays to remind us of what is really important. Plus my kids are stinkin cute!
