Carly's Birthday

For Carly's birthday she had some friends over and had Stromboli for dinner.  She invited us and Kenna and Navarro to come down, so we did!  We hung out for a while down there and had a campfire after dinner.  It was really fun!  Thanks Car!  Happy Birthday!

24th of July

As some of you may know, Clint and I got engaged on the 24th of July.  He took me on a picnic to our favorite spot at our favorite park and we had lunch and danced and then he proposed to me.  BUT, before he proposed, I was a little cranky.  He will tell you that for sure! :)  Really, all I wanted was to go home and get ice cream sandwiches because it was so hot!  I had no idea what he was planning though!  Once he got down on his knee, trust me, those ice cream sandwiches were far from my brain!

Anyway, we've made it a tradition every year to go on a picnic to the same spot on the 24th of July.  Last year was Ellie's first time going with us, since her birthday is in August, and this year was Levi's first picnic!  It was a blast.  Ellie was a goof ball climbing all over daddy and Levi and I hung out and watched them play.  Then we fed ducks and came home to take naps!  It was a great day.  Thanks, Clint, for asking me to marry you on such a fun day in such a fun way!

What We've Been Up To

So since I am on Maternity leave, Ellie, Levi and I have just been hanging out here at home!  Here are the fun adventures that we have every day!  Really, these are just a few.  We have so many!  But enjoy!

More to come later!

Ellie...An Only Child No Longer

So since we knew when we were going to have Levi, or so we thought ;), we wanted to have one last night with just us and Ellie right before he was born.  So that Friday night we went to Applebee's for dinner and then went to the Children's Museum in Ogden and hung out for a while.  We hadn't been to the museum before, and it was fun downstairs, but then we went upstairs and they had a music room with big drums!  That was so fun!  But it was also closing time so we didn't get to stick around for long.  That just means we'll go back soon!  Ellie enjoyed it though.  Then we came home and I got to put her to bed one last time before I had a baby demanding my attention all the time. 

Ellie is so sweet and really has been the greatest big sister.  We are so lucky to have such a fun loving little girl in our family.  She knew baby brother was coming and wasn't upset or anything.  Since he has been here she has been so nice to him and so willing to help out with whatever we need help with.  I am so glad we got to have one last night celebrating her before he came.  We just love her so much and wanted to show her that we do.
 

 

 

 

These faces are called "Big Face."  Ellie started it a couple of months ago, so now we do it all the time!

 

 

We are so happy to have Ellie, but so excited to expand our family too!  Now you get to see Levi in the next posts!  Yahoo!
