Happy Easter!

The Saturday before Easter we took Ellie down to the Easter Egg Hunt at West Point City Park.  Ellie only got a few eggs, but she had so much fun putting them in her basket!

 Ellie LOVES puppies, and while we were there we saw one so she HAD to pet it.  But not just pet it, she had to go sit by it too.  She kept saying "cute, cute" and "puppy!"  She was so happy.  It was the highlight of the Easter Egg Hunt!

Then after the Easter Egg Hunt Clint went to the office so Ellie and I went down and colored eggs with Carolyn and Carly

Then came Easter Sunday!  Ellie woke up to a Bunny Poop trail left by the Easter Bunny and she LOVED it!  She couldn't get the poop (candy) in her mouth fast enough!

Then for dinner we went to Grandma Child's house and had an Easter Egg Hunt after we ate.  Ellie once again had a blast putting goodies in her basket!

Mitch was laying on the ground so Ellie decided she wanted to lay by him!  She's so funny.  We do have better pictures of us as a family, but Gary took them on his camera, so once we get pictures from him we'll post them too.  Ellie's little Easter dress was the cutest thing ever.  It was light yellow with embroidered little white flowers all over and a white jacket.  We did take her bonnet but she didn't want to wear it.  But it was a fun Easter! 

Zions Bank Bowl-A-Thon

Clear back in March, it feels like forever ago, we went to Fat Cats for the Annual Zions Bank Bowl-A-Thon.  We had a blast last year so we decided to go again and it was tons of fun!  It was Ellie's first time getting to actually bowl and she LOVED it!  And while we were there we won two $50 gift cards to Target and four passes to Boondocks!  What a fun way to spend a Saturday!

Disney On Ice

Back in February we were at Clint's parents house and Carolyn said "You know in the past we've gone to Disneyland over spring break, and spring break is coming up!"  So we thought they were saying they wanted to go to Disneyland.  Then Gary said "We just thought we needed a Disney fix, so how about we all go to Disney on Ice!"  We were stoked because the theme this year was "Dare to Dream" with Rapunzel, and as you might know, Ellie LOVES Rapunzel.  She's wasn't always a fan of Flinn Ryder, but she loves Rapunzel so much.  So at the end of spring break we went to Disney on Ice.

Carolyn called me that day and told me that she had bought Ellie a Rapunzel dress to wear that night, and of course we let Ellie take her Rapunzel doll.  While we were there we found a little stuffed Paskell, so now she has all of the friends!  And ever since that night she LOVES Flinn Ryder as well!  She has been a little obsessed with Tangled since that night.  Thanks Gary and Carolyn for the fun fun night!

Discovery Gateway Children's Museum

Clint had spring break at the beginning of March, so instead of going to school he worked extra hours to try and earn a little extra money.  On Friday we decided we needed to do something fun to make up for all of the working.  Clint got off early and came home to pick Ellie and I up and we headed to Salt Lake.  We ate at Z'Tejas first and then went over to the Children's Museum.  Ellie absolutely LOVED it!  Especially since she got to play with other kids.  That is definitely a place we will go to again!

The Stork Brings Another

Well we found out what we're having on March 1st, and the verdict is...

Clint could believe it, but I was in a little bit of shock at first.  I had convinced myself that we were going to have another girl just because we wanted to have a boy sometime and I was worried that we never would.  But sure enough, it's a boy!  We can't wait to meet our new little guy, and we know Ellie is just going to LOVE him.  She needs a little friend so bad!

18 Months!

Well, Ellie turned 18 months at the end of February.  Don't worry, I'm just behind!  We took her to the doctor and she is doing great!  She is 35 in. tall, which is in the 120th percentile!  And she weighs 25 lbs 6 oz, which is about the 75th percentile.  So she is doing really well!  Just growing up so stinkin fast it's not even funny.  But we love her and she's a hoot!

And yet she still has that stinkin binky! :)
