Happy Birthday Ellie-Bellie

OUr Little Eliannah HaD a BiRthDay! I cannot believe that she is already a year. Time has flown by. A lot of my friends/family are pregnant and having babies right now and I feel like I was just there. She is almost walking! She took her first step on April 5th, but so far no real walking.

We played some silly games. The theme of the party was little Lavendar Baby Elephants, so the kids had to tie their arms together like a trunk and keep the balloons from hitting the ground! Fun was had by all!

Another game that we played was that they had to blow bubbles...with their nose! LoL. It was so much fun! Even the parents had fun laughing at this one! Whoever blew the most bubbles won. This was def. a fav. We played it the most cause everyone wanted to play!

I made 3 cakes for this shin-dig! Eliannah, of course got her own. Within 2 seconds the nieces stuffed her hands in it. She really liked squishing it, but never took a single nibble of it!

This is what it looked like before. Mike made marinated chicken for all. It was SOOOOOO good! He is the best man on the grill!

Beautiful dresses on beautiful girls!


I loved these dresses as soon as I saw them! They are totally gorgeous in my opinion.



You might not be able to tell but, Sayde's dress is ripped at the bottom. We went straight to church and back and in the short 2 hours that she was in nursery she ripped it in 3 places! I was very dissapointed! I should have thought about that when I was perchasing it. I have a very rambunctious little girl so I should have chosen a more durrable dress. She is still such a beauty!!

Easter...late.

Happy Easter

Ok so Mike's professor gave him thursday night off and he already had good friday off from work so at the very last minute we decided to go to St George for the weekend and celebrate Easter and Moriella's birthday with my sister Simcah. We had a total blast!

On friday we went on a hike to this little waterfall. It was colder than I thought St George should be at this time of year so we were cold!

Sayde and Moriella loved the water. They were in it for a long time. The funny part was the more that Sayde's pants got wet the heavier they were. They kept getting lower and lower. She had a major plummer's crack!

I love the way that this picture turned out. Moriella is in focus and we aren't. This is her daddy, Chris, and her little brother Asher.

Here is our family photo. It was the best of the bunch even though Eliannah isn't looking.

Then we went out to Chinese food at this really great place! I love Chinese! The next morning Mike and Chris went on a bike ride which Mike absolutely loved! They said that it was the perfect weather even though it was about to rain because it would have been too hot otherwise.

Meanwhile, Simcah and I Made deviled eggs and got all 5 kids ready for the easter egg hunt. We were so crazy and frantic that we forgot the coats. Luckily we were able to get in the easter egg hunt before it started to down pour!!

The kids were freezing and so were we, so we drove back to her house to get jackets and we were planning to go back and eat the potluck but....by the time that we got back it was raining so hard that the food was all wet! ha ha. Simcah grabbed us a plate full, but when we got it home to eat it, it was pretty unappetizing! we made breakfast burritos instead.

Later we went to the swimming pool where Mike got to climb the rock wall. It was so fun! I wish that I had taken a picture of that.

We drove home all night so that we could be home for Easter. I hadn't bought the s6tuff for easter baskets but I thought that I could get candy 50% off at the after easter sales and we could do it a couple days late since I was too tierd to get some Saturday night. Well there was no candy on sale! So anyway, Easter was more of a spiritual day. I didn't get pictures of the girls in their dresses yet because they were crabby after church. Maybe next blog! lol
