This is Ella's first time eating Oatmeal.



Tonight we were giving her a bath and she had slid down to the deeper end and she got very still. Which usually means that she is done - sometimes she starts to get a bit cranky. then all of a sudden she starts splashing crazy. She actually got Sara wet. I ran out of the bathroom for the camera to record it and we were not disappointed.

Snow Pack'N Dogs

Three hours ago, this was live. Levi, the dogs (Oakley & Dori) and I went camping up Millcreek canyon. We cross-country ski'd in then snowshoe'd to get to our destination. And the lucky doodles got to sleep inside the tent with the big dogs. Loads of fun.

And here we are on our way down the mountain. When Sara saw this video she smiled so big. She said, "Ah, they look so happy. I love seeing them run side-by-side."


So, pull up a chair, put on a smile, and watch the dogs play.

It is so hard to decide which pictures to put on the blog. This one took place just before dinner. I don't really know what it is that gets into me to do strange little fun photos of Ella, but they are fun photos. I think its my mom. She does fun photos from time to time.

So, I hope you enjoy the next one too.








So, in this picture we were getting ready for church... notice the good looking guy in a great sweater from my dad. Again, I some how got a strange yet fun idea as I walked by some bags. Here I am playing messenger - however, my little helper has dropped the delivery. So, we might not get paid for this service.

"Mom, you're embarrassing me. I know that I am cute and dorable but you are kissing it out of me."

So, in this you can also see why Ella has gotten the nickname... SQUISHY

Somehow I think that Ella knows that she is cute.

Let's see. One more picture.






Sara, loving to kiss Ella herself, decided that everyone should share in the opportunity to share the love. So, here is Fa-Dori eagerly taking that given opportunity to give Ella a kiss. As you can see Ella is willing to give kisses right back to whom-ever is giving. Gotta love bonding.
