SUMMER DAYS

We went to The Gateway a few wks ago w/our friends from Geargia (Elizabeth & her darling boys & Leah). We went to the Discovery center that is a children's museum & then went over to the water fountain park where the kids played in the water. Ella had so much fun playing that she didn't want to leave & then passed out in the car as soon as we left... it wore her out! We had so much fun & hopefully we will get a chance to go back before fall weather hits!

DOUBLE TROUBLE

Ella & Livi have started taking baths together, but the cute thing is that they aren't in 1 tub, but rather 1 sink w/2 sides! They both love it & have so much fun playing w/each other. Ella still fits in the big deep side of the sink & Livi fits perfectly in the small side... best of both worlds!

New Baby

My sister Jen had a little baby girl today! Claire Marie Diamond is finally here. She weighs 7 lbs. 8 oz. & is 19 1/2 in. long. She is just as cute as can be & we are all so in love with her already!

PRESCHOOL

Ella started her first day of preschool today at Small Wonders Preschool! She was sooo excited to go & didn't even look back when she walked away... she didn't miss me either! We are very excited for her to be learning & growing everyday, but are also sad that our baby is growing up!

Our little livi is growing up way too fast. Her crib is in our rm & when she wakes up, she peeks over the rail & stares @us until we look @her. It is so pitiful that we just have to get her out & love her before we put her back again! Here is a cute picture of her chubby lil hand as she fell asleep in the middle of her peek a boo act! We just love her so much... she adds so much joy to our little family!

Thanks Grandpa

Grandpa or as Ella says... PA, gave Ella finger paints for Jeremiah's b-day. Big Mistake! I thought that she was doing really well w/them until I found her EATING them. Needless to say... we have hidden the paints until she can be trusted again.

4th of July

Ella was in the Sandy City 4th of July parade for dance this year. She absolutley loved it! She was originally supposed to ride in the back of the truck, but she ended up walking & dancing the whole time w/the older dancers.
