Ella's Birthday

So this last week Ella turned to 3 and she keeps telling us for Christmas that she wants to be 4. Here are a few pictures of Ella on her birthday and at her Birthday party on Saturday.

So Thankful

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had 2 actually and the food was so yummy. Ella was so cute. Tonight we decorated our little tree that Ella had picked out last week with all of the ornaments. I am so tired tonight since I was up shopping with my mom at 3:30am. It has been such a wonderful couple of days with my family. I am so thankful for my family and this baby that I am carrying. We are all really excited.

Feeling Better

I am finally starting to feel better. I hate this morning noon and night sickness stuff. It is all worth it in the end though when you hold that little baby in your arms. I always get big so fast. I can tell that this baby is really growing. I get to go have another ultrasound on the 24th to see just how much.

PICTURES

So we did not do a whole lot this weekend. I did however get Ella's 3 year pictures done a month early I know but what the heck. It was quite a time but, they turned out absolutely wonderful I have attached one and will post the rest when her birthday finally arrives. In a month.... Anyway we did get the Christmas pictures too. so stay tuned and you can see those too. I should be posting more pictures because I have the most wonderful husband ever who got me a new camera.... I am so excited. Anyway I am super tired and have got to get some sleep as the rest of my house is. will post more tomorrow..

Baby Update

Went to the Dr today and they gave us a Due date of June 29th. Since I have always delivered at 36 weeks and 2 days we will have a baby in the beginning of June. We are sooooooo excited. Ella does not really understand yet but she is excited too.

BIRTHDAY BOY

So today is Cameron's 8th Birthday. He is so big. I miss him and Mitchell so much. I know that they are both doing well so it makes me feel good about that. I pray that He has a great day as Mitchell did on the October 23rd for his birthday. I hope that they know I think about them every day and we all love them so much. Ella has made them both some very cute things I just need to send them. I have not mailed them any presents yet but hope that we can afford to soon. I know that they will all understand. We love you all so much. Have a great day!!

Beautiful November Day

We went to our friends house today to watch the Broncos game. Ella had so much fin in there backyard. It was such a warm fall day I can not believe that it is November.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

We had a great Halloween. We went Trick r Treating around my aunts house and had great dinner. Ella got so much candy that she could hardly hold her bucket.

Ella and Her Daddy

Here is my little princess and her daddy.

Trunk R Treat

Tonight was our ward Halloween party and Trunk R Treat. We has a great time. Look at my little Snow White.

FAMILY ADDITIONS

So we are expecting again. I will be going to the doctor next week. We are very excited, All Ella can talk about is having a baby brother. We will see since I have a while before we can find out. I am only working one job now since I have a baby to grow. Things are going very well. Ella is soooo much better too. We have been doing a lot together.

Pumpkin Patch

So I took Ella to pick out her own pumpkins after work yesterday and she loved it. It was such a fun experience for her.

Busy

We have been so busy lately. I got a new job and m working a night job as well. I have absolutly no time to do much at all. With her all of this crazyness Ella is so confused. She has cut her hair and last week swollowed a penny. I keep thinking that at least she keeps us on our toes and ouur life is not boreing by any means.

Fun at Home

So we have not been doing a whole lot on the weekends but we have fun with what we do. As you can see Ella loves to help putting away laundry, but mostly since she can play in the hamper when it is all out. Also the mice are huge hit in our house way better than the hamster. The hamster is still loved and is part of our family but doesn't get as much attention.

The Sterett ZOO

So as you know we got a hamster (hampsuss as Ella calls it). After a week the cats knocked over the cage and broke it. So we had a missing hamster, we figured the cats had eaten her and Ella was just devistated so we went and got a couple of mice to replace her. that night as Rob was cooking dinner he looked over at the cats and there was the hamster drinking water out of the cats bowl with the cat. They are pals now.. So now we have a hamster and 2 mice. We are becoming a zoo. Hahaha. Ella is very happy about her pets and talks to them every day.

Activitys with Mommy

So I have decided to do craft and activity things with Ella once a week this was our activity last week. We painted. She just loved it. We also made snakes the week before. I don't have a picture of that but it was a lot of fun. Things are getting better with us. Ella is doing very well and learning so much she surprises me everyday.

Addition to the Family

Ella got her first hamster. She has named it Strawberry Shortcake. For anyone who does not know she is obsessed with Strawberry Shortcake. And not just a little a LOT. We have to have everything Strawberry Shortcake these days. Ella even said that she wants a Strawberry Shortcake Birthday party in December. Haha

Ella

Family

We were able to spend some time with my family this last weekend and it was so wonderful. We have been doing a lot of home decorating these last few weeks. Thanks to my wonderful husband. It look great. After only a year we finally got curtains and a new rug. It feels like a new house. I am so happy and feel that things are finally starting to come together for us. I am so grateful for my husband and my kids. I realized that no matter where they are I love them just the same. We love you all.

Summer Ending

So i will get better at posting things a bit more often. This has been a really fast summer i just cant believe it. Ella is a little girl now and I just cant get over it and wonder where my baby went.

SUMMER

So it has been awhile since I have writen. Things here are going pretty well. i was able to go to Minnesota again the beginning of June. Emily Rose graduated from High School and had a great little party. The boys and Ella had a great time with all the kids. Other than the giant birds or I guess they are misquitos. I will post more pictures soon. We love you all.

Life in our House

Well not a whole lot going on. The weather is getting nicer finaly and we are able to go to the park. Ella is very happy about that becayse she LOVES the part. i guess what kid does'nt.. Work is getting busy for me as the weather gets nicer but it sure makes the days go by faster. Anyway hope all is well with all our friends and family. We love you all.

Ella Swimming

Yesterday Ella had her first swimming lesson. She loves the water and it is a great thing for us to do together. We will be going 2 times a week for about the next 3 months. The weather has been getting warmer here with the little bouts of snow but hope that spring/summer is around the corner.
