Cozy Ellie

I know I am posting a lot of Ellie lately, but she is much more cute and entertaining than me!!! This past week has been very cold in Las Vegas. We have had lots of rain too. Ellie wasn't sleeping too well and we decided it was because she was too cold. She is a kicker and won't keep a blanket on at night. I remembered we got these awesome sleeping bag sleepers at her shower up in Utah. I dug them out and she is sleeping much better and just looks so cozy. SEE.



Oh and this picture was also taken at 5 months. Can you believe she is that old already. AND I finally reached my pre pregnancy weight. It only took 5 months. Better than the 9 it took me to gain it! Now to keep losing.

What a Cutie Pie

Ellie stays very active all day. She doesn't stop talking and is rolling from side to side all day long. Apparently she wore herself out and crashed.

Today Ellie is 21 weeks old. One week shy of 5 months. I can't believe how fast time flies when you have a baby. They really do grow so fast. I love how happy she is all the time.

Oh and we can't forget about Macie. Isn't she cute too? She found a warm pile of Ellie's laundry and decided to get comfy. Ellie really thinks the dogs are funny. If she sees them she usually laughs and then sticks her hand out for Molly to lick. Don't worry I clean her hand very well after she has done this.

What a Busy Week

Well it has been a busy week.

Football season is in full swing so Ellie and Roy are sure to not miss a game.

Trying to figure out a whole new curriculum, with new standards for the district and a new way of having to do lesson plans is pretty much making me go CRAZY. I am slowly getting it figured out, but what a lot of extra work some of it is.

This past week I turned 27. Yep one year older. Still feel young, so that is good I guess. Roy was an amazing husband. I will just make a list of ALL the things he did to keep it exciting for me.

• Breakfast in bed with the Beatles birthday song blasting!
  



• Flowers at work and he had them sing and guess how old I was. (the kids thought I was only 16)




• Ice Cream cake




• New sheets for our bed (that I wanted) he washed and dryed them and had the whole bed made when I got home from work.




• He aslo got me an excercise ball since I really don't have time to go to the gym to work out after work.




• Then we went to dinner!!! (Thanks Aubri for the Cheese Cake Factory gift card)

I think my husband should win Husband of the year!


My teenie tiny ice cream cake!!! I am pretty sure it cost more that my plate at dinner! But is sure was yummy!
Happy 27th Birthday Angie!!!
We also had Open house at school last night. I think this should be done before school even starts, not 3 weeks after. Oh well. I had an amazing turn out!!! NOT. I had 5 families come out of 19 students. I believe that is 26%.

Well now the week has come to an end. I have been able to clean my house a little and help out with some laundry. It is much harder to rest because Ellie is very active and wants to be doing stuff all the time. Hmmm I wonder where she got that gene from??? Well better get back to my family! Thanks for reading.

Sleeping In Her Crib

Well we finally got around to putting Ellie in her crib to sleep at night. It seemed we kept postponing it. Not sure if it was because I wouldn't be able to reach over and check on her really easily or if I just didn't want her to grow up. I blame it because we kept going out of town or she would have a stuffy nose, or a sick tummy. Anyway she has done 4 nights and is doing okay. I would love to say she is perfect, but some nights I get up with her more than I want to. I really need to let her start crying it out before running in.

3 Months

Okay so I am a little late on posting this. Ellie is now 3 1/2 months but when I took a last minute trip up to Utah to visit family one last time before I went to work I had my sister in law take some pictures of Ellie. I have to say they turned out ADORABLE.

I know, lots to look at. These are only my Favorites. She is just a cutie!

Ellie weighed 13 lbs 4 oz on her 3 month appointment (she was not supposed to have one but we had to take her in for a pretty nasty goopie eye)

She decided she likes to suck on both her hands at the same time.

She has started turning her head from side to side

And now Roy's back hurts...

So yesterday I got this wild hair up my butt that I wanted to paint Ellie's crib white to match her changing table. Roy was going to go along with it and even help. He told me to go to the store and get all the supplies so when he got home from work he could get started on it. We decided to wait until today since Roy didn't have to work. Roy got up early and went golfing and I got up early too so I could work out, get my other craft projects done before we started another one and clean up the kitchen before he got back. He walked in the door and said "so yeah, we are not painting that crib. My mom said she would give us $50 dollars to go towards a new one since the old one was a drop down anyway." I of course was not going to complain about that. Now I didn't have to sand down the old one and try and make a paint job look good. So long story short we went and found this cute white crib at Burlington. Roy took the other one apart right away and got started putting this one together. He has been having back problems on and off all week and all the crawling around in such a small space, this one together was the cherry on top. BUT I love the crib soooooo much and am very happy with the purchase. Oh and also I can reach Ellie to put her in and out of the crib. Since the other one was a drop down (but you're not supposed to use those anymore) we had the drop side against the wall. So the sides were so tall and with me being so short it was kind of awkward to get her to go to sleep in it. The Old Crib

Oh and I just had to post this picture of Ellie ready to go for a walk to the mail box. We can't go for long walks because for some reason it is too hot. Oh well. Hopefully in the Fall/Winter we will enjoy some nice family walks with Roy and the dogs.

Favorite Thing

Ellie's Favorite thing is to have her diper changed. She could be screaming and then everytime she ends up on her changing table these are the faces I get!!
