Here's a quick video I shot today of Ella riding her new bike. We just got a new point-and-shoot camera, so I was testing it out.
Easter in Utah
(My sweet husband!)
(My funny girl!)
Steve's family flew us out for Easter! We ate, listened to music, watched Ella play with the dog (Belle), and chase the cats. Gabriella kept telling me that Belle is a nice dog and Michael too but Maggie likes to bite (Geri and Lori's dogs). What a great memory she has.
Rachel and Stacey took me to Ikea and now I have some mighty cute fabric to make some pillows and a bunch of other Ikea goodies. Alane and Stacey took me shopping where I found some tops and a cute skirt. For girls night Alane took me to Panda, I had been craving Chinese food! and then to a fun store, Tai Pan, where she got me a yellow purse...Chinese food and a purse = two of my favorite things. I feel very spoiled.
Ella had a blast in Alane's craft room finding all the purdy treasures (buttons and anything sparkly), there were colored eggs and homemade bread. Yeah, I ate A LOT, but it was a holiday after all. Steve and Don went shopping and then Steve and Neil went shopping. Steve almost ran over Apolo Ohno, well not really he just saw him and waved. Don took us to General Conference and Alane made an Easter feast.
We are truly thankful for the blessings of family. Our year so far hasn't been easy and we are so grateful for the outpouring of love our families have given us. Thank you!
(Ella doesn't like to perform on command but after about 10 takes, I think we got some cute photos)
(She also likes to wrestle Grandpa)
Last night before bed Ella started reciting a scripture, it took me a minute to figure out what she was saying until I heard, "by the mouth of his holy prophets," then I immediately knew. She had to give this scripture in Primary and we had been going over it with her but that was over a month ago and we haven't really talked about it since.
Luke 1:70 "As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began."
