Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We were supposed to go to St. George and spend it with Zach's family, but he had to work. So we spent it with my parents, aunt, and cousins. We missed the Randalls and wished we could have been down there with them, but hopefully we will see them soon. We love you guys and missed you!

Then on Friday I woke up at 3:30 so I could go hit the stores with all of the other crazy people. I looked at the ads on Thursday and saw some really good deals. So I thought if I can save money to get more stuff that we need then why not go. It was actually pretty fun, and I didn't get too tired. Ellabug even came with me, (since Zach had to work) but she was such a good girl. She did get tired towards the end, but eventually fell asleep. It was funny to watch the people at Target when the doors opened. Everyone was running and pushing, I just walked found what I wanted and left. It was crazy though, and I think I might do it again next year. So if anyone wants to join me they are more then welcome!

Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving and Halloween. I know it is a little late for Halloween, but I couldn't get them to upload so I finally can now.

TWILIGHT

Okay so I finally joined all of the other Twilight lovers. Better late then never! My friend from work let me borrow the book on Tuesday and I finished reading it on Friday. I couldn't put it down and I can't wait to read the next book. All the girls from my work are going to the movie on Tuesday and I can hardly wait. I wanted to go see it this weekend, but it was all sold out. If you haven't read the book you really should it is so good! Can you tell I am excited! Don't worry I am not obsessed and won't show up to the movie dressed like the characters like a lot of people did. I just haven't read a good book in a long time, and can't wait to read the other books to find out what hapens!!!

Forever...

Once again it has been forever since I have posted. Not much has been going on. Zach has started his FTO and loves it. He had to get pepper sprayed and get shot with the taser. He recorded the tasing and it was pretty funny seeing all the big guys scream. Ella has been busy as ever. She figured out how to climb on the coffee table and loves to dance to Dora. She is into everything even more, and is in total control. She loves bananas, dancing, dora, babies, mommy, daddy, and Mowglie. She is talking more and more everyday. Still a lot of jibberish but she can say dog and kitty now. So now all the words she says are mama, dada, dora, uh-oh, ball, bah bah, dog, kitty, no, two, ya, hi, grandma, grandpa. She even tries to sing a little song that we sing to her it is cute. When she sings the high notes she raises her eyebrows. I am still busy being a mom and working three days a week. I am loving every minute that I get to be home with Ella and feel so blessed to stay home with her more. I think she is enjoying being home more too.

I was going to show some pictures from Halloween, but I can't get them to load so I will try again tomorrow.
