Lions and Tigers and Dolphins.... oh my!

For our family day this week we went to the Mirage to check out the dolphin habitat. They also have white tigers, lions, leopards and llamas. They were so awesome to see and so beautiful. I can't believe the lions, they were amazing and very well groomed. Ella of course wouldn't take her nap that day so we had a few meltdowns along the way but over all I think she enjoyed it. We also had Grammy and Gramps along for the ride. We ended the day with the Forum Shops. We went to see the aquarium, which Ella LOVED, and then we went to FAO Schwartz.She had a great time running everywhere but I think her favorite part was going up and down the escalators. Maybe when she is older she will appreciate a three story toy store.

She is so excited about family day... can't you tell:)

The funny things Miss Ella says

Stewart and I were trying to decide what to do with Ella so we were spelling out words. We talked about going to the p-a-r-k! We didn't even think she was paying attention. In the car she says, " I want to go to the p-r-ck and play." I don't even know how she knew what we were spelling. A few letter off but that is pretty good:)

We asked Ella if she wanted to go get ice cream after the park and she said, " I want strawberry ice cream with sprinklers."

We were shopping and I said to Ella, "you are a monkey," and she looked at me and said.... " I not a monkey I a child of God!"

Stewart and I are getting new phones in a few days. Yesterday I said to him, "guess what we get in just a few more days?", and Ella says to me (very excited) "PRESENTS."

The other night I was getting Ella ready for bed. I was brushing Ella's teeth in the bathroom and she was acting really silly so I called her a tool. She says to me, " no, I a hammer:)"

Ella's fav pastime is reading books. My Mom got her a book about the Nativity. We were reading it and she was pointing everyone out. She then pointed to one of the wise men with a white beard and said, "this king Triton." (The little mermaid)
