This last week

We went on a sweet hike with Stewart's family in Red Rock. The weather was beautiful and we all had a great time, especially the kids. Ella and Jake insisted on doing most of it themselves. It was pretty cute. Ella would climb on big rocks with Stewart's help and she would just keep saying, "rock climbing."

Adam, Ella and Jake chillin' in a little cave

We went on a run and Ella just wanted to get out and walk herself. I promised her she could pull out her stroller when we got home if she would stay in her stroller for the run. Sure enough she went for it and we walked all around our block. It was really cute. We had a little malfunction when we lost a wheel:) But we were up and running in no time.

We headed out to the oh so fab Town Square mall over the weekend. We walked around, played at the little park and saw Santa Claus. Yes you read that right, Santa Claus. I couldn't believe he was out so early but Ella did great and didn't even cry. Apparently Ella wants a bike for Christmas. When we were in line we asked her what she was going to ask Santa for, she looked right at me and said, " a bike." Who knew:) He is a great Santa, and Ella loved it.

Check out her face in all three pictures. This is pretty much what she does for all pictures now:) Silly girl.

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)
