Memorial Weekend.... and a few other things!

We had so many family pictures I wanted to print and didn't want to buy frames for so here is our solution. We mounted them with foam board to give them some dimension.

This picture has nothing to do with Memorial Day either but it is funny. Ella looks at me and says, " take my picture with my best friend Dora." Funny girl:)

We went to the cabin for Memorial Day weekend and had a great, relaxing time! It was filled with hiking, yummy food, cousins playing, swinging (learning how to share the swing with everyone), and some just good old relaxing.

Doesn't it look like our kids are going to fall off this huge cliff.... we are good parents we swear:)

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)
