SLC:2009

We headed up to Salt Lake City with Stewart's family for a quick weekend trip. We escaped the heat for a few days and it was nice. The Harless and the Hooker-Zrebic family can along as well. Ella had fun hanging out with Zacc and Lynzee.

We went to the Oquirrh Moutain Temple open house. It was pretty busy since it was the last weekend for the open house. It was beautiful and Ella sang I am A Child of God pretty much the entire way through. Ella also thought the baptismal font was a spa.... she wanted to swim bad:)

We also went to Hogle Zoo. It was a blast and Ella loved all the animals. It was great since we don't have a "real" zoo here in Vegas. We had a great time spending time with family and Ella loved seeing her cousin Ainsley as well:)

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)
