Mary Poppins

We recently went to see Mary Poppins at the Smith Center with Stew's family. It is so nice to have a preforming arts center not on the strip, away from the casinos. I love that all the broadway shows will be playing at one time or another here. Not to mention ballets and the symphony. It is gorgeous. We also can't wait until November when the children's museum will be right in the same building.

Ella loved the play, although the only bad thing was the technical difficulties they had ten minutes into the play. We had to wait for over an hour for them to fix it. But the play was fabulous.

The great blog catch up

Phew...... I can officially say I am all caught up. Except for our fabulous family reunion to Yellowstone that we just go back from.

Here are a bunch of random pictures of our comings and goings the last little bit. I threw them all in one post so I could be done with trying to play catch up.

Trying to wear these three out at the park

At the end of May we went to Utah for my cousin Steven's wedding.

Luke picked me a flower, gave it to me then took it back and stepped on it.

Can you tell the kids love the park?

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)
