Awdrspase

A while ago, Ellie learned how to use Paint on the computer. Because Shawn does a lot of graphic artwork, she decided that this would be her job too, so she designs these pictures and thinks she's making money doing it. So, tonight I came home and saw this picture on the computer....I was amazed by how cute it is. It's hard to see from this picture but she wrote a caption and this is what it says:

"Awdrspase is wer we liv in tis phikshr ther are a sun the erth the moon and satrn stars a shootingstar and a rokit ship.

Six already?

I really can't believe how fast 6 years goes by. Ellie has been such a fun little girl, she is so full of energy and life, she has amazing creativity and is such a sweet little girl. We are so lucky to have her in our family. Here are a few things about her at this time in her life:

*She is in Kindergarten at Vista and she loves every minute of it. She loves to learn and is reading at a 2nd grade level. Her favorite part about school is the computers and recess, but she also loves learning about math and is doing really well at that too.

*She is taking Karate two days a week. She's excited to test so she can get her orange belt.

*She just learned how to ride her bike without training wheels. It only took about 10 minutes of me and Shawn running along next to her and then she was on her own. She kept saying "I'm a Master. I'm like a black belt on my bike!!"

*She is a wonderful sister, she loves Ian and Ashtyn and is a great helper.

Happy Birthday!! We Love you Ellie!!

SNOW....

Is something that we don't get a lot of in St. George, so whenever we go visit Shawn's family in Logan it's a treat for the kids. Ellie and Ashtyn got all bundled up and we went sledding.

They had a blast.

Dustin's Wedding

I'm pretty far behind on my blogging, but here we go with the catch-ups.....

My brother Dustin was married on 2/10/2010, kind of a cool date to remember. Aislinn came into our family with four really cute kids and we're so excited. My girls love having more cousins to play with. The number of grandkids doubled from 4 to 8!!
