Shelby didn't bring bibs for Reed at Thanksgiving so she had to borrow one of Ella's. Those are little pink horses. Kirk did not appreciate it.

These pics were taken in Pendleton on our way to my parents house for Thanksgiving. She started getting fussy so Wayne decided to give her a piece of licorice. She had it all over her self, all the way down to her toes and her car seat is now forever red in a few spots. BUT....she stopped crying until I took her into Wendy's to clean her up. Yeah, we got a few strange looks.

This is the binkie that Wayne spent $14.00 on to get for Ella. The funny part about it is that she doesn't even really like it that much. Funny how thinks work out :))

For Halloween this year Wayne and I took Ella to Salt Lake for a couple family parties, so we dressed her up and went trick or treating. She was a Pea Pod and she looked very cute. Wayne thought it was worthless to actually take her to any houses, so we went and visisted some family to show them her costume. This first picture might disturb some people, but it was pretty funny to us. Wayne has an uncle who is a mortician and he has a coffin that he uses on Halloween. Uncle Blake lies in the coffin with the bowl of candy and when the children reach in he says boo and scares the *&^^&% out of them!! Ella is too young to be scared so we were able to get a good picture. I must admit it is a little morbid to be handing your baby to someone in a coffin. Overall it was a fun Halloween and I am glad that we actually were able to do something fun with Ella.

She was not a big fan of the hood. It cut off most of her face and she did not appreciate the restriction.

We took Ella out 4-wheeling in the mud for the first time. She did pretty well which made Wayne smile. When Wayne backed into the river to "wash" the truck he went a little too far and water spilled into the back seat and covered the floor. He had his cousins with him and they all screamed at the same time, opened the doors and water poured out of the back seat. I was happily sitting in my 4-runner with the heater on and smiling since my feet were still dry. It was really fun and I made Wayne's day by agreeing that I would go as long as I could take my car and do the driving. This next little part is for Mikey. There were two different places that my Toyota made it that a duramax didn't or it took multiple tries, were as I made it up the first time.

That is right...I drove the truck while we were out playing in the mud. It is fun to drive something when I know I won't get stuck. Even if I did I am sure Wayne would enjoy trying to get it un-stuck!!

Just a few fun pictures from our trip to Boise. Ella and I were there for about ten days helping Shelby out with the baby. Mostly we tried to occupy Madison. It was a really fun time and I am so happy that I finally have a nephew!! Hope you like the pictures.

Just some cute pics that I thought you all might enjoy. As you can see Wayne and I both do a good job avoiding the camera! I hope you like the pictures and I will post again soon.

Yeah, she got pretty messy.

We gave Ella rice cereal for the first time and she did pretty well. In the end she had more fun trying to feed herself and suck on the spoon then actually eating the cereal.

I usually think these bows are too big, but I love this one. And I figure I should make her wear them for as long as she will until she pulls them off once their on.

It is getting a little chilly in Rexburg. We had to bust out the winter hat and coat, because it was snowing outside....in October!!

Finally...

Well I have started a blog. My sister has been bugging me to do it for a while now and I have given in. I will try to keep on top of it but I can't make any promises. Since this is my first time posting anything here are some pictures of some fun stuff we did this summer. Enjoy!!

And I thought I would post something that would explain to everyone what Wayne does with all his free time. His big red beast is named Murphy...after Murphy's Law: Everything that can go wrong will go wrong.

I don't think Ella likes the fact that Wayne's new tires are twice her size.

This is Wayne and our dog Wilma. She is a yellow lab and we have had her for two years. She lives at the shop and next to me is Wayne's best friend.
