Oops, Forgot

So, I forgot to ever post what we were for Halloween. I know it was forever ago but I thought I would still post it. So we had this idea while we were actually living in Philly and visiting Amish country in Landaster, PA. We loved visiting Amish country and have some great memories with family and friends while there. So we decided to be an Amish family for Halloween. I bought an Amish dress pattern online and with the help of my mom we made both of our dresses. We love Halloween. It is a great way to start the holiday season. We are so excited for Christmas!

Ellery, Meet Buddha

This picture makes me laugh everytime I look at it. She is a chubby baby but this picture really accentuates her figure quite nicely. They grow up (and out :)) way to fast. I am just soaking up every mintue of my sweet girl. She is such a good baby and is smiling all the time. I love her so much. My cute little buddah baby!

Blessing

This day was so perfect. Ellery did a great job being the star of the day. Bryce did a wonderful job on her blessing and it was so neat having all the preisthood holders in the circle. This was another day where I am so grateful we live by family. It was fun meeting at my moms house after for some great food and being able to visit with so many friends and family. What a special day!!

Newborn Ellery

Meet my beautiful daughter Ellery. I finally learned how to work Bryce's new computer and getting pictures on the blog so I will be able to post more now. Ellery is now three months old. I can't believe how fast time goes by and how much fun being a mom is. We are doing great. We have lots of pictures which will be coming shortly.

One Month Old

I can't believe my little girl is one month old already. Time sure does go faster now that she is out compared to when I was pregnant with her. She is starting to get more rolly polly with some cute cheeks, double chin, and rolls on her thighs. She still smiles a lot while she is sleeping, but is starting to smile more when she is awake. She thinks she is really strong and lifts her head up all the time. I love being a mom and can't imagine life without her. I also love seeing Bryce with her, he is such a cute dad.

Introducing...

She's Here!!

Our sweet little Ellery arrived on Thursday Aug. 5th. She was 6 lbs. 15 oz and 20 in. long. She is beautiful and healthy. It has been quite the crazy week. Ellery has a high Biliruben count (Jaundice) and has had to have the light treatment all week. Therefore I have been tied down to my family room watching her in her little tanning bed to make sure her little eye mask stays in place. She is getting better and we are grateful she was able to stay home during treatment. I will post pictures and give more details about her arrival shortly. Being a mom is the best!
