President Hinckley

I saw this video on one of my friend's friend's blog and I loved it!! I am going to miss President Hinckley , he is the prophet that has touched my life the most. He was the prophet during my youth and I will always remember him because of his love for the youth of the church. He will be missed here on earth but cannot imagine the reunion and the rejoicing on the other side of the veil.
God Be With You Till We Meet Again

The CAKE

Grandma Arnold made apple pies for the party and Aunt Maggie made the cute little "E" for the top.


Elley's birthday cake


"Is this whole cake for me?"


"I can't believe my mom and dad are watching me do this, I'm having so much fun!!!"

"This tastes so good!"

"Everybody grab a fork and dig in!!"

Birthday party time

Elley's birthday party was a fun excuse for all of the family to get together. Aunt Maggie, Uncle Nathan, and Uncle Craig just happened to be in town that weekend so it was a good time to have a party. We are so lucky to live close to family and enjoy all the times we get to spend together.
Having said that, we love and miss our family we left behind in Washington a ton!!! We wish they would move to Idaho too.
Elley had so much fun opening all her presents. She got lots of bears which she loved. She also got a new Elmo toy, (she not so sure of the Elmo toy yet, Uncle Nathan did an Elmo impression that kind of scared her) a ball, bubbles, fisher price lantern toy, an ABC toy, some new clothes and a toy lawn mower. She sure is a lucky girl!!










Build-A-Bear Workshop

Grandpa and Grandma Arnold wanted to take Elley to Build-A-Bear Workshop
for her birthday. I didn't know how she would do because she was so young but she loved it. She actually pick out the bear she wanted. Grandma and I would both show her bears and she would either push them away or give them loves, it was pretty cute!

Here she is picking out an outfit for her bear


Here she is with Grandpa waiting for her bear to be filled


And here she is trying to be a big kid heading straight for the computers.

Brush my teeth Mommy


Elley has been a late sprouter when it comes to her teeth. She really hasn't had anything to brush. A few weeks ago, right before she turned one, her 4 top teeth showed up. I thought I should get her use to me brushing her teeth. She put up a little fight but for the most part she liked it.
