Ellis Family Reunion

We spent a week in Idaho with Quinn's family. 

We had tons of fun with things from feeding the roosters to going down the slide. 

Thanks so much Ron and Lynne, for letting us come and destroy your house for a week!

Such a sweet innocent look, 

for someone who is so spoiled.

All of the Ron and Lynne's grandkids! Holy Cow!

I know what Kelsey is getting for Christmas! She jumped on that trampoline

all day long. Good naps and even better nights, oh thank Heaven.

Quinn's favorite part of the drive, there and back. 

Although he wasn't going 80, 

he was going more like 85.

Which I sure hope they don't raise the speed limit, everyone already drives WAY too fast.

4th of July

We decided to go down to Havasu and spend sometime with my parents and my sister, who came also. 

This is baby Alex, my sister Emily's baby. He is a massive 6 month old, weighing in a whopping 20 lbs. 

He is almost as big as Kelsey!! 

He is so cute!

Grandma made this SUPER yummy cake, Kelsey really enjoyed it.

My parents ward put on  this great July 4th breakfast, they had a parade. 

(Organized by a great Activities Head, my Mom)

This is Kelsey and Grandma decorating the hats that kids all wore.

Very serious work.

We went out on the boat, she loved it so much. 

Quinn had fun on the wakeboard, he did pretty well for not doing it for 2 years.

He did the airchair as well, He got up a few times, 

and did tons better than me, that's for sure!

This is my awesome Dad! Look at him go!! 

We had such a great time and we are paying for it today. 

We are SO sore.

I think laundry might have to wait another day... 

I realize there is no pictures of me posted, but I did bumper tub and attempt the airchair.

Although all the evidence is videos. 

What we do

It's summer, and it's hot. Therefore, we can't go outside as often as I want, so we are stuck inside, and boy is Kelsey driving me crazy!! So I have started to do things so keep her little hands working. 

All the time.

We built a tower.

and played with sand.

I need some other ideas, help?

humm

What are these...?

Hum...

Nice stretchy band....

Pictures of Minnie Mouse...

Yep, that's what they are for.

Mission accomplished.

Snow Canyon State Park

So we went up to Snow Canyon State Park this weekend with my sister, Jasmene and her family and our friend Sarah and her family. We had so much fun playing in the sand dunes and going on little hikes.

Kelsey posing for a picture

Quinn and Kelsey on the way to the dunes. The weather was SO nice. It was 70 with cloud cover. Kelsey got goosebumps! What made it even better is that, it had rained the day before so everything was very compacted so no dust!!

This is Ethan, Sarah's youngest.

I told her to smile, this is what she gave me.

Burying the children.

The sand was cool. So she fell asleep, no not really.

So pretty.

I had fun climbing, I didn't get very high, but it was still fun!

Lemon Juice

Many of you might see this simple phrase and cringe.... But I laugh because this...


Not only did I get her to drink it once, I got her to drink it a second time! Go me!

Relay Races

At Virgin Valley Elementary School, VVES, the have relay races, to see who has the fastest class in each grade. Kelsey thought it was pretty awesome. I think Mesquite shut down for a few hours to watch these.....

Random video

I found this video of Kelsey dancing, and I thought it was rather entertaining. I realize her diaper is a little saggy and full. I am AWARE! :) Enjoy.

Easter

We looked for eggs.....








Some might have missed just a little

Dayna, Ben, and Davis got chairs for Easter, Jaymie and Kelsey enjoyed them more.



The coolest Easter present ever. Although you do get rather dizzy. This is spoken from experience.



Friend Sadie enjoying the giant inflatable ball.



Did I mention that Ben got attacked by a cactus, in his bum. tee hee hee

A Huge Ham

Our daughter is a huge ham.

What is going on here....

My computer is being weird and I can't see any of the pictures, I have put up here, so I will try and put and explanation up for the pictures....









I love Kelsey's face!


This is Jaymie my niece, when I was watching my sisters kids, I let Kelsey and Jaymie run around outside and they had so much fun in the sun.



A fun video of Kelsey, she has discovered that she loves sugar snap peas, but who doesn't?
