Little Readers

We have been going to story time at the library every Tuesday. Ellie gets to pick three books each week, since she is three years old. She loves to read and loves reading to Millie. 

And seriously, the new library is soooo nice. I love it.

The children

I really suck at blogging these days. I need to be cooler and do better.

Here are some recent quotes and pictures:

(We were loading into the car and there were two women across the street)
Ellie: "Look at those old womens! They are running away from me."

Me: "I am going to put you in the oven and eat you for dinner."

Ellie: "No, let's eat Millie instead!"

Ellie has been naming every imaginary horse she rides and horse she colors "Polka-Dot-Pie".

Ellie has also been "reading" books. She has been reading the Family Medical Guide and says it's a story about a girl name Mircle-Round.

 This is why you don't leave a three year old alone with a box of Disney Princess bandaids.

 I asked her why she put so many on and she said it was because she got burned in a fire.

Millie's baby blessing

 Miss Amelia Jo was blessed by her Grandpa Goodman. 

Here are a few pictures from the luncheon afterwards at my parents house.

One year anniversary weekend

We spend our one year anniversary weekend in St. George with our little family. Since I am breastfeeding Millie, it's really hard to do anything without the girls, so we made it into a little family trip.

Friday night we drove down to Parawon and stayed with Mika's Aunt and Uncle. Ellie loves going to their house and defiantly loves playing with their dogs.

Saturday morning we got up and drove down to St. George. We went to Mika's cousin's football game. It was a 5th and 6th grader team, so it was a pretty relaxed and not super crazy. Aunt Jackie packed lots of snacks for Ellie. She had cheeto fingers the whole game. Next we went to Aunt Kaisa's soccer game. She plays for Dixie. The game was so hot. I put sunscreen on the girls multiple times. Both of them did really good for being out in the heat for so long. Kaisa's team won the game 1 to 0. After the game, my family, Mika's parents and his sister all went out to eat, just to a little sandwich place.

Saturday night me and Mika went out for a date. We had no clue what was around to do, so we went to a family fun center arcade place. We mini golfed and played arcade games, because we are so cool like that. We ended up staying at the arcade way longer than we planned, so when we were done, all the real restaurants were closed. So we went to the Dairy Queen drive-through and ate in the car.

Mika's not cool and doesn't smile for pictures. 

Photobooth.

This guy kept asking Mika to play another game of basketball against him. They seriously played like 20 games together. I had to take a picture of Mika and his new date.

The adorable kickball we got with our tickets.

Sunday morning Mika & Ellie went to the hotel pool, while I stayed in the room with Millie. Then we drove back home.

It was a fun shot trip and defiantly not your typical one year anniversary vacation, but it was perfect. I am so glad I got to have a little get away with my little family.
