The Ellis Fam: Our Anniversary

Our Anniversary

So over a month later... here I am blogging about our anniversary! It was awesome! It was the big NUMBER 5 and we had a great excuse to leave town since my cousin Alexis was getting married. My wonderful mother-in-law came up and watched our kids for us and we took off and a 14 hour trek. Oh but before that we went to watch the Suns beat the Lakers in game 4!! (too bad they lost after that) It was an AWESOME game though and we had tons of fun. Jarom spent all this time picking me out a Suns shirt. I wish I had a better pic of it!

Ok so now we start the 14 hour trip... started out happy...

Then Game 5 started on the radio... we listened until it was 6 minutes to go...

The mood got somber pretty quick. We finished the game at Texas Roadhouse in El Paso and had to ignore the Laker fans as we watched stupid Artest get a lucky shot at the end. But we tried not to let it ruin our trip. We hit a late movie at Basset Center and went to my old house to sleep. It was so crazy cause no one was there! That has never happened in my entire life! We were alone! (well with Maggie and Pierre, the pooches). We headed out the next day to finish the trip to San Antonio. The wedding was next:

I love these two! I KNEW they would end up together!

The wedding was so fun. I danced it up with my pregnant belly! We also got to sneak in a visit with Aunt Jojo, Uncle Tristan and little Trista. We never get to see them now since they moved to Del Rio.

It was seeing the whole family, here's gramps and my Reggie

It was also grandma's birthday and my cousins, my mom and I put together this awesome quilt with all the family names on it and their pic in the middle. (Ok so I was more of the consultant and picture editor since I can't sew) But she loved it.

Then it was back on the road- 14 more hours! It was fun being kidless and carefree but boy did we miss those toots! And my ankles were balloons when we got home! I love my hubby and I can't believe its only been 5 years since we've been married! I can't imagine life without him!

Bree said...: I am not even going to comment on all of the Laker hating going on around here. Lucky shot my ***! Anyways, I am glad you guys had such a fun trip! I hope Jarom knows how lucky he is to have a wife that will listen to sports on the radio on a road trip. Watching a game is one thing, but LISTENING to one??? That is incredible. Please don't tell Lance there are wives that will do that! I wish we could have made it down there to see you guys. You look amazing!; July 1, 2010 at 2:00 PM

Milestones and Funny conversations

APRIL11- Lydi says form bed, "mom I'm scared!" I tell her what I always tell her, "everything is ok, just say a prayer and ask Heavenly Father to help you not be afraid" Lydi: thats what daddy said but it doesn't work!" Me: "well you have to believe that it will work and it will, Lydi: "but I don't believe!" This conversation went on for quite some time.
MARCH 11 Today I was laying down and Lydi asked me to put a movie on for her, I said ok. Then she said, "now say- after that will you let me rest?(in her best impression of my voice)" and she really made me say it. Taylor is all about the sniffy face! Everytime she sees me she pulls the cutest piggy face! Taylor is rolling and scooting to get to stuff, I have a feeling crawling is just on the horizon... Lydi ran in all excited to tell me something and she said, "Mom! I just saw a girl on Hannah Montana that looks just like ME!" We pretty much find Jack naked in his bed every night and sometimes in the morning after we have already re-dressed him! FEBRUARY 11 Lydi had a sheet of alphabet stickers. She arranged some on her closet door in a random order. She ran in to get me and said, "mom! I spelled a word!" I went in to look at it and it was just gibberish. She said, "what did I make?" so I sounded out something like "gguyabailitmmy" and then she said, "Oh! I made a Spanish word!" Lydi said a prayer and blessed that she could hold Taylor's hand. Her prayer was answered shortly after. Taylor is eating solids and is a much happier little girl! JANUARY 11 Jack-isms: "Hoo House" (mickey mouse), "You hur me!" Wuh you doee mom?" "mama!! whe ah u?" Lydi-isms: "whatch your doin?" "do you bemember" "I hadn't be seen that movie" Lydi spoke in the microphone at Sharing Time for the first time since I got called to the Presidency- my hearted melted Jackson's hot dog dance- my fave 1/15 Taylor rolled over (in her bed while throwing a massive crying fit) OCTOBER 10 Taylor smiled! At 5 weeks old. I started calling Taylor "Tater Tot" so Lydi started calling her "Tater Tot Tree" (like Apricot tree from popcorn popping) We were talking about how Taylor is chubby and I asked Lydi who is the chubbiest in our family and Jack raised his hand and yelled "ME!" Lydi hit Jack (its usually the other way around) so I told her to give him a hug and say sorry. Before she could Jack went up to her and hugged her and then licked her face in a really dramatic way. Lydi tripped over a bike and fell down. She started giggling to herself and said "I like tripping over bikes" AUGUST 10 Lydi came out of her room wearing a big white fluffy dress-up gown. She said, "mom look at me! I'm in a wedding dress!" I was playing blocks with Jack and I said, "wow! You are beautiful!" Then she says, "Jack look at me!" He looks up and then goes back to playing. Lydi says, "awww you don't care" and then giggled. My favorite things Jacks says, "uh-huh!" (in a high pitched voice), his prayers, (they go higher and higher and higher so by the time he says Christ he is a full on soprano and then he goes low again for "Amen"), "Uhnunu daaaa" (that means I wanna dance) and then we sing "go Jack go Jack, its your birthday!" and he jumps around dancing like crazy. JULY 10 Jack said a prayer last night- I realized how different boys and girls are- he was so fidgety the whole time but he repeated daddy the best he ever has and said all the names really good (all while he was marching, trying to grab toys or bite someone) Lydi sang us a really long song about Jesus the other night and we said, "where did you hear that song?" she said, "I created it!" MARCH 10 Lydi was marching around the couch singing "Follow the Prophet, Follow the Prophet, Follow the Prophet He Knows the Way..." and I said ok Lyd come to bed! She said, "No Mom! I'm following the prophet!" Jackson put together a puzzle! It was one of those where the shape fits right in but I was SO proud of him!! He has never had the attention span to do that! FEBRUARY 10 Lydi said her first original prayer. It was the best prayer ever. JANUARY 10 Lydi was running to the potty (why are all of Lydi's funny remarks around potty time?) and her little pants were down. I said "Lydi I'm going to pinch those little cheeks!" And she turned around confused, "those aren't my cheeks!" Then what are they? I asked. She replied, "those are my little stinkies" Jack made me the happiest mom on earth! Me and Jarom have been worried about him because he doesn't talk as quickly as Lydi did. But the other night I said say night night to daddy! And Jack waved his little hand and said "Night Night!" Just as plain as day! Yay Jack! Today Lydi came out with her panties around her ankles and said, "mom there is no toilet paper!" so I went to get her some and I was laughing at her. Then I said, "Lydi you are so cute, I love you with all my heart". She replied, "I love my heart too mom."
