Laugh and Love: January 2011

I just remebered

that last year on Ella's birthday was (I think) the first time that we met Emily! We are so glad that she is now in the family! I thought this picture was really cute.

We miss seeing her and all the rest of the family in Idaho!

Oh my goodness!

Ella turns two tomorrow.

In less than 24 hours.

Just ask her she will tell you. That is if she isn't trying to nose dive off the couch on the count of ten.

Yep. Big stuff going on around here.

We're not in Kansas anymore...

Since moving I have been researching things to do with Ella in the area.
The library near us only has a pre-school story time for children 3 and up. When I asked if it would be ok for Ella to go they said, "Well we don't care if she is younger unless she makes noise or moves around." (I guess all of those three year old who go are perfect angels) Then I found out other libraries in town have toddler story time but you have to pre-register for it.
Seriously???
And they only allow 25 children to join in.
In Idaho it was a free for all. Two different days a week and anyone could come. None of this, standing in a line of anxious parents two weeks before story time to register.

For some reason all of this makes me laugh.

What did you eat today?

Ella had hummus. Her absolute favorite food.

Los Angeles Temple Trip

Ever since we moved here Ella keeps asking me where the Temple is. This is probably because we saw the Temple every single day in Rexburg. I thought it would be nice to take her to the LA temple visitors center. She loved it and was thrilled to see the temple! We had a wonderful morning. I highly recommend going, they have exhibits for adults and children. We only spent about an hour and a half there and we still didn't see it all.

Update.

Things we have been up to.
- We spent Christmas in Utah with my family then came to California to hang out with Charles side if the family for the New Year.
- We moved (again, I know this never seems to be a surprise anymore)
- Charles started his internship with PriceWaterhouseCoopers
- Ella moved out of her crib and into a twin bed.
- I am training for a half marathon (with Judy)
- We traveled to Washington to visit Jess, Aaron and family! So fun!

That is the short of the long. Hope it makes ya'll happy. Cause I know it makes me happy. Today has been a great Sunday. Mostly we have been doing this.
