Pioneer Day!

Me and Ella had so much fun! We went to a parade in Spanish Fork with the Robinson's. After the parade we went to a huge carnival. Ella and Avorie loved going on all the ride together, even though Avorie did get pretty scared! It was so sweet, we could hear Ella on the ride telling Avorie that it was going to be ok!

More of Ella Bella

I thought that all of these turned out so great! We just can't wait until she has her little brother here so he can be in pictures with her too!

Ella

Today after church we took some pictures of Ella in her new dress. Last night we put her hair in sponge curlers- she loves having curly hair! Everyone at church kept telling us how cute she is.

Utah County Fair!

Ella was so excited to go to the fair! She loved seeing all of the animals- especially the baby goats and Wilbur the pig! She made Ryan go on every single ride at the carnival! She got kind of afraid when we got to the top of the Ferris wheel! Ryan kept rocking it and making it feel like we were going to fall out. When we got off Ella said "I wish that we hadn't gone on that ride!" But we really had a great time walking around and seeing all of the fun things at the fair!

Beautiful Ella

On Sunday we took Ella out in the backyard to take some fun summer pictures. She's so excited to have a backyard to play in!

Camping!

We had so much fun camping with the Ballard's and Robinson's! We went on a hike, played games and roasted marshmallows! Ella loved playing in the woods with her friends! Even Paige's grandma came to see us! We can't wait to all go camping together again!

More of Boondocks!

Ella loves mini golf! She loved all of the waterfalls too!

Boondocks!

Richmond had their summer party this week at Boondocks! It's a really fun place with go carts, a rock wall and mini golf! Ella was very brave and climbed up the rock wall, Ryan made it all the way to the top and rang the bell! Everyone cheered! We all had a great time!

Ella's super huge slide!

We didn't get any pictures of Ella with her slide on her birthday. This week we got it out again for all of the neighborhood kids and Ella wanted me to take some pictures of her! Ella is a pro! She loves her slide so much!

Our New House

We love our new house. Ethan calls it "our house in the park". Swan Park is right across the street so it feels like we live there! We love eating ice cream on the front porch.

Our house!

It's finally coming together! Richmond finally painted our garage doors! We are so happy, especially since we have been waiting for a year! We also are having our back yard landscaped this week! I thought that I would show you a before picture! We can't wait to have some grass back there for Ella!

4th of July

After we ate we watched "night at the museum" on a huge blow up screen! John and Tiffany brought some fun glow sticks for the girls, then we could always see where they were. The people doing the movie forgot to pause it for the fireworks, so we didn't even know they were going off and we missed seeing them! We were all bummed, but we just went back to our house and played with some pop-it's and sparklers! We had a great 4th!
