Mr. and Mrs. Ellett

Abbie and Brax got married!! I have been waiting for pictures so that I can do my post and here are just a few. The real pictures are coming soon! It was a lot of work to put it all together, but it turned out so good!!! I am so proud of my mom for creating the whole thing. It took us one trailer, countless cans of spray paint, four trips to target, and three days to get it all done, but we did it! Abbie looked beautiful and Braxtin looked so handsome. Love you guys!!!

family reunion/hamilton's birthday party 2011

We always do a big trip to Salt Lake the first week in August because we have the Evan's family reunion at cherry hill and Hamilton's birthday. This year we took Viv to the zoo for the very first time, she loved the monkeys and the wolf because it looks just like a doggie. Grandma Veon had a birthday party for Viv and it was so fun! She got a lot of cute things and got frosting wasted!!! On Saturday we went to hammie's birthday and Viv had a blast playing in the water with the boys! Ashley is an amazing party planner and she made the cutest Bubble Guppies cake for him!!On Sunday we headed to cherry hill for the reunion. Nick's family has a bean bag game that they always play and at the family reunion they have a big tournament every year. Vivie got to play for the first time and she thought she was very cool!The next day we played in the water at cherry hill. Viv loved pirate's cove and the lazy river. She had fun playing with her little cousins Brooklyn and Kenzie!

Vivie is One

Vivie had her one year old doctor's appointment and she weighs 19.36 lbs.! Quite the change from her 4lbs 9oz last year!!!She has made great progress! She is crawling everywhere, when she crawls she uses her feet instead of her knees, it is really cute. She says lots of words: hi, uh oh, mama, dada, guhguh, thank you, cracker, tada, doggie, what's that?, and mimics almost everything you say. She pulls up and walks along things very well and she can stand on her own until she realizes that she is. She loves sharing carrot cake with her guhguh and riding in her cozy coupe. She continues to be obsessed with dogs! She loves to go to the tv and bang on it (especially when you tell her no). She loves bath time more and more. All in all she is a big girl!

Deep in the Hundred Acre Wood... Vivie had a birthday!

I knew this day would come, just not this quickly! My little Viv is 1! I decided to throw her a Winnie the Pooh themed party and it was so fun! We swam because that is Vivie's favorite thing to do and I got her lots and lots of balloons because she absolutley loves them!! All in all it was a success!!

The Boys

This week we have been fortunate to spend a lot of time with Ashley and the boys. We went to Thanksgiving Point and Vivie got to ride the pony for the first time. I thought she would be apprehensive, but she loved it!! Although it was freezing, so we didn't get much time at the farm. Then we headed south to our house where it was baking hot and they spent tons of time in the pool, which was also super fun!! It is so cute to watch them interact! The boys love her and she loves them back!!! Bentley is so good with her, he always watches out for her. He asks me if she can have a toy and proceeds to tell me that it is clean before he gives it to her (do you think all the adults around him are germaphobes or what?). They all just sit and laugh at eachother and Viv thinks she is super big just like them!! I can't leave Mollie out of this post because she got a brand new 'do this week!! I no longer own a bear... I own a lion!!

10 months

I know I say this everytime, but I can't believe she is 10 months!! Vivie has really grown up a lot over this past month! She crawls like a pro, you can barely keep up with her!! This last week she has learned to say "hi" very clearly and she waves while she does it (so cute) and mimics almost everything you say too. She loves eating anything her papa makes her and loves sitting with him while she eats. She is growing so fast!!

9 months!

Vivie is nine months and I just can't believe it! She has gotten so big! She has had her first taste of diet coke (the point of no return), she loves to drink from cups or water bottles!! She still loves swinging and playing outside. She isn't crawling but she is getting close. She refuses to eat any baby food, so she eats a lot of cheerios and vanilla wafers. She sleeps with us almost every night and takes up more space than Nick and I combined. There is nothing like a good snuggle!!
