Halloween 2010

Of course Dyson wanted to be a football player. He is

becoming more of a Boise State fan, but he does say

he still likes Utah a little better.

Savannah loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and so she decided

to be Minnie Mouse this year.

Daxton was a Lion this year, but every time someone asked him what he

was he would say a tiger. I corrected him several times, but

he still thinks he was a tiger. Crazy kid!

Ella just had to be the bear this year. All of our kids have been

the bear for their first Halloween.

Ella's baby blessing

We blessed Ella when we were down in Utah the end of August.

Ed gave her a beautiful blessing. We are so grateful

to have her in our home. We love you Ella bug!

Kylan and Dana's Wedding

My brother Kylan just got married the end of August. Unfortunately I didn't get a

picture of him, but I got one of the bride. The picture above is of me and all my

awesome sisters and sister in-laws. It was so fun being there with all of my family.

They had their reception in my parents backyard. They worked hard all summer to get

ready for it and it looked awesome. We wish you the best Kylan and Dana!

During the reception Dyson was catching grasshoppers

in the field with his cousins.

Doesn't Savannah look excited to be there!?!

This is what Daxton did the entire reception-ate candy, drank juice, and played in the dirt.

By the end of the night he was a mess, too bad I didn't get a picture of that.

Ella's one month pics

A few weeks after I had baby Ella, Ed's parents, sister Brooke, and

brother Travis and his wife Katie and their kids came to visit.

It was a lot of fun! We had fun swimming, playing at the park, going to the movie,

Savannah got her ears pierced, and just hanging out. Thanks guys for making the

long trip to come and visit we all had a blast.

The next week my sister Kim and her kids came to visit. It was so nice

having my sister around, and of course the kids had so much fun playing

with their cousins. They spent a lot of time playing outside with a frog they

caught in our backyard. We also took them swimming, to the park,

we made and decorated sugar cookies, went to Wahooz ect... Best

of all I took a nap almost every day. Kim is the best! She watched the

kids and let me take a nap, she cleaned our entire house before she left,

and Ed and I even went on a date. Sisters are the best!!! Thanks Kim.

Pictures of our little Ella Bug

Ella Victoria Lish

Baby Ella Victoria Lish 

Born:  July 1st

Weight:  7lbs. 4oz.

I went to the hospital at 10:00 am on July 1st to get induced

and had her at 8:30 that night.  It seemed like it took me a long time to 

get to a ten, but as far as the delivery it went great.  

I forget how much I love newborns.  She is the sweetest little thing!

We love her so much and it has been so fun having her in our home.

She is our little angel!

A very proud Daddy!

The kids came to the hospital and they all absolutely 

loved the baby.  Daxton did not want to let go of her.  

Dyson and Savannah were so sweet with her.  Savannah 

kept asking when we could bring her home.

Leaving the hospital 24 hours after delivery.

Summer fun!!!

Me and a few of my friends went on a girls night out before I have the 

baby.  We had a good time!  The picture above is of me and two of my

good friend, we are all pregnant.  I am obviously the furthest along.

We took the kids fishing on free fish day here in Idaho.  We didn't

have much luck catching fish, but the kids still had a good time.

Dyson had an early birthday party since I am going to be having the 

baby any day now.  He begged us to rent a bounce house.  He had a

blast and cried when they came and took it down.  

Daxton just learned how to ride a bike.  It is hilarious watching him ride 

it because he is so little.  Look at how happy he is!  He has to move side

to side in order to peddle because his legs are just a little too short.

Dyson has been doing swim lessons and is getting so good

at swimming.
