YA! St George for a week!!!

Me and the girls were able to go to St George for a week two weeks ago to visit with my parents it was sure fun. Then Derek and my brother's family came down over Memorial weekend. Beware there are alot of pictures to see.

This first one is one that Ellie had the camera at my mom's work. She works at a mattress store and got called into work while we were down there so we went to visit with her and Ellie got the camera out of my purse and was having fun in the store. She really wanted a picture of this big sheep that is on one of the beds.
We also can't go to St George and not go swimming. Here is Hailee and my Dad swimming.



Ellie with the camera at my mom's work. Sorry the pictures got out of order.

I love this one she took of herself.

I am really glad she took this picture of my mom. She doesn't like pictures taken of her. So good job Ellie.

Also when we go to St George I take the girls to a swim park that is down town St George. They love it!

There is also a fun park that I take them to too.

The park has on one side this water thing and the other is the park. I put them in there swim suits and they wouldn't even get into the water. They just wanted to play on the park side.

Grandpa Dean also took the three older grand kids on a hike that they love.

Oops! Here is some other pictures at the park.

I love this one how you can see the car down below them.

Of course we had to go to Jumping jacks too.

We had so much fun when we go and visit Grandma and Grandpa in St George. I never want to leave and my mom doesn't want us to leave either. I think we are going to have to do it again before Ellie is in school.

Ellie's Dance Recital and Preschool Graduation

Ellie with her cap on for graduating from Preschool. She wouldn't let me take a picture that night with her dress on so this is what I get. Oh well it is still cute.

Ellie getting her scrapbook of things they did through out the year. It is so cute too. The teacher did a great job on it and did one for every kid that was in her classes. It has her handwriting from the first of the year to the end of the year and her height and weight from the first of the year to the end of the school year. I was really impressed and pictures of all the holidays and art projects they did too.

This is the when they were singing some of the rhymes and songs they learned through the school year.

Ellie at her dance recital. They danced to the song Hot, Hot, Hot from the little mermaid.

She did a great job and has so much fun in dance class.

Ellie is the second in on the far right side
on the front row.

This is how exciting Hailee thought the dance recital was.

Ellie was so excited to wear make-up for the dance recital. I even let her wear mascara for the first time. She didn't like it when I put it on, but she sure liked how she looked with it on.

Ellie got ahold of the camera in the car!

She even took a picture of Hailee too!

I love her face in this one.

Ellie's Birthday

Ellie wanted rainbow cake and cupcakes for her party. So here they are and she took them to preschool today for the treat because it was her turn for the treat. She was so excited to take them too.

This is before the icing. Of course!

Ellie's birthday was on Sunday and church is at 9:00 am so we wanted to wait until after church to open her presents. She didn't really want to. I set out one present before church and she found it on the table first thing in the morning and it was a cupcake charm necklace. She came and woke up me and Derek and wanted to open the rest of her presents. She received a scooter, new sandals, a Barbie, a skirt, a toy blow dryer, curling iron and hair straighter for her dolls hair. She was also very excited to go and take her ticket (she called it) to the bishop after church for a treat too. She didn't make it to far down the hall at church and she had her candy bar already open.

Hailee had to get on her scooter too.

Ellie received money from her Great Grandma and Grandpa Southam.

Ellie's birthday party with the girls. She was so excited to have a rainbow princess party. The girls made bracelets that had there name on them and we played games and had a rainbow cupcake and ice cream and opened presents too. She loved all the presents he girls gave her.

Her are the girls! Oaklee, Tess, Katie, Grace, Abbie, Ellie, Hailee, and Macie.

One of the games was called freeze dance. So I put down a bunch of blown up balloons on the floor and turned on music and they danced through them and when the music stopped they had to freeze. They really liked that game. I was cute to watch them too. Thanks everyone for coming to the party.

Sleeping and Dancing

This is how Hailee fell asleep the other day on Ellie. She did not want me to move her. Ellie wanted to hold her while she slept.

Ellie with the camera again.

The girls love to get on the princess dress up dresses when we watch dancing with the stars. All I have to say is dancing with the stars and Hailee runs out of the room to get her dress on.

Love the pose!

This is how Ellie was sleeping yesterday.

I was really surprised that Hailee fell asleep like this the other day. I thought it was great.

Easter

We has a little Easter egg hunt in the back yard. Luckily the snow melted a little so they could find the eggs.

Ellie came out of preschool before Easter like this. I thought what a cute idea.

This is the best picture I could get of the girls together in there Easter dresses.
Hailee was ready for a nap.

Can you tell?

This is all Ellie would do.
