Old Lady Parking
When we were headed into the school for conferences, Zoey passed this painted on the ground. She looks at me and said “Sweet, I never knew our school had old lady parking”
Too tired to care
Levi was asleep on the couch, we woke up and told me that he needed to go potty. When I came back out in the living room, I found this. He must have been too tired to get his undies back on.
Ranger Ride for 12
We picked up Tiff and her kids and went for a little Ranger Ride fun!
Even Macih went all bundled up in the front pack!
Halloween 2012

The mermaid and Diego
Levi as Diego complete with Rescue Pack and Baby Jaguar.
Ever since Halloween, Levi asks me to make his hair “spicy” I say spikey…he says yes spicy.
Avery as Velma
“Like Wow Scoob…it’s Velma and Scooby Doo”
Rylee as a gypsy
11 of the 15 Ellis Grandkids headed out to trick or treat. It was COLD, with the windy whipping, but the first Halloween I have been here that there was no snow. We slammed some fingers in the car door, and 2 boys face planted off the school nurses' front porch, but it was a successful night. You can imagine the reaction we got when people opened their doors.
The beautiful moon
The moon so bold and bright always reminds me of my mom. No matter how many miles separate us, we are always under the same moon.
My friend took this…
Ryan took the following
Never Gets Old!
The beauty of the state that we live in never gets old. I got these pictures from a friend. I am determined to take some pictures of my own. I told him the next time they are out I am headed to his house to take pictures with him. I even made Ryan buy me a tripod.
Good Helper Avery
Avery loves to help with Macih…she is getting really good at feeding him. Now if she would just learn to change diapers.
Brothers
Boy to I love my boys!!! Levi sure loves his little brother too. He always wants to see and kiss him and he gets upset when he cries. There is a bond there that will only get stronger with time!

Breakfast by Avery
Avery wanted to help make pancakes. She loves to be in the kitchen with me. We just need to master the task of not getting shells in the dish when you crack eggs!

BIG boy!
Levi is wearing undies and potty training. I hadn’t pushed the issue..one I didn’t want to clean up major messes and two he told me he likes his diapers all the time. On Wed, when he got out of the bath, he said I have to go potty and he went to the potty chair and went. He has been going ever since. We have had a few mishaps, like not getting undies down fast enough, but no major accidents. I am so happy! He is doing great. I knew once he decided he was ready he would just do it! It was definitely a tender mercy from the Lord. He knew I couldn’t handle much more on my plate!
Potato Gun
Rylee got to shoot the potato gun that Ryan and Casey built. I wish I could show you how far the potatoes actually go! You lose sight of them before they even start to drop. I tried to video it, but it doesn’t so it justice.
Visitors
You rarely see one bull moose..but three together is crazy..they even locked horns and fought a little bit!
