Sorry, No Pictures

Well, I don't have any new pictures to post, but I thought I'd update the blog anyway.

Ellie and I have been keeping busy with swim lessons and park trips the last two weeks. She has one more week of lessons and then we will be getting ready to head to Idaho for Josh and Jordan's wedding! Ellie is going to be a flower girl and she is very excited about it. She may not have a clue what it means, but still she tells us every day, "I am a flower girl!" After hearing a description of the dresses from Jordan, I am sure that Abby and Ellie will look absolutely adorable!

We have a nice family weekend planned to celebrate my birthday on Sunday. I can't believe I am turning the big 3-0 this year. I suppose you can't believe it either, Mom! Tim, Ellie, and I are going to try and make it over to a working "kids" farm tomorrow morning. (We were supposed to go with Hailey, Berlin, and Jamison this morning but they were closed. Three little ones were very disappointed!) The farm has lots of animals to play with, eggs to gather from the hen house, a big sandbox, lots of trikes, and tons of other things to do. Tomorrow afternoon Hailey has graciously offered to watch Ellie while Tim and I go see Harry Potter at the theater. We still haven't left Ellie with a babysitter; tomorrow was supposed to be the first, but Tim backed out... :) Luckily, Hailey came to our rescue!

We told Ellie that it was going to be my birthday this weekend. Ellie replied with, "Oh Mommy! Can I come to your party?" I believe that she is picturing something involving a bounce house... She also pointed out that she would get to eat cake. I hadn't really planned on a cake, but I don't want to disappoint her. Any excuse for cake, right?

Hopefully I will have some new pictures next week. We went on a beautiful hike last weekend, but forgot the camera. Ellie hiked almost two miles, and would have gone more if we hadn't put her in the pack so that we could move a little faster. She is our active, outdoor girl!
