Lots of Lovin' and a little bit of playin'

So we have had a great summer, Tyler took school off for spring and summer so we have been lucky to just hang out everyday until he goes to work at 2:30.  Hayden is going to be so sad when he starts school again this fall.  Here are a few fun things from our summer!

 My Brother got home from his mission! 

 When I grow a foot or two I want to be just like you!

We have had a great summer but we are ready to bring on the FALL.  This is my most favorite time of year!  

Growing like Crazy

So It's been quite a while since I have posted.  Here is a little update of our sweet Ellery.

 This is her 3 months.

 4 Months 

 5 months 

6 months

Ellery is seriously the sweetest little girl ever.  When Ellery was about 4 weeks old she started to get really Colicky.  Hayden went through this same thing only his only lasted about a week.  Ellery's continued for quite some time, after about 8 weeks of extreme colic we had tried several different things that were supposed to help (they didn't) we had several people suggest a Chiropractor.  I was terrified to take her, so it took 3 different people recommending it and 4 straight days of non stop crying for me to finally cave.  I took her in when she was just over 3 months old.  Let me just tell you it was life changing!!! Ever since we started going to the Chiropractor she has been the BEST little girl ever.  She still loves to be held but is usually pretty content sitting with toys (until her brother pushes her over or sits on her head)  

She is very dramatic, but it's just her little girly personality.  She can roll from her back to her tummy, only over her left shoulder.  She can sit up and get to her tummy from a sitting position.  She has recently started rolling over in her bed at night which wakes her up because she can't get back to her back.  She had been sleeping through the night since she was 4 months old which has been heaven until this little rolling phase.  She has beautiful blue eyes and everyone asks if they are truely as blue as they are in pictures and yes yes they are!   We are hoping they will stay that blue but not counting on it.  She is super stingy with her laughs, so if you can get her to laugh you are amazingly funny!  Brother can always get her to laugh even just looking at her, she thinks he is the funniest person ever! (which he usually is)  She is a little talker she just babbles all day long and if she gets bored or no one is paying attention to her she makes funny noises with her tongue.  She hates to wear bows but has to put up with it because mommy makes her (unless were at home)  She has been such a joy to have in our home!  I'm not sure what we did before she arrived.  Such a sweet girl
