Trick or Treat!!!! Happy Halloween!!

Whitney is a pretty princess and I am the princess's monkey. As you can see my monkey costume does not fit very well. It was supposed to be Whitney's costume but she made it quite clear that she wanted to be the princess.

Steph was a construction worker. The cute thing was that her belt was full of stuff for her new baby, like bottles and butt paste.

This was before Halloween. We were carving pumpkins.

Whitney did not like the feel of the pumpkin gut's.

Happy Halloween!!!!

Happy Birthday Adaline!

Last Saturday Adaline had her first birthday. We all got together and had a party and than the boys watched the Boise State game. The party was so fun, we played a lot of fun little games like pin the jewel on the crown and musical squares. The best thing was that I had my two other pregnant sisters who were just as silly looking as me trying to play. Aki was due any day, Steph is due in November and I am due in December.

Its Potty Time!!

Well about 5 days ago I was getting Whitney ready to get in the shower and right when I had all of her cloths of got a phone call. Well, that was when Whitney realized that she had to go pee. So she open up the shower door stepped in went pee and than stepped back out. I was so surprised because she is only about 22 months, but I thought if she knows enough not to pee on the floor certainly she could understand that she can pee in the toilet. And to be honest I am really tired of changing diapers. So later that night when it looked like she was trying to push out a poop I took off her diaper and put her on the toilet. And sure enough there she went, the sound of a little poop hitting the water rang in my ear. I can not describe how happy and proud that little poop in the toilet made me. I could have been more proud than if I had just gotten drafted into the WNBA. I almost cried, OK maybe I did cry, a little. The next morning I put her in panties and we had a very intense morning of pee, poop and snacks. By that afternoon she came up to me with desperate eyes holding herself say "mommy poopy", so I scooped her up and ran her to the bathroom but her panties were still dry. As soon as that bum hit the seat I heard the little tickle. She has stayed completely dry for three days now, NIGHT and day. I am a proud momma. Now we just have to master the difference between toots and poops because now she tells me every time she has to toot that she needs to go potty. Yesterday we called grandma and Whitney told her, " ON NACK" (i GOT A SNACK), "I POOP", "ON NA PODI" (ON THE POTTY)

Flash Back to The Boise Zoo

At the begining of the summer, before I started showing that I was pregnant, I went and visited Mollie in Boise, with my little sis Johanna. While we were down there we met up with Stephanie and Larry, who were visiting Larry's parents and went to the Bosie Zoo.

Family Reunion

Well we had our Ellis Family Reunion for the year, and yes of corse it was a blast. We had it here in Wendell. Everyone came and pitched their tents in Stephanie and Larry's Yard, and we played game and ate food in mine. We played Volleyball on one of the days and that turned out really good. All of the most competative people got put on a team, Heath, David, and Derrick. Well all of the most competitive people except for me.But I didn't really have a right to be because I was big and pregnant an really couldn't do anything great, but that doesn't mean that I wasn't tickeled pink when Kip, who was on my team, slammed it down David's throat a couple of times. KIP ROCKS!!!! He's the volleyball master.
On Saturday the plan was that the boys would go boating but it was too windy so most of the boy went to the movie's. They went to see G-I-Joe, which according to Matthew has "the most beautiful women he has ever seen" in it. Hahaha! All of the women stayed and did crafts with the kids. After we were done with that we put kids down for their naps but Whitney wouldn't go, she was having to much fun watching Mollie paint her nails. finally Whitney decided she wanted some and sat down in front of Mollie putting her foot right in Mollie's line of vision and said "please". So aunt Mollie was nice and painted her nails. Well in was not long before we all were painting our nails. So fun!! Leejean I hope you don't mind that we used your nail pollish. hehe!
Oh and I sunday it was sunny and there was no wind. God Definatly has a sence of hummor. On sunday we did a talent show. Mom gave all the kid and instrument and got them to play. There was many great acts, singing dancing, Preston sleeping, magic tricks, story telling, and Berny cracked his big bolewip a couple of times. My husband is so cute.
