Brittons B-day

For Britton's, Devin's little brother, we went to the Sandy utah aquarium. It was SO fun. They really had alot more there than I thought they would. They had alligators, frogs, sharks, Ocotopus, Jellyfish, starfish and much more. They also had a fun Utah section where they had fish, snakes, and frogs that are all in utah. They also had sting ray that you could pet. It was insane. They were very slimy which was expected but they had sharp spikes on their backs too. Devin was showing Elysa the sting ray cause she was really fascinated by them and she was leaning over the water alittle and a  big sting ray swam up and tried to "kiss" her was how we described it ;). It scared Devin so bad cause he was trying to get my attention then all the sudden here is this big sting ray jumping out of the water at Elysa.. she thought it was funny tho. The same sting ray must have liked her cause it kept swimming to where ever Elysa was.
The Octopus was so fun to watch he was big and so graceful. I got a fun video of him. If I worked at the aquarium I would come every night just to relax by watching the octopus and the jelly fish swim.. they are so gracefull and very peaceful.. crazy because they both can be pretty deadly.I had a soccer game that night.. we lost :( but after we went to the Texas Roadhouse for dinner. It was really good and decently priced too.
When we got back everyone was so excited for swimming. Elysa really loves swimming. It was a fun filled birthday.. Happy Birthday again Brit thanks for inviting us :)

A day at the park

It was such a beautiful sunday for a walk to the park. Elysa LOVES the swing and we got some cute pictures of her in it.
She loves going high.
I LOVE this face! It's her signature "O" face.

Being thoughtful. My mom took this picture.. I think it's pretty professional. It's going up on my wall :)
Our cute little trio!

It'll be fun when the day comes that we will be chasing her around the playground but we're enjoying going down the slide with her on our laps for now, as long as it's NOT the tube slide she loves it.

This is my digital Scrapbook. And.. yeah.. i designed the papers and stuff myself :) sweet huh?

Elysa's Favorite Video! She asks for it by pointing at the computer and yelling "Apples!Apples"
