And her name is...

Baby Ellen! We have decided, at least for now, which probably means forever, that her name will be Ellen. We will call her Ellen, Elle, or Ellie...whichever suits for the moment! We are still deciding on a middle name (suggestions welcome!) and are getting really exciting to meet this little bundle of joy sent from Above!

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas everyone! What a great Christmas we had! So much time and fun was had at the Stewart's, Thanks tons mom and dad!, and such a great feeling of love and gratitude. We were able to have an "after Christmas" Christmas with the Anderson family earlier this week and it was also very enjoyable! What great families we have and feel so blessed. Hope ya'lls was just as wonderful!

Start spreadin' the news!

Baby #2 is on HER way! We are SO excited for another little girl! Kate is going to be the BEST biggest sister! We just found out before Thanksgiving and are so happy! Picking out a name will be a little more difficult this time as we already had Kate picked out from the beginning... Oh well... She will have the perfect name and we are happy! Official due date: 4/17/2011!!!

Happy Birthday dear Mommy...

Happy Halloween!! (Super Late!)

Hello everyone! It's been a long time since I posted and while I don't have the best excuse, life has been a little crazy around here! So this is our family for Halloween! Kate was our sweet little witch, who by the way did NOT like her costume. She seriously cried when we put it on her! Doesn't Steven look great as a 'Newsie', his beard is mighty handsome too! And I dressed in the famous Stewart 50's poodle skirt! We had so much fun and the Chili was awesome Mom!

Island Park...SO fun!

We have had SO much fun this last week. My parents have a condo in Island Park the first week in August every year and this year we decided to take part... a lot! Kate and I went up Friday with mom, dad, and uncle Craigy. We went to the pools the first night and the next day... we went to Big Springs, West Yellowstone (boy do I LOVE those Ice cream cones) and then back to the pools. But this time Auntie Stephy and uncle Jesse, and DADDY came! It was so fun! Then we went to church Sunday morning and in the afternoon headed to Sawtelle... It isn't the smoothest ride... but it was SO fun! It's beautiful and you can see the whole valley! Then our little family headed home for some time with the Stewart family! (FYI wackee 6 is a BLAST to play with you guys~!) Then Tuesday we headed back up again! We headed out as soon as we got there! We went to Earthquake lake... so cool, and sad... and to Hebgen lake and then back into West for another delicious ice cream cone! Steve, Craig, and I went swimming and grandma put Kate to bed! Then came Wednesday (Happy Anniversary Honey!) and we headed into the Park. It was so awesome! We saw a bald eagle, blue heron, tons of buffalo, elk, deer, and a Grizzly with her 3 cubs! It was awesome! We went to Canyon and saw the actually 'Yellowstone' and it is beautiful! We also went to West thumb, saw old Faithful at the perfect time, then went around Fire hole lake on the way out! It was so fun! We also stopped for the last and final ice cream cone of the trip! SO good!

It was such a fun day! I love you hon and can hardly believe it's been 3 years... I love you!

Enjoy the awesome pics!
