July 24th weekend to Setpt 27th

For the weekend of the 24th Tim's parents came into town. Ella fell quickly back in love with her grandparents during their short stay. It was a lot of fun to have them here and we miss them already! While they were here we had Ella's one year old birthday party! I can't believe my baby is already one! we also went to the 24th parade in bountiful, and had fireworks of our own at the close of Ella's party.

Directly following the Cartwright's departure from salt lake, my cousin's the Deveraux came into town, and we had my little cousin Alex Hoffman baptized. She looked beautiful! we are so proud of her decision.

We had an awesome trip up to midway, with my mom's whole side of the family. We played on the beach, at the pool, and just relaxed at the time share. We went to a park at like 10 pm to let all the kids run around and drain their energy as well. When we came back from midway we went to Raging Waters, it was a good 2 hours of play before we got rained out and were given "rain checks" to come back another day.

On Sunday Aug 8th my mom's side of the family did family pictures, and then Ella and I left for Bear lake with my dad's side of the family. Tim had to work and therefore stayed to hang out with my mom's family once his work day was finished until Thursday, when he came up to join us at Bear Lake. It was a blast! Ella loves the boat, the sand, the pool, the lake, and most of all Tubing! She was a natural! It was a very very busy and fun month!

Ella prefers to swim on her own it the pool, she has to be either in her tube or life jacket, however with neither she can float on her back for a second by her self! I love my little fish!

Tim started school back up, and so did my friend Mandy, this means Tim leaves for work in the morning, and I don't see him again until pretty late at night after school. To keep me busy I am watching Mandy's kids while she is at school. Maycee is in Kindergarten so she is gone half the day, and Emma is gone most the Day in second grade! That means Wyatt (16 months) and Ella (14 months) get to entertain each other and me all day long! Ella and Wyatt play really well together and I think Ella will be very sad when summer comes around and she wont have her boyfriend to play with everyday!

Other news, most of you know my best friend Jaclyn, She is getting married! I am so excited for her and her husband to be, Brad, they make a very cute couple! Congrats guys! love you!

We went to the State Fair with our good friends, Ty and Cristi, as well as Katy, Jared and all of our little munchkins, it was a lot of fun, just like old times!

We went down to St. George just last weekend for my new little niece to be blessed! She is gorgeous! My brother Dan did a very good, it was spiritual, fun and I really wish we lived closer, Ella had so much fun playing her cousins all weekend!

I think that is about it as far as updates go! sorry there are no pictures, I promise some will come soon!
