The BIG 5!

Holy Cow, when did this happen?!

This kid wont stop growing up.

It's driving me crazy watching him grow so fast when all I want to do is press pause.

Today was one of those days that I wish could go on and on.

We went to the Aquarium with Grandma and Grandpa Ellis and Grandma Lucy and Jaeley and Bradyn.

He had so much fun and everyone had so much fun watching him be so excited seeing everything.

He really is so fun to explore the world with.

Afterwards we went back to our place and met up with Grandma and Grandpa McEvoy and his McEvoy cousins and had cake.

All he wanted was a Shark cake and I enjoyed giving him that.

Super easy using his toys for decor too.

On his actual birthday we got to go to Airborn with his Ellis cousins.

He really loves his family and they really love him.

Scotty is so full of life and it makes ours so much sweeter since he came around.

A little about Scott at 5:

His favorite color is green

His favorite foods are ice cream and hot dogs. 

(He eats so many things now but these are still his favorites)

His favorite dinosaur is a T Rex.

His favorite sea creature is the Great White Shark.

His favorite animal is a panther.

His favorite thing to do is play with toys and getting new toys.

He loves playing with friends and being tickled by his dad.

He is such a great big brother and loves to make Deano laugh.

He is still so quick to laugh and smile but can still through so huge fits when the time is right.

He loves school and learning and is starting to put sounds together and reading a few words.

He will still cuddle with his mom every morning and loves hugs and kisses.

Happy Birthday Scott Jay Ellis!

We love you to bits and pieces.

School Pics 2014

OH!

MY!

PERFECT!

PICTURE!

Holy cow my kid is cute!

And seriously, He's So BIG!

When did he get so old?

Now I have to tell you, I had to fight for a smile with this kid.

He was having a serious melt down a semi second before the click.

I had to do so much bargaining to get this smile.

A happy meal and an ice cream.

Gosh he's a tough cookie but totally worth it for this AMAZING pic.

This boy makes me sad for other moms who's sons aren't as cute as mine, which is like everyone cause Scotty is just the cutest around.

I know, I'm a bit obsessed with my kid.

I just love him so much. 

Jilly Bean

Today my Jilly Bean got married.

Oh how I love this girl.

She is one of my heroes.

I went to the bountiful temple to witness it and oh how my heart sings for this girl.

And Holy Cow, she was absolutely GLOWING!

I don't think I've ever seen her look more beautiful.

I made a complete fool of myself though.

I gave her a hug after wards and walked right past her new husband and didn't say a thing.

I just didn't think about it, no, I don't know how one doesn't think about it.

I must have blinked or wiped a tear from my eye and walked right past.

I'm such a ditzy, rude idiot.

Anyway, after wards we went to her grandma's house in Lehi to celebrate and I apologized profusely to her husband, Aaron.

He was teasing me about it which is a good thing, cause even though we just met we are already past the awkward polite hump and now on the friendly banter and joking life long friendship path like Jilly is with Mark.

Like all weddings I couldn't help but think of mine and Mark's.

Oh how I love being married and Mark is my very best friend.

He and I just have the best time together and being silly together.

We had so much fun remembering our special day during her big day.

Heaven

It sucks when babies are sick.

And when Mark is sick I can never tell who's the bigger baby.

But there is one wonderful thing that happens when babies are sick.

Cuddles!

Lots and lots of cuddles.

Oh cuddling is one of my very favorite things.

I love when this boy falls asleep on me.

It really does feel like Heaven to me.
