Name for baby girl

Ellese (Elle) Lambson

We got the name from my great, great Grandma. Her name is Ann Ellese Smoots, and we really wanted to call our "baby girl" Ellie so we thought it was a good choice. Apologize and thanks to those in the family that have this name already. It is just to cute, hope you don't mind sharing.

Anything pink in the house Conway has conceded is Elle's. It does not stop him from durability testing any of the new pieces and crafts though, and he may want to keep using them after Elle gets here in October. What only 4 weeks away!

Let the crafting begin:


*My amazingly talented Aunt Cheryl designed and created some new pink bumper pads and crib skirt. We love her! Thanks a million times Aunt Cheryl, you are awesome.


* We recovered a foot stool and made a pillow to revamp the new rocker I got. The quilt is one Aunt Cheryl also made, before we knew Conway was a boy. His is blue, he will keep his he says.


*Britton designed and made a wooden changing table and cradle .

*I claimed an old bulletin board of Danielle's to collect Elle's bows on. No picture: needs more bows. ;)


* Another cute craft Britton made for me, "A Family Ruler" Yep, those are Conway's marks, over 3ft tall. Rumor is that means he will be over 6ft when he is done growing. He has his Daddy's genes.


Oh and did you remember me telling you the pool was closing, Conway found a solution to the problem today.

We love summer!


Is Summer really almost over? Britton starts school in two weeks, pool closes, and all vacations are done.

We have enjoyed it while it lasted.

(Conway's new thing is to lay in tub and hum, he likes how it sounds and feels)

Dad is so silly covering Conway in sand.

Family reunion in Ramah was great! Conway loves riding horses. When he gets past the "mine" stage he will love being with his cousins too, I am sure.

Last weekend we got to drive up to Utah to see these two get married.
Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Grace.
It is always nice to go to Utah and see old friends, Thanks Jed, Sena and boys, Shae and David for making time for us! You guys are awesome.
We also got to see Westley and Stasia's new house and spend some fun times with them in Utah.







And Yes I am 31 weeks pregnant! We are going to be a family of 4 in less then 9 weeks. Baby girl is growing well as you can tell. ;) We are all getting excited.
