Ella quotes

Lately the things Ella says that make me laugh have to do with "potty" things. The other day we were at my mom's and she went up to my mom and said, "Nanna, my toot said..... POOP!" (poop was said in a higher voice).
And this morning she told me with great concern, "Mom I ran out of toots"

Funny!

Altlanta, Georgia

That is where Dung (my Vietnamese bro) got his mission call to. Yay! He is so excited! We (Dung and I) went shopping all day Friday for suits.
Atlanta is where Dung and my Bro. Sam's friend Dallas is on his mission. (Whose parents are friends of the fam, and his mom Kayola, who by the way is an awesome blogger, was Matt's Sunday School teacher when he was a teenager.) I know, small world!! Before Dallas left, Dung told him that he was going to visit him on his mission... I think Dallas leaves 3 months after Dung gets there... so he's keeping his promise to "visit". I thought that was really cool!
Anyway we're really proud of Dung for the choice he has made to go on a mission and we think he's a pretty cool kid!

Cardinals Playoff Game

Matt won tickets to the first Cardinals playoff game this year through the alumni division at his work because he graduated this year and his name was drawn!!  We put the tickets on Craigslist to try and sell them because they were worth a good lot of cash but we only got offered someone's services so we ended up going and having a great time.  Luckily it was on a Saturday!  We had been watching games here and there and so I feel were able to appreciate it more than if we hadn't kept up at all.  
This picture was taken from our parking space!  Look how close we were!  The parking ticket came with the tickets that he won.  We were so lucky to be this close!
Parking space 9
Us before the game started.  We ate right before the game started, too.  I wish I would have taken a picture of our meals to show what you get for $35... yep that's right! $35!  A hamburger, a chicken sandwich, 2 things of fries and 1 drink to share!  Holy crap!  (at least the game was free!)
The HUGE flag covered just about the whole field
The team coming onto the field
NOT a woman
The back of 3 doors down (we didn't really care... is that bad?)
Right before the game ended
And in case you didn't hear... They won!  Yay!

Trip to Happy Holbrook

The girls and I took a trip with my parents and Dung to Holbrook (where my dad's parents and sisters live)  We went up in the morning and were home by night.  It was a nice trip, we got to visit with family and my sister Erin and her fam met us there.  It was so nice to see everyone.
"Frosty"
Macy didn't care much to be in the snow!
Ella was so proud!
Making "Frosty"
Enduring the cold
The snow pictures are from when we stopped on our way home.  Ella had lots of fun, but Macy didn't.  She doesn't like the cold... just like her mom!
Dung out cold on the way home
Cousin Cheyanne
The girls on the swings.  This was the same swing  set we had when we were younger.  I remember moving the trampoline right next to it and jumping off the monkey bars onto it.
My cousin Travis and the dogs... and my mom holding Macy

We watched uncle Steve on his tractor
