It's a big deal!!

Sleep. You don't really realize how much you love and need it until your not getting much of it. Connly was a good sleeper right off the bat...not my Ellie girl. She slept 11:00 pm to 7:45am for the time last night! Aww it felt so good to wake up rested and ready for the day!! Go Ellie! Thanks for letting Mommy sleep!

Happy 3 years to us!

We made it three years on March 13Th! It was spring break and Paul thought it was a good idea to work over time while he didn't have classes...crazy boy there is a reason its called spring BREAK. We're blessed he's a hard worker tho! So we celebrated Friday and Saturday by going up to SLC to eat at the Roof and stay the night up there. The food was awesome and the view was really pretty. We usually go to The garden but we finally talked our self into spending the money to go to the Roof and we're glad we did. It was fun! Ellie came with us but wild man had a sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa's. After dinner we rented Titanic and went to back to our room and just relaxed! (haha Titanic SO random but Paul had never seen it and he ended up thinking it was a good movie!) Paul woke up with Ellie girl that night. AWWWW it was nice to sleep!! We got to sleep in til about 9:30 it felt amazing!! Sleep is precious these days. We then got up and headed out to do some shopping. It was nice to spend sometime with each other and TALK. I love talking and laughing like kids with Paul. Can't believe we've been married 3 years and have 2 kids! We both wouldn't want it any other way. We're still learning more and more about each other and we're still in love! The last couple weeks even being a little sleep deprived I can't stop thinking about how good our little life is. Life is good! We both can't wait for Paul to be done with school and to find a place to settle down and raise our family!! We sold our contract for our apartment here in Provo and we're in the process of finding a new place! More room...I'm so excited!
Here is a little of what we're up to these days....
Paul:
Full time school
Full time work
Just started a new job and LOVES it
Tries to play basketball every week
Learning to be a daddy of two kids(I think he's doing a great job!)
Me:

Learning to run on what feels like zero sleep

Ellie girl 3 weeks old.

Oh my goodness we are SO in love with this cute girl! She has us all wrapped right around her little finger. Connly can't get enough of her. He's my little helper. Whenever I'm changing her he's right there telling her stories. If I'm burping her he needs to burp her to. If I'm talking to her he's right there talking to her to. If I'm feeding her he needs to help hold the bottle. He LOVES to kiss the top of her head. He's always saying "her cute!" "Its okay baby!" "What doin baby?""Her cryin?" "Baby ok?" He runs right in when she wakes up from her naps and says "Hi baby what doin?" I love the way he is with her. I LOVE having two kids. Can't wait for her to not wake up every two hours to eat(last night she slept 3 hours straight and that was a first!). These long nights are kickin momma's butt!;) I love to watch Paul with her. He's so in love. I can already tell he's going to have a hard time telling her no. Nothing better than a Daddy's girl! I'm just as in love with her! I love having a girl and a boy makes life so fun! Bring on the warm weather so we can get out and enjoy the sun!Paul took this picture of them tonight when he was putting Connly to bed...Love them!

Saturday in Nephi




Week and a half stay with Mama Lori


















Our Hospital Stay

Daddy went down to get lunch and brought back Ellie her first teddy bear and balloons. He is wrapped around her little finger already!(little side note that I need to add. The night before we were going to be induced Paul and me were talking and Paul was telling me how he couldn't wait to meet Ellie and how he was going to "deck out" her room by hanging hearts all over and have pink balloons everywhere and went on and on about how he was going to decorate our room. I had to break it to him lightly that he couldn't:( I couldn't even bring the balloons I got for Mckel and Presley into there room so I was sure that he wouldn't be able to do all that. haha I did think it was the cutest thing I had heard. He loves his baby girl!!
We had to stay one more night for them to make sure everything was good with me and then the next day we were able to leave around 3. Claire came to visit before we left and brought the cutest gift! Ellie and me matching toms! I'm in love!Getting ready to leave and head to Grandma Lori's.


We're so in LOVE!
