Ellie Rocks!!

So, I've been meaning to post about Ellie for at least a week now, and being the good mom that I am...I've continued to forget about it. Well, now that she's sleeping I don't have to hear her tell me to get off the stupid computer (usually I change my mind about her awesomeness when that happens)...

Anyway, on to the reason why Ellie is the best. Last Sunday was our ward's primary program, and about four weeks before the primary president called and asked if Ellie would do this talk again. She LOVED giving/practicing that talk, so of course I was more than happy to have her do it. However, over a four week span, Ellie was sick of practicing. She would throw a couple of fits, and the only thing that would shape her up was when I would tell her I would have Grace give it (her little friend that was coming to church with us). I started thinking this was a bad idea.

Well, the day came. We invited Great Grandpa and Grandma, Grandma GiGi, Grandpa and Grandma Jessen, and Aaron's family (well Aaron called to ask if he could come, because they asked him to talk in church, and he didn't want to). Everyone was there. When it was time for Ellie's talk, I could tell she was a little nervous. That little girl of mine got up to the mic with a full audience of adults (everyone knows she doesn't like adults), and gave her talk all by herself. She rocked!! Dan even said he got a little misty eyed...he loves that baby girl.

I love Ellie's personality. Every time I read something about her she cracks me up. I wanted to tell you too, I found 10 reusable liners and an unopened roll or biodegrabable liners, I think there is a 100 in the package. If you are still wanting to cloth diaper you are more than welcome to them.

Syd, that would be great! Let me know how much you want for them.

Ok, girl, I know you are working and pregnant, but I have tagged your blog and hopefully you will be able to respond. I know you are super busy, but I am really missing your posts. We need to see that baby bump, nothing since that half marathon. Plus, I'm sure Ellie has been up to something.
