Text of the page (random words):
randpa s van for the trip so we would have a little more room ellie loved everything about the van we then hit disneyland for the next few days we thought we were being smart going the week before uea and that we would miss the crowds boy were we wrong not only did we share the park with half the state of utah but the state of arizona was on fall break and decided to join us as well despite the crowds the weather was great timing for everything worked out well and we had a blast ellie loved the carousels seriously you can ride those at the mall monsters inc the little mermaid ride the teacups i have to pat myself on the back for actually going on this one pregnant and not losing it and buzz lightyear s astroblasters she would crash every afternoon around 3 which was perfect for us we would stake out our spot early for the parade let her nap and either enjoy some ice cream in peace or paul would sneak off and ride the big rides maybe it was the prime seating maybe it was the music or maybe it was seeing all of her favorite characters but ellie was nuts about the parades we literally had to hold on to the back of her shirt to prevent her from joining the parade herself seeing her wave to all her favorite characters made the trip totally worth it priceless now for a picture overload loving the parade we can t go to disneyland without snacking on the delicious pickles cars land is quite impressive and overly crowded monsters inc is ellie s new favorite movie we rode this ride like 20 times ellie loved the characters from afar but got a little shy up close we decided to enjoy the halloween season at disneyland by getting tickets for mickey s halloween party i am so glad that paul took the plunge and bought these tickets for us it was by far our most favorite day at disneyland they keep the park open from 6 11 for those with tickets and have a variety of halloween festivities we got to go trick or treating see a special parade ride the rides meet the characters watch a special fireworks show and dress up in costume they limit the amount of tickets given out which decreased the wait time for rides so nice i think we found a favorite vacation spot after four straight days of disneyland we were ready for a change of pace we met up with some friends for a fun beach day what started out as a rainy cloudy day quickly turned and we ended up having a beautiful beach day on the drive home we asked ellie what she liked better disneyland or the beach of course the beach paul was so good to get down and fully play in the sand with ellie sand and i aren t the best of friends so i limited my play to getting the hands dirty loved every minute of it paul rented a body board and spent half the afternoon catching some waves and last but not least the game i had never been to an away game before and had all these concerns in my mind about people yelling at us or throwing food at us i don t know what i was thinking everyone around us was so nice we ended up scalping tickets and scored big when we wound up in about the only section with shade for the whole game and it wasn t squishy crowded which kept us sane because ellie could actually move around except for the loss the game turned out to be best case scenario after the game we hit the road and decided to power through the night and make the drive in one day we had such a good time but there s no place like home posted by the three wiseman at 9 11 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday september 7 2012 our crazy summer i am loving the stage that my munchkin is in it is so fun to take her out exploring the various hotspots that the valley has to offer we tried to squeeze in as much as we could this summer and had a grand time doing it first up bee s game paul and i love going to bee s games so i was pumped when we decided to take in our first game of the season i thought i was pulling a genius move by hitting the train first before the line got insane wrong ellie became so attached to the train that she sobbed the rest of the game for her choo choo needless to say we left early maybe next year swimming my sister lives in an ivory development that has a wonderful set of pools for kiddos ellie gets progressively more and more comfortable in the water every time we go considering that she wasn t nervous to begin with we are now at the stage where mom can t take her eyes off her kiddo for two seconds or she s jumping in the side of the pool we have a little fish on our hands here she is rocking her pink shades with her cousin kaylee and pal gavin lagoon our friends were so great to offer us a few lagoon tickets so we thought why not warm ellie up for our disneyland trip in october ellie loved it she was a little nervous the first time we put her on a ride herself but adjusted quickly and had a blast all night long she became so attached to the orange boat the first time she went on them that the second she got off the ride she wanted to go again while waiting in line she had a few choice words for a couple of boys that took her precious orange boat funny girl my parents were so great and came to grab ellie an hour before the park closed so that paul and i could sneak in a few adult rides we had a good time but quickly realized that in our old age 3 rides is about our max unless we wanted to pay the garbage cans a visit tracy aviary after reading somewhere about the benefits you get with a tracy aviary membership i decided to take the plunge ellie liked seeing all the birds and loved being able to just walk around and explore outside i m excited to check out the other discount places i get into with my new membership jungle jim s after the success of lagoon ellie and i followed up with a trip to jungle jim s she was in heaven i learned the hard way to wait until the end of the visit to ride the roller coaster i thought i was going to puke bryce canyon after having ellie almost two years ago i decided it was probably time for me to get back in shape i signed up for a half marathon and got to work i am an extremely slow runner but my goal was to run the entire time not stop for a bathroom break and to beat my previous half marathon time from two years ago i accomplished all of those goals so i felt good about the race it was a lot of fun and a really pretty race it was great to have my cheering section there with me they were so great to battle the rain too before heading home we slipped in a quick fishing trip for ellie she loved it mostly the throwing rocks into the lake part but was elated when she caught her first fish ever red butte garden i have gone to red butte gardens with my first graders on a field trip before and enjoyed it but i must admit i was worried about trying it out with ellie i thought she would get bored she ended up loving it she spent much longer than i had anticipated in the children s garden area and was not too thrilled when we had to leave i am excited to go back in the fall when it is not so hot silver lake oh the places i have discovered by being a teacher another one of our field trips took us up to silver lake which is beautiful and such an easy doable hike with a toddler so of course i had to take ellie even though ellie had a puke session right as we pulled up to the parking lot and a blistered foot we had a great time i recommend going if you haven t gone before my sister even got lucky when she took her kiddos and saw a moose fireworks we had a great 4th of july but i didn t take a single picture we did do a little sparkler popper action for the 24th though ellie was a little hesitant of the sparklers at first but as you can see it didn t last long willard bay after an epic boating fail last year our friends took another chance on us and invited us out to a day on the lake i was so relieved when ellie actually put on the life jacket and left it on without screaming hooray she loved the water and kept jumping off the back of the boat to paul we decided to try the tube with her and she enjoyed it thanks to the myers for a great time thanksgiving point my sister won a free year pass to thanksgiving point and was generous and brave enough to invite us out for the day ellie loves animals and had so much fun especially when she got to ride the pony for those of you still with us thanks for catching up with us we have a busy fall planned with football festivals parties and a trip to disneyland stay tuned posted by the three wiseman at 3 17 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday june 12 2012 spring 2012 we have had a wonderfully busy spring paul has been incredibly busy with work so thankfully ellie and i have been able to get out of the house and enjoy the good weather to make the time pass by faster what have we been up to easter ellie was so much fun this year we dyed easter eggs with the stringfellow clan and did the egg hunting with the hogan clan eloise loved it all perhaps next year she will be able to dye the eggs without throwing them into the cups cracking them and actually gather more than one egg before eagerly flinging its contents across the lawn hee haw farm ellie and i went to the hee haw farm last year and had a blast this year we decided to involve our cousins mom of course chose the windiest day of the year amidst the giant slide petting zoo hay ride and games we managed to weather the storm quite marvelously such a great petting zoo ellie spent most of the time chasing this duck she could give napoleon a good fight yeah paint paint paint eloise is already a right brain girl she likes to color and draw but loves to paint thanks to pinterest i found the brilliant idea of using sweet and condensed milk as paint this has now become an almost daily request by our little picaso she looks like a hobo i know i get it wheeler farm ellie and i have the wonderful opportunity to spend a few days a week with her pal gavin he is the sweetest little boy and we are having a blast with him after the claustrophobia of being inside for a few days had set in i decided to brave two toddlers on a road trip we hit up a local favorite wheeler farm we have been here so many times ellie takes charge and navigates the route for us park time we unfortunately have very little yard for ellie to run around on so we tend to hit the park a lot we have a collection of favorite parks and rotate them almost daily ellie loves to swing like throw a massive fit when mom suggests it s time to get off kind of love she likes to explore all of the available swings and goes back and forth between the two for hours ellie is super adventurous and before she could even walk would find her way to the slides no matter the size by 21 months she is already starting to become bored with them eloise and gavin this and that ellie got hand foot and mouth disease the spots were generous enough to not limit themselves to these places however they were everywhere being the dramatic girl that she is every time she saw a spot so pretty much nonstop she would shout ow ee and sob made for a long week good news though taking her to the doctor we discovered that after only 21 short months our little munchkin has finally hit the 20 lb mark way to go ellie i painted my toenails one day while ellie was napping one of the first things she noticed when she woke up was mom s bright pink toes she was very determined to be just like mom and abruptly found her crayons to try to paint her own toenails too resourceful catch you this summer posted by the three wiseman at 5 31 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday april 1 2012 playing catch up so i m a little behind on the blog of course i m falling into the pattern of playing catching up and then posting massively long posts so i ll try to keep this one a little shorter valentine s day first up valentine s day we gathered the cousins together for a mini party we had pizza decorated cookies finger painted exchanged valentines and played a game eloise always has a blast with her cousins ellie turned 18 months hello nursery nursery is amazing i am almost as big of a fan as ellie she loves it the second the prayer is said in sacrament meeting she bolts for the door and heads straight to the nursery room hallelujah bowling with much urging on my end paul took his girls out for a night of bowling ellie was so perplexed and angry at the fact that she couldn t chase the ball down the lane after she pushed it needless to say she lasted about three frames before she got bored and we took over bowling most of her frames she did however find immense joy in dancing on the glowing tables to rihanna should i be concerned welcome spring eloise and i are both thrilled be to able to get outside and enjoy the spring weather we visit the park rather often and try to throw in some of our favorite spots from time to time to mix it up mom is discovering quickly that we are both much happier with each other when we get out of the house we even got to see a real game thanks to chris and jaime glauser wheeler farm finally caught up just in time for easter thanks for catching up with us posted by the three wiseman at 11 38 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday february 20 2012 january happenings when i think of january i usually think of a boring slow dreary month this year however i am wondering where january went we stayed so busy and with the weather being so mild it seemed to fly by here is what we ve been up to eloise is becoming more and more independent by the second she insists upon doing everything herself from feeding herself to getting dressed to drinking from a cup it has made for some fun temper tantrums bath time with dad is always an adventure he is the fun one mom is all business get in soap up rinse get out but paul always teaches ellie something new when he bathes her they blow bubbles with straws splash until all the water comes out put their face in the water until fully submerged sometimes they apparently don t feel the need to get undressed ellie and i went to see the new otter exhibit at the aquarium she loved it she would have followed them back and forth on the glass all afternoon as a promotional measure they were giving out free otter pops on the way out crazy mom here thought my oh so independent daughter could handle an otter pop by herself guess i was wrong ellie also took her first major spill this month we were on our way out to the car and she turfed it on the concrete i took her to the doctor but luckily no stitches needed they just glued her up and sent us on our way paul finished the bookshelf isn t it glorious he did a fantastic job and i am loving having it in our home ellie is also loving pulling out all the books
