For Grandpa Great

This is Ellie sleeping a few nights ago. This is Ellie's favorite hat. She calls it her 'sleeping hat' and she won't go to bed without it under any circumstances. Grandpa Great (Rob's Grandpa) made it for her and I'm assuming it was meant for playing outside in the snow but she hauls it all over the house every day and it goes right on her head as soon as her jammies are on. I cannot even begin to tell you how much she loves it. Thanks Grandpa Great!

The Lazy Post

I wanted to share a great post titled Refining Possibilities from one of my favorite blogs called Small Notebook. She has inspired me to make my own list of what tasks, plans, projects, and goals to keep and which ones to drop. I don't know if anyone else does this but in my head I have all these big plans and lofty goals for what I want to do and make and be (for proof see this post which is only a fraction of the actual list of stuff I want to do). I'm re-prioritizing my time and my list.
I'm looking forward to clearing my head and my bookmarks :)

Cheetos,The Animal, and Other Quotes

One of Ellie's awesome outfits

At Grandma Great's right before bed time

Ellie: I better not eat any more Cheetos or I'll Cheeto the bed.
I literally laughed until I cried. Tears streaming down my cheeks.

After eating pancakes for breakfast
Ellie: Mom, I got pancake juice on my hand but it's okay I licked it off and it was yummy!

Ellie: What day is it, Mom? Is it Sunday or Foursday?
Me: It's Tuesday.
Ellie: Oh! It's Tuesday!

Reading her Book of Mormon to me before bed
Ellie: And Jesus was nice to everybody and Nephi had to build a ship and Laman and The Animal (Lemuel) didn't want to help...
