2 years ago and today

The day we brought Ellidy home! One day old. Love this baby pic of Ellidy! She was 4 weeks old.

2 YEARS OLD TODAY, HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY ELLIDY!

Various

I was getting ready to run kids the other day, and for some reason I just stopped and realized how fast they are growing up. I made them stop for a picture. They kept asking why I wanted a pic? One day they will realize that some times you just look at how blessed and wonderful you feel as a mom to have such great kids at any various moment!

We spotted this rainbow on the way to Lava the other day. I told Easton to get a pic of it. After he took it he said he thought he got it. I thought it was funny when I downloaded it, that he caught himself taking the pic without realizing it!

This was his zoomed in picture of the rainbow.

Grandma & Grandpa Rhodehouse Easter Egg Hunt

Every year Matt's parents have an Easter egg hunt for all the grandkids. They all love it. Lots of candy and some money in the eggs makes it so exciting for them. Easton is now one of the people that hides the eggs instead of searching for them, so he helped Ellidy out.

Iailey and Damon stop for a quick pic before going to see what treasures they found.

"2010" Pocatello Tourney Champs!

This was the 3rd time the Sun Devils had made it to the championship game, and they were determined to come home with the championship this time. The determination worked and they won the championship! It was so exciting for everyone!

Easton had some really great digs at first base throughout the whole tournament, of course the exciting plays I'm to busy watching and not taking pics.

Matt is such a great dad and coach with Easton. He does a great job of trying to teach him how to be a good sport. Easton thinks he is hard on him sometimes, but he is a very patient "DAD COACH" and I'm so thankful to him for that. You're a great coach to all the boys, good job and Congrats on the win Matt!

Sun Devils #1! Congratulations!

Solo Queen!

These are a bunch of pictures of Iailey doing her solo. They're not in the exact order of her dance. Her solo is to Somewhere Over The Rainbow, and it is the sweetest dance. She has worked so hard and Friday she competed in Logan. She looked so beautiful and performed it amazing. Some of the judges comments where: Super Cute! Great Smile! Perfect aimless focus-beautiful feeling, lovely and unique-left me wanting more! Beautiful, creative, very true authentic emotions! I've been so proud of all her effort she has put into it and it paid off! She won Queen! She was so excited, as was mom and me(tears started running down both our faces when they announced her as Queen, thank heaven she was down on the floor and couldn't see us or she would of made fun of us) we were so proud! She called her dad to let him know and he was ecstatic also, very proud dad! Baby girl you are so beautiful inside and out, We love you so much and are so proud of you! Congratulations! Keep up the good work!

This is her friend Masi that's a year younger than her. She also did a solo this year. They are so cute together. They are always giggling and hugging each other, while Masi's mom and I are having a nervous breakdown. We need to take some lessons from the girls on how to relax, I mean whose dancing in front of a huge audience, you would think us mom's as nervous as we get.

Iailey and Masi both took Queen for their age group, it was so exciting! What a great day!

She just had to blow her nose!

I was busy putting on my make-up when after a few minutes

I realized that it was really quiet. Anyone that has a toddler

knows that if it's quiet something's going on that shouldn't be.

I knew it could only be one thing in the bathroom, so I grabbed

the camera and walked around the corner and this is what I found.

As soon as I came around the corner she hurried and put the toilet paper

up to her nose, like she was blowing it. This had been the 3rd roll of toilet paper

wasted in only a couple of weeks, so she knew trouble was on it's way and played it off.

Amazing that she knows how to work me at such a young age.

I was in a hurry this day so she got to sit and play with it. She thought it was great.

Cute lil Cowgirl

Iailey got invited by her dance company to go and perform at the DNCFR party. They had a party to kick off the rodeo at the Holiday Inn and some of the DSDS girls went and danced. They all looked so cute as cowgirls and really rocked the country music.

Iailey rocking out.
