Camping and Hiking at Fish Creek

Of course Ellia is carrying a rock Jeremy found and wanted to take homeAlthough not impressive in size, just look at that color! (Jeremy made me promise to post this picture)

Grilling hamburgers for dinner
What a night! Actually Ellia had her bast camping night yet. She sleeps between Jeremy and I, we just zip up the tent and let her crawl around until everyone falls asleep - she is usually last. When I woke up she had fallen asleep on my legs, but she slept all night without waking up, doesn't she look rested?

Our camp spot
This picture doesn't even come close to showing how dirty she got

Relaxing in the tent
Too tired to hike



Ventura Beach

Ellia now understands where hats go, she just hasn't figured out WHAT a hat is.

Camping at Big Meadow

It is truly just a BIG meadow - this doesn't do it justice. It seemed like it should have been a lake, and that's what Jeremy and I kept calling it by accident. We went up with our ward to help get it ready for the girls camp, (thanks Pam for letting us borrow your camera since we forgot ours!) I think our presence was appreciated, except in the middle of the night when Ellia woke up and screamed for twenty mintues!

All About Ellia

Eevil? Never.

First she took all her toys out of everything, Then she started putting her toys (and other things) back in everything (shoes in DVD drawer etc.), Now SHE gets in things like toys and DVD drawers!

Sooooo tired.

How she likes to "walk"

How she can walk

Family Trippin'

At this point so much has been going on and I feel so behind on posts that I sortof gave up. Then Jeremy suggested a way to organize our recent noteworthy acitivities and now I'm back.


So Jeremy's parents and brother and sister came to visit over her birthday and we went to the American Girl dolls store, and Angels Yankees game, Newport Beach, and then home to our pool. Here are some pics. Jeremy's sister Addie.
Like mother like daughter...always ready for a handout.





Her gift from our New York Trip.
Though she may look tired, she squirmed through the entire game.
