Halloween Fun

So I have never been much for Halloween, but this year has been so fun, I'm beginning to love it!

Crayola Crayons Won the Prize!

I sent CalDon some pictures of the night, and this was his response:  love you mak and i love your costumes 209384570293875092387509238475092364059623409578203945702934875092837 points for creativity

 Then the Ellis household had a fabulous Halloween themed party. This was my appetizer...witch brooms.

Our costumes: Batman, Little Red Riding Hood, and Daisy.

Living the dream and loving life! It is just so exhausting to have this much fun!

Week of birthday fun!

Happy 50th to my dad!

The biggest birthday card ever from my cousins and an awesome coat hook. 

Happy 22 to sweet BriAnne!

The cutest birthday cupcakes ever!

A secret garden surprise!

One of the best birthdays ever!! It has been so fun to spend time with people I love! The journey is so sweet!

Summer of Memories

This summer has definitely been a summer for memories!

BriAnne and Jordan's Wedding!


Celebrating birthdays in style:

Enjoying some time on the lake! I have loved skurfing, wakeboarding, and saloming! And we even put the jeep to good use for the paddle boards. 

Watching the babies learn to walk and now run!

Loving the summer flowers!

Dad's beard for the summer:

Moved to a new apartment yet again!

I am even getting a bit handy around the house and setting up a dryer vent is a new skill. 

Redoing Liesl's room!

It's pinkalicious!!!

Life is good and the journey is different but wonderful!

CalDon is off to the MTC, one stop before Peru!

CalDon started his mission off with doing family history
work. He did Bruno's (Betty's Dad) temple work. Betty was
 able to finally be sealed to her parents.

On the road to the good dinner.

The Eatoughs had a little too much fun sending CalDon off in style...

A little Texas Roadhouse love...

Good bye hugs!

So lucky to be so loved!

It's hard to get a good picture of this one...

But finally we got one! I am so proud of CalDOn,
but I am sure going to miss him.

A Break to Zion's & Bryce National Parks

One last trip before CalDon goes MIA for 2 years to serve the people of Peru.

All in all it was a pretty fun trip minus 2 burned fingers.
