HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ellie!!! Double digits! AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVE!!!

Ellie is now officially in the DOUBLE DIGITS! NO WAY!!! How did this happen to my baby girl? We all had to go to Youth Conference this weekend, on Ellie's birthday. We were so sad and felt so bad leaving her home! So after school on Thursday Lindsey, Katie and I surprised Ellie and took her to get her ears pierced. Something she has been begging for for 2 years. :) She loved it! Then she got to hang out with her cousins all weekend while we were gone. She LOVED it. Brynne even planned a surprise birthday party for her with Savannah, Anna and Tom.

Ellie got to take donuts to her class on Friday and tell about her "all about me" poster. It was cute! Then this morning, Sunday, she got to open her presents and then tonight we had the family over for dessert for her and Dave's birthdays! :) It was lots of fun.









Lindsey and Katie, Dave and I had a great time at youth conference this weekend at Heber Valley Camp. It was a wonderful spiritual feast! :)

Then tonight our ward kicked off missionary month by a great youth fireside where Lindsey and Katie got their mission calls and are wearing Sunday clothes, their name tags, and carrying their scriptures to school every Wednesday. Have to go on a media fast for a week, go to bed at 10 adn wake up at 6. They got their calls to Lindon Peru and Lindon Taiwan and got these cute badges. I had to take a picture. I would love to see them someday with real ones on! :)
