It's a wedding!

Back in December I got a call from Rebecca's 1st grade teacher.  She said that they were going to have a wedding between the letters Q and U.  This is how they teach the concept that Q always has to have U beside it.  (Kind of a lot of work to teach this simple concept, but it's cute and fun) Anyway, Miss Barker said that of all the girls in first grade, Rebecca was chosen to be the bride, representing letter Q.  So of course we had a lot of fun trying to find a dress ("It has to be a REAL wedding dress Mom!")  and veil.  After looking in many stores we finally borrowed a dress and veil and gloves from a friend.

Of course Becca was really cute as she walked down the isle.  (Also about 6 inches shorter than any of the other kids) 

Here is a video of the ceromony.  It was pretty cute, but surely they could have taught this concept in an easier way.



Super big sister

Elena loves her little brother.  She has gone from being the baby of the family to being the big girl.  Not only is she a big sister, but she is almost potty trained.  Yeah!  She loves to help with Michael and with housework and anything else she considers big.

Michaels blessing

Michael was blessed on March 13th. He was 2 1/2 months old. Grandma and Grandpa Ellingson came along with Aunt Anna and Uncle Travis. Jonathan gave him a very nice blessing and it was a very special day. We love our little Michael, he is normally so content and easy going. It's a lot of fun to see him interact with his older brothers and sisters.
