Beau-tif-Elle

One of our great friends sent us an adorable dress (more than one, but she can only wear one at a time!). Elle looks SO cute in it; she has worn it several times in the last two weeks. Here. See for yourself:

We have another dear friend who teaches school with Ted. She made Elle a hat that is an apple. It's a perfect teacher hat, and it is SO cute on her:

I wish you could see the stem and leaves better, but they're there. I know it doesn't really match the red on her outfit, either, but we have to keep the wind out! Elle and I are going on walks every day. I'd say we're out on the road for at least an hour each day. Elle LOVES going out. We never hear a fuss when she is being buckled in the car seat or the stroller, because she knows that means she is going somewhere. The walks always put her to sleep--even if she has just woken up.
It has really been warming up around here, but she has this adorable sweater with matching headband. The first day it was cold enough to justify a sweater we had it on her:

She wears it with the cutest little pair of jeans. Wait. Isn't everything the cutest on Elle? YES!!!

Easter Sunday

To make Easter Sunday particularly meaningful, we drove out to Tooele to see Grandma-Great. Elle was able to meet a few more cousins and Uncle John! She also was able to see Grandpa Workman's headstone.
FYI, Elle travels GREAT. She is super chill in the car. When she starts to be a bit fussy we just start singing to her and she calms right down. She also does great meeting new people. She got downright excited (flailing her arms and legs with a huge smile) meeting cousin Colette at Aunt Judy's. Sadly, we don't have a picture of how cute that was.
Here is what our trip looked like:

 Since it was Easter Sunday, we simply need to say that we know we will indeed be with dad/grandpa Workman forever and we are thankful for Jesus Christ who makes this possible. We love them both.

It's worth a post...even though it's not Elle

So the other day Elle and I had to go spend the day at Ted's school. He was asked to join in the faculty band for the school talent show. The gal in charge of the band went a little crazy trying to get him into character. The pictures will prove it.
The best part is that Ted is always this FUN!!! In his defense, he was really out of his comfort zone running around like this. I just have to show you how hilarious this was!

Yep. That was a Choose The Right shirt. Pretty classic

Seeing that in public was TOTALLY worth spending 8 hours at a school with a baby--away from the convenience of home!

And We're Back!

Sorry about the long-time-no-post business. It's been a busy time at our house! As Ted puts it, I'm about to "post pictures like crazy". Some will speak for themselves. Some I might decide to explain. We'll see as we go!

Elle is getting much better about smiling on cue!

While my pictures are trying to be found I will tell you a bit about our adventures of late. Elle has had many firsts recently. Last week, she met many of her non-familial aunts (old college roommates, etc) for the first time. As several of them live FAR away (Boston, for example!) it was great that this was able to happen so early in her life; we thought it might take a while. She also met Aunt Marnie, Aunt Lindsay, Uncle Dan, Uncle Mike and Uncle Dallin for the first time. She met seven cousins, who live in St. George, and she watched her Semi-Annual general conference, where she listened to prophets of God for the first time!
Here she is shaking hands with Bethany Robison, the cousin she is closest to in age.

Although it wasn't a "first" to see Grandma Workman, it was her first time at Grandma's house. We are grateful Grandma has a place for us to stay! We were lucky enough to be there at the same time as Uncle Mike and Aunt Lindsay. Elle had tons of fun being around so many playmates!

Elle witnessed her third baby blessing when cousin Carter was blessed, which was right after cousin Harrison's baptism--her first opportunity to see one of those! Here are four pictures of Elle with Harrison. They're all similar, but really. How am I supposed to choose which ONE is the cutest? Not in the job description people.

Today is Elle's first Easter and she also had her first Stake Conference, instead of regular church. We'll snap pics of her Easter dress soon.
Elle has been spending lots of time on the BYU campus lately, where she cheers loudly for the cougars! Her favorites are the baseball games, but she likes the volleyball matches a lot because that is where she really gets to interact with Cosmo Cougar. She tries to wear her "First Cougars Tee" to all of the events, but sometimes a girl has to do laundry, you know! Anyway, thanks Aunt Trish, cousins Sabrina and Halle for the shirt to wear to the games!

We hope you enjoyed all these pics and are looking forward to more!
