Deep in the Heart of TeXaS!

Texas seems so long ago now! We had a great time seeing our family and most importantly our new niece/cousin Eliana or baby Ellie! She is so scumptious. I wanted to eat her and steal her but I decided that eating a baby and kidnapping were both not good ideas.

.

Ok, there are a million pics. I am not even going to explain them or put them in any kinda logical order. These are for my mom mostly. She is obsessing to see them.

.

The sisters with Ellie. Girl Power - that's right!

The whole family!

Good-looking mom and dad! Oh yeah... and Ellie too!

Silly kids.

Princess Ellie - SoOoOoo CUTE!
Future farmer!?

Luke + James = BFF, haha!

James trying on his new cousins headbands. Daddy's not gonna like this one bit! But James is secure with his manhood.

Dallin was my hero. He is SO good with James. I think James had the most fun with him... sorry Auntie Allie. =)

James checking out Ellie - poo!

Allie took this and said "oh motherhood."

Yes, that was what I was thinking with Mr. Crabby-pants in my arms!

James LOVED the beach! He has NO fear in the waves.

Bye-bye Texas!

Elizabeth Smart

I just read an article online about the account Elizabeth Smart gave before a courtroom today in SLC.

Kind of wish I hadn't.

Horrifying.

The last paragraph of the article read as follows:

Smart's parents, Ed and Lois Smart, were on hand to hear the painful testimony. They have said they never pressed her for details about her ordeal. Smart leaves on a mission to France next month for the Church of Jesus-Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Her testimony will be used during Mitchell's federal competency hearing on Nov. 30. (people.com)

.

I kind of want to change it to:

Smart leaves on a mission to France next month for the Church of Jesus-Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Her testimony will... bring peace to so many.

.
That's the testimony I was thinking of.

You too, huh!? =)
.

She is one amazing girl.

And I might add such a prett girl.
