Waiting patiently to open more gifts!

We had such a wonderful Christmas! It was just mellow and relaxed. We hung out with family and enjoyed every minute of it. Oliver and Elle got completely spoiled and had fun hanging out with their cousins. We feel so blessed with all that we have in our little family, our health, happiness and each other. We love our little kiddos so much!

Christmas Eve

Oliver and Elle in their Christmas Pjs.

Oliver loved opening two gifts early, he opened his Pjs and slippers!

Oliver looking spiffy in his new Pjs and Toy Story slippers.

He totally looks like a little old man!
Oliver was so excited for Santa to come. Every time I asked him what Santa was
going to bring him he just said a big toy, I thought it was funny that it was nothing specific.

Meatball

This is the newest addition to our Family....Meatball!!

She is a four year old French Bulldog and we are so excited to have her in our family!

Oliver loves his new Friend.

Elle's blessing day!

We Blessed Elle on December 6th, 2009. It was great! After her Blessing everyone came over for lunch, it was a little crowed but we had a good time celebrating Elle's arrival!

Wow I can't believe how fast the months fly by! November was a very good and busy month.

Every month seems to go by faster and faster! But we are so grateful for all that we have and love our little family so much and just enjoy spending time together. We are so excited for this Christmas season with our new little addition. Oliver is getting so big and he is such a good little boy, he helps me so much and loves Elle. Elle is just the sweetest little girl and is full of smiles. They both bring so much happiness into our lives! And we are so grateful for them!

Elle's Baby Shower

My Mom and all of my Sisters threw Elle a Baby shower on November 21st.

It was so much fun! Its always great to see family and good friends, it was so nice to

catch up with everyone!

Me opening gifts, she got a ton of great stuff!

Tons of clothes which I am so excited about, it is so fun dressing her!

This is her Blessing dress, my wonderful Mom made it!

You can't see it in the picture but she smocked the top and hand beaded the top and the

entire bottom of the dress and bonnet! It is so Beautiful, can't wait to bless her in it!
It is so pretty...thanks Mom!

Me, my Mom and Elle

Mother and Daughter
We just love her so much!

Thank you so much for a Wonderful shower everyone, we love you all!

Disneyland

All of us Pooh's Corner.

The Pooh ride was just about the only

ride Oliver was afraid of.

Oliver with Goofy (he calls him goopy). I was so surprised he ran up

and gave him a big hug! I thought he might be afraid but he wasn't!

Elle sleeping in the stroller, she was really good

the whole time we were there.
Josh took Ollie on the Tea Cups and he loved it at first and then on the second
ride he start to feel a little sick! But he kept telling Josh "Yeah Dad rock and roll"
You can't really tell in this picture but it was "snowing" It was really cool it really did look like snow!

This was Elle first trip to Disney. Ollie has been before but I think he will enjoy it a lot more now that he is older...we are looking forward to a year full of fun at Disneyland!

Our 1st Sunday

Oliver and Elle ready for church....I love Ollie's face...he is such an awesome Big Brother!

Holding little sister

Too Sweet!

Halloween 2009

Oliver the Vampirate and Elle, I know it is her first Halloween and we didn't dress her up, not because I am a bad mother but she had a cold and we just kept her in the sling all bundled up so there was no point to have her dressed up...I know I still felt bad.

Oh and yes this is our little Vampirate, that is what he called his costume, not vampire. Isn't he the cutest Vampire Ever!! He loved having his hair painted black and having scary make-up on!

All of the cousins (except Payson and Elle) ready to Trick or Treat!!!

Ready to go to our Ward Trunk or Treat Party. We had so much fun. I guess the kids thought Ollie was pretty scaring because we tried to have them stand together to take a picture and none of the little girls wanted to stand by him or talk to him, it probably didn't help that Josh taught him to say "I want to suck your blood!"

Me and Ollie carving his pumpkin, I had to take out all of the insides because he didn't like the way it felt!

The finished product! This is his "say cheese" face...isn't it lovely!

Elle Coming Home

Elle already to go home! We were so glad that she got better so quickly and was able to come home with us on Sunday. Snuggled in her carseat with her blanket and doll.

Elle with her Daddy, he just adores her!

In her new beanie, Josh said she looked like an old lady! It the only way to tell that she is a girl!

Elle Bree Sattley

Elle joined our Family on October 9, 2009 at 8:15 am.

She was 7lbs. 13oz. and 18 1/2 in.

She is healthy and happy.

Here are few of her first pictures

Proud Daddy and Brother with their little girl!

So Excited

Mom and her little girl! We just love her to pieces!

Everything went really well and we are glad that we finally have our little girl with us. She did have to be in a Bili bed the first night and second day unless she was being fed. She has A positive blood and I have O positive and so that cause a little bit of an issue but all is well now and we are all home together as a happy little family. We are so grateful that everything went well and we feel so blessed.
