Ellis Family Photo Day

Thanks Mom for a great family photo shoot!  
We can't expect perfection but we did pretty good. 

Brad is working on a fun project at work and is enjoying being in the mountains this fall with his family..camping,having picknics, riding on the 4-wheeler/motercycle, and just going for a drive.  
Nicki is busy at home and with YW at church.  She is happy to be spending lots of time enjoying the fall weather and her family while they are all small!

Jaron is almost 9!  He has enjoyed a great season of soccer this fall.  He was the star of his team making several goals each game and leading his team in assists and energy.  He is now excited to be in wrestling again.  He is AWSOME!  His coach has asked him to make a wrestling demo video for use at the Viewmont and Bountiful HS Little Wrestling programs.  Jaron had wonderful grades this first term.  He loves school.  He enjoys reading FUNNY books and doing art projects. 

Dominick is on fire with reading.  He will read just about anything but loves fantacy/adventure books the best.  Some of his favorites this year have been The Book of Mormon, The Hobbit, How to Train Your Dragon series, Choke, and Artemis Fowel.  He had a great first season of Lacrosse this fall and is excited to have finally found his perfect sport.  He was voted the most improved player by his team after coming into it not knowing the rules and leaving as one of their top attack man.  His teacher said he is the perfect child to have first since he will be an excellent example to the other children and we TOTALLY agree.  He is very responsible and always done with his jobs first at home.

Laurana is full of her usually energy and excitement.  She is  hard worker and loves to get her jobs done fast so she can call friends to play.  She LOVES to read books, play with barbies, and ride her bike.  Her eyes sparkle and her smile shines with her spunk and personality.  She is our little miss enchanting.  She takes good care of her sisters and loves to play with her brothers.

Megan is loving school.  I think her favorite part is getting to decide what to wear everyday.  She loves putting together her own outfits and hair style.  She says her favorite part of school is science (they do some great experiments).  Megan is very organized and is excited to have her own room this fall.  She loves to play with her sisters and friends.  She also LOVES to cook and is a great helper to her mom.

Hudson is excited about math at school and just tested at a half way through 3rd grade level (he's in 2nd grade).  He is happy playing basket ball at is a great little player.  He dribbles and shoots VERY well.  He is one of the best guys in his group and he is also the smallest.  Hudson has a very good memory and is always keeping everyone honest.  He loves imagination play and always has some game going in his mind.  He loves to tell stories and we love hearing the stories of his day!

 

Sonja has the happiest little smile and is a HUGE teaser!  She loves music.  She can often be found dancing or singing songs to her self.  There is nothing better than when others join in her fun.  She thinks she is big and she is...she is always keeping up with everyone else.  She loves baby dolls and strollers, and LOVES to read books with her sisters .
