Welcome Home Elder Ellsworth

We are enjoying the last of summer before fall comes to Colorado. The best part is that Bobby is doing a rotation at the Air Force Academy this month so he's close by.

We've gone to the lake a couple of times - 

Troy wasn't a fan of the life jacket, but the boat rocks him right to sleep.

This day at the lake was the first time all 10 members of the family have been together!

Troy also had his first experience at the pool - he thought a lot about it.

Troy does something new pretty much every day. This past week was his first (real belly) laugh, and the first time he rolled without any help! (Video below)

I haven't blogged about Michael coming home from his mission in Costa Rica yet - it is so fun having him home!

Some shots of Ky's decorating of the Welcome Home Banner -

He had his Homecoming talk last Sunday and did such a good job. My grandparents and Aunt Jeni and the twins came out to see him.

And one day here it looked as if the sky was a backdrop!

We're still living in my parent's basement - 

But the house is coming along! The casita on the right of the picture will hopefully be our home on October 1!

And now for my favorite video in the world -
