The Time is Coming Fast!

So it's official! We are moving to Holladay! I have to say that I am kind of excited to move! I think that I am ready for a new adventure and ready to start brand new (including being home all the time). I am sad to leave Provo because I have made SO many friends through our ward and school. I think it will be exiting (but scary) but I am ready for the challenge. I just can't believe that another chapter in our lives is about to close and another one is about to begin. I have loved having Jason home all the time and Elly and I are really going to have a hard time when he has to start working. That is going to be here before I know it. He starts August 5th and I am afraid he is going to be very busy. I guess I will just have to get over it :) Anyways here are some fun pictures from the last few weeks.

So Jason, Elly, and I were driving back from Salt Lake last week and we got stuck in a horrible rain storm. As we got closer to the point of the mountain, this beautiful rainbow appeared. I have never seen one this bright before! We tried to get a good picture, but this was as good as it got.

In our front room, we have basket that we put all of Elly's toys in. I guess you could say that it is kind of deep. Elly is always bound and determined (surprise surprise) to get the stinkin toys out of the bottom of the basket. She is just a little too short to reach to the bottom. She has fallen in more than once head first (you will see in that in pictures to come). In these two pictures, she fell in head first but managed to turn herself the correct way. I know that I shouldn't laugh, but I really can't help it because it is so FREAKIN funny! She is quite the little girl and I think that I definitely have met my match with her. HELP! :)

Elly in head first :)

Another week in the lives of the Alger's

So this past weekend, we went to Price and I was SO excited because I finally got my hair cut and colored again. Jenny (my sister) called it virgin hair because I had never had the whole thing colored before. Well this time I went big and no longer have virgin hair. Jenny did the bottom half of my hair a mocha color and then colored the top mocha and blond. I really like the way it turned out. Here is a picture of my hair (it looked better when Jenny styled it). *I took a picture with Elly because I hate taking pictures by myself.*

When we were hanging out in Price, we had a whole bunch of tissue paper and we thought Elly would have fun playing with all the paper. I don't think I have ever seen her so excited to play with all of that paper. It was pretty funny :)
The other day, I made the worst dinner ever and so Jason went to Little Caesar's and got a pizza because we just couldn't eat the other gross stuff. When Jason went to eat a piece, he pulled this massive sucker out. He said this is the biggest piece of pizza he has ever seen. I think he really enjoyed it.
When I was feeding Elly, she kept rubbing her eyes and got food all over her face. Of course she was still happy enough that she smiled for a picture.

Elly and I were shopping at Kohl's and I happened to look down at her and she was totally relaxed and enjoying herself (as you can tell in the picture). Here are pictures from both views.

Here is a video of Elly going crazy with the tissue paper.

My sisters thought it was hilarious to stick a little toy dolphin down Elly's shirt. I have to admit it was way funny. She really got into trying to find that dolphin.

The Month of May

So I can finally say I am a stay at home mom! I didn't think I would ever be able to say that. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED teaching, but right now I feel that it is my calling in life to be a stay at home mom. I have waited for this day all year long and now I am loving every minute of it (I might not say that in a month or so just kidding). Here are just a bunch of random pics that we took since Jason graduated. Oh yeah, through out the month of May, Jason got to be the stay at home dad and he did such a good job. Elly loves her daddy so much and it was such a good thing for him to spend one on one time with him. I don't think I could ask for a better husband :). Anyways here are some pics....

Elly playing with Aunt Alyssa. Elly tried Honey Nut Cherios for the first time and she REALLY liked them.

Here are two of my favorite people. In the purple we have Tracy and in the red we have Jami. I taught 2nd grade with them for the last two years. We seriously had so much fun together. We took a picture of us with our babies. (The baby that Tracy is holding is actually not hers. This baby belongs to another teacher at the school. Tracy is pregnant with her own and is due in December. We thought it would be fun to "pretend" this is hers.) At our school there have been 16 new additions or expecting mothers. We all got together and took a picture for the newspaper. It was fun to see all of the cute babies. I can't wait to see the rest. :)

Elly being goofy!

Hanging out on the counter in her BYU shirt.

Elly and Uncle Dyllan. Dyllan put a diaper on her head and she left on there. No it wasn't dirty :)

Jason doesn't like me to take pictures of him so I am lucky that I was able to take this one. haha

Apparently this is the face I give Jason when I am mad at him. I don't believe him...

Elly and Big Papa (aka my dad)

When I got home from school, Elly gave me the biggest hug ever. She hugged me long enough for Jason to take two pictures with his phone and get out my camera from my purse and take two more pictures. She is too funny :)
