I have got to be the most lame-o of us all!!!

Okay, why was that so hard for me to figure out?? I could not get gmail to let me open up an account. Ugggh....what a dumb head. And I thought I could figure out things like this. I'm pretty sure it was the system's fault, right??!! Anyway, this new email and password work even better. Thanks!! You cute little M&M's. I like that! I just want to eat you all up. Okay, maybe because I have been eating no sugar and now I want some. Yeah, you read it right, no sugar. Bummer, eh? It's okay, I'm trying to get rid of Elli's incubation insulation (or better known as belly fat). So Steve is doing it with me and we only eat sugar on date night - friday! We've stuck to it so far.....about 3 weeks. Wish me luck!!

Anyway, my parents left a few days ago and it was nice to have them here. They were here for the blessing, which turned out really nice. We decided not to have a party afterwards like Steve's family is accustomed to and they about crapped their pants. During the week before the blessing, his aunts called on random and different days asking what they could bring for the luncheon. I was like, "What luncheon?" They figured we were having them all over for a party afterwards like they do in their family. Nope. Not the Rexburg Johnston's!! :o) Anyway, We told them we weren't doing that and I think they were all a little surprised. So we just hung out with my parents and it was nice to have them here. So here are some pics of little Elli.

These 2 are in her blessing outfit. We didn't take any of all three of us (which I am sad about) because Steve had a meeting after church and didn't come home until after Elli had had enough and wanted out of that dress, into some jammies, and layed down for a nap. Anyway, my mom made the little blanket which I thought turned out pretty cute.

I'll just keep posting pics for you guys, so hang on for the ride.

So you know how babies like to be swaddled really tight with their arms secured inside the blanket?? Well, not this baby! She gets so mad when her arms are pinned down and wiggles her arms out of the swaddle and slips them up by her face. She must have done this in my belly and now likes it no other way.

This next pic is right before her bath one day. I guess she was pretty excited!!

And this pic is right after the bath. And if you can see my knee in the picture......no I'm not naked. I have shorts on that are coming up. But when I saw that I laughed because all you can see is my bare arm and my bare knee. Ooooohh......scandalous!!

Okay, so this pic has no story behind it or anything spectacular to say about it. I just think it's a cute one of her chillin' in her boppy.

Here's Elli hanging out with my mom and my dad in the background. Hey, do you guys remember all of those headbands that I sent you a picture of? Well that's one of them. Now that she's a bit older, I like putting these on her head. I might be going a little overboard, but hey, she's only 7 weeks once!! ;o)

Here's another headband. This was the week before at church....her first time there. She looks a little scrunched because she was wiggling in Steve's hands. And no, I don't normally put her in mini skirts!! The dress is just riding up. :o) hahahaha!!

Anyway, enough headbands and cutie girlie outfits and smiles!! I just can't get enough of Elli so I wanted you guys to see her too!! She is finally getting better from all the gas problems she was having. Momma's girl, eh?? Anyway, she still gets gassy but not nearly as bad. I think her digestive system is finally getting used to everything.

Hey Melissa - Thanks for fixing everything. Even after you sent that first email telling me how to sign up for an account, I still couldn't so it. Duh! Oh well. But thanks for your help.

Hey Katie....how is Bryson, by the way?? That infection sounds horrible. How did he get that? Are you sick at all?? And you want to know something funny? You know how no one wrote on the blog for a while? Well, I would come on to check and Paige's video was always at the top.......so I would watch it each time I checked and laughed EVERY TIME!! I have watched that video about 15 times. No joke!! What a cute girl she is!! Anyway......

Robin, that tummy must be poking a little but by now.....where's the pics?? :o) We're WAAAAAIIIIIITTTTIIINNNNGGGG!! :o)

Bob-o......where are you? I forwarded the email from Melissa to you. Did you get it? If not, email me and I'll send it again. And have you been in Rexburg lately? You better not without giving me a ring!! :o) hahaha!! Keep us posted!
