Crazy Pills.

So i'm taking this Pill. The other day I noticed myself acting a little crazy. So I googled the name of my pill and up popped this... "Clomiphene citrate sometimes referred to as 'the crazy pill' ".  I continued reading on about all the testimonials of my pill and how crazy it makes the women of our day. But a lady has to do, what a lady has to do! Which translates to, 'a man has to deal with, what a  man has to deal with!' .....poor husbands. They had no idea what they were getting into when they married their seemingly care free wife....So I take that little pill, which gives me this----->

Which makes me thankful for this....

Because he's stuck with me for all Eternity! I bet you've never heard that in testimony meeting, "I'm thankful for my Eternal Marriage because then when I start taking 'crazy pills' he can't kick me to the curb." Nope never heard that one. So sweet Mitchell, here is to 4 years of happiness, learning, and increased patience! Thanks for Loving me through it all! Happy Anniversary June 15!

Sunday Dinners

Sunday dinners at Mom's house are always great. They are full of witty banter, kids running everywhere, and of course roast, potatoes, gravy and Rhodes rolls. We especially LOVE it when summer comes because we can ride the wiggle cars down the hill! Grandma (mom) was especially awesome because she whipped out her latest toy, an AIR BOOSTED POWER ROCKET! Awesome!

I love this picture because all the Grandkids look like they are ready to jump with Grandpa! You can see the anticipation!

With all the kids yelling "Great Grandma! Great Grandma" Our 86 year old Grandma/Great Grandma couldn't resist. She took her turn to shoot the rocket off!

Ellie LOVES babies. Every time she sees one she has to hold it! She cracks me up! We are lucky that poor Kendal is so patient with her pesky cousin!

My mom is the head secretary at an Elementary school. For field day all the kids got to throw balls at this 'creation'. Here the girls are trying to look as mean as Grandma does. I think my siblings and I are the only ones who have ever really seen that face...

Ellie does not like roast very much so she went outside, found an ant pile, and decided to see how they tasted. Luckily, she only ate one before her cousins went and told on her! :)

We Love Summer!

Going Private :(

Well, I'm starting to get a little nervous posting pictures of my sweet little girl for everyone to see. So I'm going private. I LOVE keeping up on people's lives through blogs so please either email me your email address, or make a comment and leave it there. Even if we are distant friends and you just like to 'check in' every once in a while LEAVE YOUR EMAIL! I'm mostly concerned about foreigners viewing the blog. Thanks! Love you all! Email me @ ksdorius@gmail.com, or just leave it on the 'comment'

My Right Hand Girl

Ellie is one busy girl these days. She is my right hand girl! Everywhere I go, she goes. If i'm in the kitchen cooking, she's cooking. If i'm pulling clothes out of a drawer, she's pulling ALL the clothes out of the drawers. Finally, as you can see below, if i'm putting on make-up, she's usually pretending to put on make up, except somehow she snuck out my mascara and went to work. Except the second I finished scrubbing it off her face, I went over the sink to rinse my hands and before I knew it she was 'swirling' hers in the toilet. I know, nasty. But looking back now all I can do is laugh. I love my little girl.

The mark on her forehead happened earlier in the day when she was riding a little bike at Grandma Sherrills and ended up falling onto Lava Rock. Crazy Ellie.

Victorious, Mitch Dorius!

I have to give a shout out to my awesome husband! Mitch's company had a contest last month. The Top inside sells rep for the month of April would win an IPad! Mitch buckled down and went to work! Needless to say, he did it! We are the proud owners of the newest IPad! Great Job Mitchell!

Day 2- IRONMAN

It does not take much to get me to a big racing event. I LOVE racing day. It's even better if all I have to do is cheer and enjoy the competitive atmosphere. The vendors, the people watching, and of coarse the athletes! Ali is one tough cookie for completing the Ironman. You really can't help but tear up when you see these guys finishing this thing. She started the race at 7 in the morning and finished at 8:01 at night. For those who don't know an Ironman consists of 2.6 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, and a full Marathon 26.2 miles. In other words....Insane. While we were waiting for Ali to come transistion from the bike to the run we spent our time hanging out at the city square. Naturally, Ellie had a great time playing in the water.

Way to go Ali!

St. George Trip Part 1

Mitch and I took a much needed vacation to St. George last weekend. Our reason for vacation for getting away was two fold, 1)Go to the pool and get some rays and 2) Watch my former track teammate Ali T. complete an IRONMAN. Everday was 88 degrees so we spent our time in the pools, rivers, streams or fountains!

The first day we were there we went on an awesome hike up Red Cliffs Canyon. As you can see everywhere we went Ellie did too! She was a trooper!
The red cliffs hike was such a blast. Mitch could waid through most of it with his super long legs, but it was a little too deep for my legs, so I took the dry route! At the top we put my swimsuit top on Ellie and she splashed her way through the water! What a trooper!

After dinner that night Mitch took Ellie on a hike that overlooks St. George, he called itt he buttcrack because of this thin crack you are supposed to squeeze through. Needless to say, I didn't attempt it! But the view was beautiful!
