Joe, Aubrey, and Jayden Apple were our first visitors to come experience the Bangerter Disney Magic! They were such good sports as we were trying to figure out all of our wonderful Disney perks that we have. Sometimes we get blocked out of certain parks at certain times. So we couldn't go into Magic Kingdom. That didn't stop us from having fun though. We enjoyed Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios. Andrew and Joe even went on Tower of Terror four times in a row. It was so much fun to have them here with us. Ellie loved watching Jayden and we can't wait till she is a little older and can actually play with other kids. She is so close to crawling! We just sit and stare at her sometimes so we won't miss that first time she pushes up and starts going.
On Sunday we headed to see Andrew's other cousin Will and his wife Jessica and daughter Avery. He gave us a fun personal tour of what he does everyday on the Church's Ranch. The Church owns about 40,000(can't remember the exact number) acres that they raise citrus and cattle on. We even saw our first alligator. I was a a little disappointed that it was in the water and only looked to be about four feet. I'm ready to see a big one soon....but inside my car where I can runaway fast. :) I actually learned that your suppose to run in big zigzags to get away from an alligator. They supposedly can't keep up with you and will just give up. Got to love all the random things I have learned since moving to Florida. Don't get me started on the King Cobra that went missing just a a few weeks ago!
We were trying to get a picture of all the kids together. Ellie hasn't mastered sitting up on her own quite yet so Andrew had this idea to go under the blanket and hold her up....The next picture explains what happened.
Ellie hasn't fully realized she basically lives at Disney World. She sleeps most of the time and enjoys her own personal fan on her the whole time.

Ellie's Baby Blessing
When Ellie was born we knew we would be having the Bangerter Family Reunion in June so we pushed her baby blessing back so that the majority of both our families could be there. It was also very sweet have it at my house where I grew up. It is very surreal taking your child to the place where you were once a child and have so many memories.
Andrew gave Ellie a super sweet blessing. It was so special to hear him bless her and then look around the room of all the people that support her. Afterwards we took some pictures and then my Dad asked that Andrew & I share our testimonies. Andrew was holding Ellie and when I was bearing my testimony Ellie just started laughing. She had just barely learned how to laugh a few days earlier but this was the first time no one was even trying to make her laugh. It was a really sweet moment!
It was a special day that we will hold close to our heart. Thanks to both of her Grandmas for providing the beautiful outfit. Ellie wore my blessing dress all day then changed into one that Mom Bangerter had and had she added lace to it. She also wore my blessing shoes, had a sweet bracelet from my mom, and her headband was made from a flower from my wedding dress. She just looked adorable and so grown up!
