On Saturday my mom and I did a little bit more shopping. We first went to a few Goodwills. They had everything 50% off, and that's a great time to look for practically brand new baby clothes, especially since they were half the regular cost! We found some great buys for Ellie when she's a bit bigger. :) Kurt took my Dad to Bass Pro Shop. It's a really cool huge outdoor store. It reminds me of Cabella's, but it's much larger. It's always interesting looking around there.
In the evening we went to IKEA. My parents had never been there before, so Kurt and I were excited to show them around. It's a giant home furnishing store, with tons of displays everywhere. If you're looking for kitchen designs, they have kitchen after kitchen of ideas set up. All of the items in each room has a price and the item # for you to write down if you want to pick it up downstairs. We had so much fun exploring, and definitely got our exercising quota in for the day! Ha.
While we were there I held Ellie. Of course she didn't complain about that, and had plenty of smiles to go around!
After IKEA, although we were all pretty worn out, we headed to the batting cages one last time. We had so much fun hitting!
Sunday was a special day! It was Easter. It also was the day we blessed Ellie. It was a great opportunity to spend with family and to reflect on the Savior. Since it wasn't our fast Sunday, our bishop had us bless Ellie at home. It was a neat little experience to have in our place with the bishop, my parents and our family of three. Also, since we did the blessing at home, Ellie had two little dresses she wore that day (one at church, and one for the blessing). Here are some pictures.

Here are two pictures after the blessing.
Also, while my dad was here, he was kind enough to take some family pictures of us. Although the sun was fading fast, we got some good ones! (Note: I did all the editing myself.)

| Ellie was a little tired, but was patient with us! |

| LOVE Kurt's smile! |
 |
| LOVE Ellie's face! |
 |
| One Dad was just playing with, but I liked it. |
 |
| He was just setting up and testing, but I love Ellie's expression. |
Here were a few snapshots we caught on my mom's phone.

| Thought it was funny that we were both staring at Ellie. |

We had such a fun time having them here with us, and were sad to drop them off at the airport on Monday! It was a great break with them.
