Rebecca’s Blog Report…I need to do this more!
December 7, 2008 by RebeccaElledge.com
A lot of things have changed since my last blog report. Spencer made the soccer team and is goalie for BVNW. Their record is 2-1, they lost last night to a very tough Blue Valley North team. Braelyn is officially crawling, is able to go from lying down to sitting up and has a tooth! It’s amazing what a weekend will do to a 8 1/2 month old.
Ryan is busy at work. He has a board meeting on Wednesday, so he will be working late tonight on his presentation. We are getting ready for two big events. Our 3rd Annual Elledge Spook-tacular Halloween Bash and a trip to Maui. I can’t wait for either one of them, but I am truly ready for our vacation. It will be nice to get away from work for a week. I will miss the kids a lot, but I know they will enjoy spending time with the grandparents. Braelyn is going to Grandma Vickie and Grandpa Steve’s while Spencer is spending time with my mom and dad. I know both kids will be, what do you call it…oh yeah, SPOILED. But it will be worth it, the kids don’t get to spend a lot of time with the grandparents.
I am trying very hard to get in shape before the trip. I’ve lost 6 pounds, just need to lose 6 more. I’m hitting the gym at least once, but sometimes twice a day. I am going running with the girls here at work over lunch. I need to cut down on eating too, didn’t do so great this weekend. Ryan and I drove through Backyard Burger on Saturday…I love Backyard Burger…they have waffle fries

Well need to go…till later!

Good to see a blog from you again. Enjoy them. I need to talk to your mother and the Pug sisters – I only get the 1 foot! I’m envious of your extra .5!

Standing Alone
November 27, 2008 by Braelyn
Today, Saturday, November 22, 2008, I stood unassisted for the first time! While playing with Holly, who loves to babysit me sometimes, I stood for about 15 seconds before I realized nobody was holding me. By the time my daddy got his video camera, I tried again but only lasted a few seconds. It’s so fun to do things when daddy doesn’t have the camera with him! It’s also hard to find those times, since it’s always nearby. But mommy, daddy, Holly and her fiance Steve all saw me! I’m growing up so fast!
Have not been here for awhile

I guess I have not made a post in a while. Steve seems to keep updated here as well as does Stephanie and Courtney occasionally. Hey Court.. I miss you guys. I was sad when I did not get to go down there last week. I will be there soon.. Promise. Ryan updates his page daily or so. Guess it is my turn tonight.
Congrats to Mike. He has been at Wyoming Machinery a year already. Had his one year evaluation today and it seems he has done a good job for his employer this last year. He seems to like it there really well.
Dad went to the doctor today, a few changes made there.. He is no longer taking one of the meds they put him on a while back. He seemed to be dizzy and unsure on his feet, so they took him off for at least trial basis of another few weeks. He allowed me to bring the Christmas Village to our house this year and we are really enjoying having it here. Such a beautiful collection, such a beautiful reminder of mom and how much she loved this time of the year.. I know I still miss her greatly.
One of the ladies in my Bible study today issued a challenge to all of us in our class. It was an interesting one… She told us of this study she is doing called fasting from negativity. We were all challenged to the next 40 days to have positive thoughts, make positive statements, nothing negative. Have you ever realized how hurtful being negative can be? I am accepting her challenge for myself. Most of the time I know I say something negative without even thinking about it.. I think as parents, positive statements made to our children and grandchildren instead of cutting them down or being negative about what is going on certainly would be a way to up their self esteem. To my friends and family, my early Christmas gift to each of you is for me to be positive in everything I think and say… to make an effort to lift you up instead of being negative. Hope you all will try it also.
Well on a positive note… Good night, love you all, and have a great night…

Happy 20th Anniversary
October 16, 2008 by Vickie Elledge
Wow Congratulations to Wendy and Tony. It seems impossible to think you have been married 20 years. God bless you both. We all love you and wish you at least 20 more.
We have had our fall snow and the temperature is rising so the snow has melted away. I am glad. We are going to Colorado tomorrow afternoon and hopefully will get to witness a football game with Mr. Keegan’s so far undefeated team. Then it is off to the airport for a trip to Maui to be the Nanny for Braelyn while R&R have a much needed vacation. Have I told you ever that being a grandma is one of the best jobs I have ever had. I have the greatest grandkids in the world and that is because I have the greatest kids as their parents.. and we love you all. Huh Steve?
Brandon has finally gotten over what ever crud he has been fighting. Mike has been ill also. I am praying that no one else gets this stuff. It has been wicked.
Well I am off to the health club for a work out this morning and then finish up the packing etc before the trip. Have a great day.

Happy Birthday Ashley. Went to the dept of transport and she passed to get her learners permit and I mean learner. She talked me into letting her drive home from school to her house….. Well lets just say she has a LOT of learning to do. We made it home ok, but believe me the girl needs drivers training. She thinks her driving lane is the parking lane nearest the sidewalk.
Stevie has a foot ball game here in a few minutes. He likes that football. It is still wonderfully warm so going is fun. I have never been a cold weather sport observer if I did not have to be.
Brandon spent the week-end in Fort Collins. He enjoyed seeing family and friends. He pulled a bone head move though. Went over to his old place of employment and they made him a very lucerative offer to quit school and come back. I told him next time he goes home, invite his friends to sonic for dinner and stay away from the pressure. (hope this time he listens to me).
Had a brief visit with Braelyn on the web cam last night. Seems she is crawling pretty well and has a tooth though. Check out Hoovers videos of the young lady. Pretty good. Spencer’s soccer team is also doing well. Good job Goalie.
Not much news from Colorado. Keegans team won their football game when Brandon was home. Courtney’s school softball team is doing pretty well and Nate’s senior pictures area awesome.
We are back into Bible study full swing. I have a new group of ladies and I think it is going to be really fun. They are very interesting and all very eager to learn more. Our community group is doing well also. So I guess summer is over, fall is here and before long the holidays will be upon us. Oh yes, we must celebrate Steve’s next birthday soon. I catch up with him for a few weeks each year.
Bye for now. Love you all and God Bless
