Fall is here.

Family Photo up millcreek canyon.
Elsie was more into the leaves then the pictures.
Shawn kept running back and forth setting the camera timer and stuff so elsie was just watching him.

She wanted to eat the leaves rather then play in them, funny girl.






She loves her daddy, we had a fun time playing up the canyon.




update

My last blog was from july... wow time for a quick update.
Shawn and I are back in school and keeping very busy. Elsie is growing up fast and learning so much, she now sits all on her own and rolls all over the house, she is starting to like food, sweet potatoes being her favorite so far.
These pictures went on backwards so maybe start at the end and work your way up for it to make more sense.
I got a new washer and drier :) very exciting.
Elsie in her new high chair eating sweet potatoe puffs

Laurens wedding.


The girls and duke



These little shoes made elsie tap dance.




General conference weekend, Mimi had fun reading to the babies.





Elsie loves to play with the remotes. it actually looks like she's watching tv.






I have a saturday class that is from 8am to 1pm, I have a hard time leaving Elsie and one day she cuddled and fell asleep before i left i LOVED it.
Todd's 19th birthday. He also got his call and will be serving his mission in New York New York North mission he leaves Dec. 2 we are all very excited for him.

Todd is the best Uncle the babies love him!

We went to cedar city for my friend Gordo's mission talk he is now is South Africa and will be serving in Uganda.

Elsie loved the hotel room she had so much fun in all those pillows.

we love to cuddle!

I love her hair she makes me laugh!

Watching Quentin open his presents. She got all dressed up for the party and had a blast!

Quentin's 1st Birthday.

At the zoo to see all the baby animals.


She loves splashing in the bath, she's not afraid to get a little water on her face.


Gotta love those blue eyes.


Elsie now sleeps in her crib and is always a happy baby when she wakes up.

Elsie's new hobbies

We thought we'd start out small, Elsie wasn't sure why we thought it was so much fun to sit in water outside... But by the end she loved it.
"you want me to sit in this bucket of water mom... why?"

"okay this is kind of fun"


"I need more room..."



All toasty warm in the blanket :)



Hiking donut falls. We made a video but I can't get it in the right format to load it on here.

Elsie loves hiking, especially if she can sit back and relax while dad does all the work.


She didn't like this part, mostly cause she was getting sleepy.

Mom's turn: mom was a bit more graceful while hiking...


... So Elsie got to sleep and slept the rest of the way down. Thanks Mi mi and poppy for the awesome backpack (Shawn got it for his birthday last year when Elsie was still "wiggly" and had 4 months before we got to meet her, way to go planning ahead )

4th of July

We are so lucky to live in a country where we have our freedom! It seems that some take advantage of this freedom we all enjoy lets all hope they don't take it away from us!!!


We had a wonderful 4th starting out early with a ward breakfast then haning out with the family. We did lots of walking and i'm so glad Elsie has learned to sit back and enjoy the ride.
The gang heading to sugar house park for some good old fireworks.

Shawn bought Elsie a glowing flower, she loved it. She reached out and grabbed it and as you can see thought it was super yummy!


My red white and blue baby, just chillin. As long as she's got that thumb she's pretty much happy anywhere.



Red white and blue family, yay a fun day at the park! By far one of the BEST 4th of July's i can ever remember. Elsie made it a million times more exciting. We are so lucky to have her to make our happy couple a Happy FAMILY :)
