Been a while

Well let's see a lot has happend since my last post.
Shawn and I are both in school, just working hard to get things done. We have moved into my parents house while we are on the hunt for a house. Wish us luck!
Quentin and Natalie are also living with my parents so it's a full house. But the little ones love hanging out together and do pretty much everything the other one does.

Elsie loved going into the garden this summer and picking the tomatoes and strawberries, they taste the best freshly picked and when she would have too many to eat, she would share with me. Thoughtful little girl.

She is a funny girl always in a pose.

If the kids are missing this is where we would find them, reading eachothers books and hanging out. They love books and I love that!

Elsie is such a happy baby and such a joy to be around.

She has also be come quit the basketball player.


She loves to be like Quen, he started this and she does it all the time.

Elsie had a pretty good fall while walking on the sidewalk, poor little face.

She loves dogs, especially ones that will let her ly on them like Ali and maggie pretty sure they don't have much of a choice, Ali is too old to move and maggie has grown up with babies.

Fall time up Millcreek Canyon. Elsie loved exploring.

Our cute little family. Tradition


Elsie thought it was the coolest thing to drop leaves into the stream below.

Starting her out young with the longboarding, She wont stand on it yet but she'll soon be doing the "U" run with me :)


The cold weather came for a visit and we were ready. Elsie loves hats and thought that the gloves were the coolest thing, "socks" on her hands.

Pumpkin carving was so much fun this year. Elsie jumped right in and cleaned out her pumpkin, she tried to eat the seeds, yuck!


Elsie even helped my carve out the face on her pumpkin, she was so interested in it and loves pumpkins.

The crew. After carving pumpkins since we didn't make it to Uncle Andrews this year.

Trunk or Treat at the Loosle's ward. The babies loved dressing up and had so much fun. Elsie is the cutest monkey ever and i don't think you'll find a cuter cowboy.

Elsie just wanted to eat the candy as she collected it, finally get the idea what we are just getting more and more and then we'll eat it. Her favorite was the reeses peanut butter cups.

The donuts were very yummy Elsie didn't want to eat the little pieces that i broke off she wanted the whole thing.

Trunk or Treat at our ward, Elsie just wanted to color the whole night. The weather wasn't very nice so we did the Truck or Treat inside.

Happy Birthday Elsie

I can't believe my baby girl is a year old. Time goes by so fast when you are so happy. I have had the BEST year with my little Elsie. She is such a joy in my life and i LOVE waking up every morning knowing that I get to hangout with her all day. Being a mom has been the best job in the world, I love teaching her new things and watching her learn, I love he bright smile first thing in the morning when I get her out of her crib, I love the tight hug she gives me when she wants nothing more then for me to  hold her. I love her little munchkin voice, she is the little chatter box. I love the relationship she has with her dad, she misses him when he's gone and crawls to the back door and says "da". She is so full of love and brings so so much joy into our lives. I know I'm late putting this up since her Birthday is April 3 but
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELSIE!

Cousins

Elsie is so lucky to have a cousin so close to her in age. They play so well together and even have taught eachother new things. I am watching Quentin today here are some pictures of the two of them being silly. Gotta love them!
