Kid Wisdom

Elise,
Tonight, just a few minutes after I tucked you in bed, you came out and said, "mommy, I don't need anything, but there's a monster in my closet." I asked you to show me the monster in your closet and you took me in your room and pointed to your closet and go "see that block monster in there." I looked and I said, "that is just daddy's coat." And you said, "oh, well why did daddy put his coat in my closet?!" I said "because he has no where else to put it." You said, "oh." I could tell you weren't completely comfortable with what I told you the monster was, so I shut your closet door to make you feel better. Then you went back to bed and fell fast aslepp. hahahahah oh Elise, you crack me up! I love you!

Our Trip to the Idaho Falls Zoo!

Camping with Friends

Elise, we got to go camping with mommy and daddy's friends Royce and Mandy. You had tons of fun playing with their little girls, Candance, and Marquessa, and also their dog Johny.

Time to update this Blog!

Elise,
I'm sorry, mommy hasn't updated this blog in a while, but I'm going to backtrack now.
The Fourth of July:
You had fun at the Fourth of July. We went to a parade, and you loved it. Your favorite part about it was seeing the princesses. And of course the candy! Then you also stuck some pine needles on daddy's head, and said, daddy was an alien. It was so funny. Then later that night we watched fireworks. You said you were scared of the, but I think you were just being silly. But you did hide underneath the blanket to hide from them. lol

Third Birthday!

Elise,
You had a great 3rd Birthday Party!
We invited your friends over for cake and icecream. You insisted that you wanted a strawberry cake for your birthday, so we made you one, but then we also made a chocolate one for your friends, and instead of eating the strawberry one that you wanted so badly, you ate the chocolate one. lol. After eating cake and icecream, you opened your presents. You got a wedding barbie, and 2 Dora books from mom and dad, you got a colorbook and paint pens and bubbles from Nathan, makeup from Joy and Demi, and you got Johnson's buddies soap, chapstick, and pretty flower hair clips from Sharp. After opening presents, all of you had a great time just playing outside. You all decided to fill up a pool and play in it. Then you guys decided to play in the mud--you were all a muddy mess in the end, but you all had great fun!

Camping!

Elise
You went camping for the first time the other day. I'm not sure if you liked it or not, but you seemed to have fun. You loved playing in the tent and going for a little walk, and you also really enjoyed feeding the chipmunks. On the way to our camping spot we stopped and got some square icecream (thanks Grandpa Turtle for the yummy treat!). :)

Story

Elise,
The other night I asked you what your babies name was and you looked around your room for a little bit, and then you looked at the laundry basket, and you said, "my babies name is laundry." LOL!

Spoiled Rotten!

Elise,
Tonight me and you had a great time, and you got SPOILED ROTTEN! :)
I took you to the creamery for dinner (you had a hot dog, fries, and rootbeer), and then after your dinner, you had strawberry icecream. Then I took you to Shopko, and you got a princess Barbie, and Ken Doll, as well as a sucker. Then we went to Seagull book and you got a puppy book and a my little Pony book. And when we went to pay, mommy was teasing you, and you go "if you don't stop that, I'm going to kick you in the nuts!" OH MY!!!!!!! I was sooooooooooooooooooooooooo embarrassed and the cashier's mouth dropped wide open! I told you we don't ever say that kind of thing and I never want to hear you say it again. Oh the things you pick up from other kids. :). I also painted your fingernails. Then I let you stay up about an hour passed your bed time. Yep, you were spoiled rotten tonight, but you are worth it!
Love you little Lil!
Love, Mom

Easter 2009

Elise,

I'm so sorry that this post is late!

But you had a great Easter, and you were more excited than you were on Christmas. The Easter Bunny brought you Madagascar (DVD), a sticker maker, and some crayons, and lots of candy. You also got lots of presnets from Grandmas, and Grandpas, and Aunts. Later that day, we had an Easter Egg Hunt, and you had lots of fun finding the eggs, and once you found all of them, you wanted to hide them again. Then later that day we painted Easter Eggs, and you decided to wear your Christmas shirt (on Easter, lol) while we painted them. Also when you got your dress from Grandma and Grandpa Turtle, you asked daddy to turn some music on, so you could dance, so h did, and then you danced for quite a while. We all had a great Easter!

Love,

Mom

First Prayer

Elise,
You said your very first prayer today all by yourself without me asking. This is what you said. It was so cute! (This was a morning prayer, not a blessing on the food).
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for candy, and for the strawberries.
Please bless us and thanks for the food.
In the name of Jesus Christ amen.

Good job on your first prayer Elise!
Love, Mom

Cute Family Pictures!

Elise,

The other day we went for a walk in Rock Canyon and mommy went a little picture crazy! :) But I think they turned out pretty cute!
