I am impressed with those that get back to blogging in a timely manner after moving because things have been so crazy for me that this blog has not been on the top of my list. So there is no theme, rhyme, or reason to this post. Just pictures of what we have been up to. Enjoy.
Family pictures with a few different background options.
I asked Elsie to wipe down and the table so she climbed on to get every spot. It was not what I was expecting so I thought it was funny to see her up there.
Elsie's effort to set the table.
This is an involuntary hair cut after she twists her hair so tight that it can not be combed out. The expression on Elsie's face shows how disgusting it is for her to hold her own hair. Hilarious!!!!!
Allen's birthday. Instead of a regular cake Allen wanted a corn bread cake.
One of Alice's 6 month portraits.
Our family at The Gila Valley Temple open house.
Elsie wearing her dinosaur hat she made at the library reading time.
Elsie laughing as she teases her sister.
Alice trying so hard to get a bite of the apple as Elsie purposefully keeps it just out of reach, and giggling the whole time.
Out shooting with my sisters.
Hiking with my sisters at Zion's National Park.
I put this squash next to Alice to show comparatively how big it was.
The mega banana squash from my grandpa's garden.
The red spot on the end of her nose is her war wound from the ward camp out on Mt. Lemon. She is great at pushing herself backwards and getting stuck, like underneath this chair.
Gramgram and Grandpa Jr. visiting for the weekend. The hit that weekend was the game sequence. They didn't like the small board so they made their own large version of the game.
Elsie moved the exercise ball in the corner just right so it was a tight fit so she could have her own "trampoline." In addition to being so inventive, she is potty training and doing quite well. She is getting to know the kids around here because frequently she asks to play with her "friends." Sometimes she remembers their names but most of the time she just calls them friend.
She was so tired she fell asleep during her snack time right before bed.
Alice is now 8 1/2 months old. Just this week she is beginning to crawl. She loves to smile, dance, clap, and play with her big sister. She is growing up so fast.
