Elliots trip to pakistan

creative play

Dakota decided to clean the crumbs out of a cheezits bag and got stuck. Luckily Elliot came to her rescue. You usually expect to have to tell your kids not to play with plastic bags. I don't know if we should call our puggle crafty or just stupid.

Here is how i spent christmas break other than watching Elliot and reading my collection of louis l'amour books. Now it's back to school for me.

cabin trip

We took a trip with friends to their cabin at Brian Head. Kristin and Elliot remembered that they aren't crazy about the snow, but they had fun anyway. Elliot had more fun playing with Ella, Stuart and Shana's baby girl.
Check out my friend chris's sweet moon boots.

Meeting Santa Clause...

We are not sure how Elliot's Christmas is going to be this year since she did not make a very good impression on Santa Clause. Landon and I knew this would be Elliot's reaction since she has always shown a dislike for men (except Daddy) especially with strangers with facial hair. But we just couldn't help ourselves. Our nephews Jacob and Peyton however behaved themselves very nicely (at least during this time of the night).

Magical Forest

We went to the Magical Forest with some family. It was very cold but that did not stop Elliot from wandering around and having fun. We rode on a little train and the carousel and looked at all of the lights. Elliot and Kristin tasted their first funnel cake. Very greasy but tasted pretty good.

Bubbles

Here are some cute pics of Elliot blowing bubbles with her dad. It is so fun to watch her discover new things.

One year ago...

It is amazing to me how much Elliot has changed in just one year. Here are pictures of her last year at Halloween. She wore the pumpkin costume to her cousin's birthday party. The lamb costume was homemade. Cotton balls glued to a onesie worked out really well. Elliot had a good time this year passing out candy at her cousin Jacobs house. She enjoyed some candy. She was eating 2 suckers at once. Too bad I forgot my camera though.
