It’s finally been warm enough for Elizabeth to ride her 4-wheeler outside. She rips on and off the grass, off the curb and crashes into anything that is in her way. One problem that she has had is that she will be driving but not looking where she is going and has had some bad spills. But that hasn’t seem to slow her down.

Elizabeth turns 2!
April 3, 2012 by admin
To celebrate Elizabeth turning two years old we had a Minnie Mouse themed birthday party. Minnie Mouse is her favorite character right now along with anything from Toy Story. So it is fitting that she received tons of Toy Story gifts. Like last year, she was too fond of her huge cupcake (she doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth as of yet) but she LOVES to blow out candles. She had a good time seeing all of her big uncles in Minnie Mouse ears as well as taking swings at her Minnie Mouse pinata.
It is so weird to think that our little girl was born two years ago. It really does just seem like yesterday but I also cannot remember what life was like without her. She’s an interesting combination of being very curious and not afraid to climb the biggest slide but is also a very sensitive and caring child. She is quick to share her “blanky and pillow” to anyone that she thinks may be hurt.
I have never seen a more social and out going child with her “friends” which is anyone that she thinks is a kid. This can be a one year old or a seven year old. She lives for nursery when she gets to play for two hours and sing songs. There is nothing more cute than her singing the songs she has learned to her baby doll that she totes around with her.
We’ve had the BEST two years with you E and wouldn’t change anything about you! We can’t wait to see what the next year brings.Category Jordan | Tags: | No Comments

Santa says, “Ho Ho Ho”
April 3, 2012 by admin
Elizabeth definlty was not afraid to sit on Santa’s lap this year. She actually wanted to do it over and over again. We love the Christmas season and have had such a good time spending it with family.
We stayed true to our traditions such as sitting on Santa’s lap at the Country Club Christmas party. Elizabeth waited patently behind other children and she was lucky enough to get a teddy bear from Santa. I’m not sure that she fully understands that Santa Claus brings her presents and leaves them at her house while she is sleeping but when you ask her what Santa says she yells, “Ho Ho Ho”!
We also kept with our traditions and looked at the lights on the famous “Christmas Street” before heading to the Joseph Smith Memorial building that overlooks the Salt Lake temple for dinner.
Santa came and brought lots and lots and too many gifts! It was almost overwhelming to her but after a few minutes all she wanted to do was to open everyone’s presents from under the tree. She was definetly spoiled from Santa, grandparents, cousins, and her uncles this year. The hot item this year was a baby that she can tote around in it’s own car seat and a bottle that fits into the babies mouth. We can’t leave the house without the baby being strapped in her car seat and a bottle to feed her.Category Elizabeth, Family | Tags: , Christmas 2011 | No Comments

It’s a…………..baby………..
April 3, 2012 by admin
The time has finally come for us to take a sneak peak at our newest sweet baby. And man this baby is WILD! It took over an hour for the tech to get a good look at both hands and feet because they were all over the place. I hope this isn’t a sign of things to come. We were able to get a good look at the legs and are 100% sure that it is a little baby……BOY! We couldn’t be happier! Our sweet baby James is expected to arrive on July 2nd but we will be thrilled if he decides to surprise us before then.
One of the really great things about having a baby is the face that Elizabeth is very very sweet and loves babies. I know she will be such a good little helper (maybe even a little too much) but she can’t wait.Category Family, James | Tags: | No Comments

A Minnie Mouse Halloween
April 3, 2012 by admin
Right now the obsession is on Minnie Mouse so for Halloween, Elizabeth dressed up as none other then Minnie herself. She love the idea of getting candy and enjoyed most of it as she walked. Lucky for us, our neighborhood does their trunk-or-treat right in our cult-da-sac so we didn’t have to go very far. She ended up eating way too much candy by night time and threw up on her dad.
She did not enjoy carving pumpkins however, she didn’t like the feeling of the seeds and how slimy the insides were. She’s like her mom and wanted someone else to clean out the pumpkin!Category Elizabeth, Family | Tags: , Halloween 2011 | No Comments

Splash Pads
November 26, 2011 by admin
This summer we spent at least one day a week playing at a Splash Pad. Splash Pads are water parks without slides and large bodies of water. The water shoots up from spouts on the ground and play equipment. So this is perfect for younger children who are too young to be in a pool by themselves. She has such a great time running around, playing and splashing in the water. It is a great thing to do to get her nice and worn out for her afternoon nap. We went a few times with our friends Cooper and Miles Hickman. She loves those boys and they all play really well together.

The Utah State Fair
November 26, 2011 by admin
This September we took our annual trip to the Utah State Fair. Elizabeth was in awe with all that was going on. Lots of people, food, music, lights and rides. To try and keep track of her we brought her red wagon (which she loves to ride in). I guess there was too much fun that she felt that she was missing out on because we couldn’t get her to stay in it. She wanted to walk/run all over the place. She went on rides with her dad and loved walking through all of the livestock. And as always, she enjoyed lots of treats!

August & Tracy Aviary
November 26, 2011 by admin
Elizabeth LOVES animals and loved the Tracy Aviary. She ran from bird to bird making noises and talking to them. She liked to stick her hand inside the fence to get as close to them as possible. She had a great time with her Papa.
Right next to the aviary is a park which has carnival type rides as well as snow cones and treats. As you can see from the pictures, she couldn’t stop smiling.

4th of July
November 24, 2011 by admin
This 4th of July we had a barbecue in Grandma T’s backyard. Elizabeth was in awe of sparklers and loved dancing around with them. With Elizabeth being the only grandchild so far on her mom’s side of the family, she is the center of attention and she wouldn’t have it any other way. She had a blast running around and playing with her uncles!

Bear Lake and Family Reunion
November 24, 2011 by admin
This July we had a family reunion in Bear Lake. Elizabeth had such a blast playing with Phoebe and all of the kids around. We had a blast boating, eating great food, playing in the sand, playing games, digging for sea shells, and playing in the water. Elizabeth couldn’t get enough of red licorice and every time I would turn around she would have another handful. We had a great time being with extended family and can’t wait until we all get to be together at this time next year.
