19 & THREE

Feb 14 - March 13, 2013

Started this month by driving down to Arisona to visit Grandma Dee, Grandpa John and TT!
Dalin and (soon to be aunt) Kris tagged along.
It was a nice change of weather!! So warm! They took us to the zoo! They had one exhibit where you could pet sting rays. The kids didn't like it too much but I thought it was cool!
Chasing two kids around the zoo I didn't really think about taking pictures.. which stinks because you could feed/ pet the Giraffes. You walked up on the big deck and were eye level with them. We all really liked that part!!
They also had a petting zoo which was probably the favorite part for the kids... good for me because it was fenced so I could take some pictures without losing one of them.


"Bambi" was definitely our favorite!!
The table and chairs Grandpa John made for Elsa and Blake.
 It was a blast of a weekend!! It was nice to finally meet Grandpa John and and very nice to spend time with Grandma Dee! We love them!! It was a little depressing leaving 70 degree weather and coming back to snow.
Back to our fun life in Provo...
 Reading scriptures and singing songs!!


 Don't really know why she did this... I do wash our laundry regularly!

Elsa and Blake love to snuggle with little baby in mommy's tummy!

 Our new Family Home Evening tradition! I did start buying the mini cones... the mess is fun once. Now when we eat ice cream cones not on a Monday night, Elsa still insists on a lesson.
 No matter where daddy is sitting, Elsa and Blake always end up climbing on him...
 Can you guess where Elsa landed?
 Bad mommy when these become the favorite meal... more than once a day.

 Monsters!! or Mons-turds as Elsa says.
 Elsa makes a good hairy mons-turd as well!
 Oh how I love my cute little MONS-TURDs!!

March 13 Elsa turned THREE!!

My pretty ballerina princess is getting so big!
For her "Birthday Party" we invited a few friends to go to the park with us and have a picnic lunch.
Later that day we had our little family party. We had ice cream cones instead of cake and opened presents.

This is for Grandma and Grandpa Thackeray! She loves it!!

Elsa is such a blessing to our family!! We learn so much from her and she keeps us on our toes. She is such a joy and a good big sister. She is so smart... too smart for us. We have really learned to watch what we say and do because she will repeat it! She is growing up to be a beautiful, social, active little girl! We love our ELSA!!
