Elle's Easter Loot!! She was kind of hesitant at first to tear into the candy...usually that would be a "no-no"!! Once she was satisfied that it was hers...shejumped right in!!
These are pictures of Elle eating her "chocolate bunny" and learning how to say "cheese" at the same time!! She was just making me laugh...so I kept taking pictures!!
This is little Elle June in her Easter Sunday dress! She wanted to get her picture taken with Grandma's easter bunny!! So cute!!
On our recent trip to Arizona...Lynny and I decided to take the kids to a waterpark in Tempe!! It was perfect for their age group and best of all it was FREE!! So we told the girls the whole day before that if they were good, we would take them to the waterpark...worked like a charm. Here's the bummer...when we got there, the park was under renovation and was closed!! We had packed a picnic lunch and the girls found the only standing water within a five mile radius...and do you know what? They had a BLAST!!
So...Aunt Jess and Uncle Kameron came to visit this week in Utah. We love it when they come...especially, Elle. So many new things to get into. On this particular day, she found Aunt Jess' makeup. She has found it before, but was discovered before any major damage was done! So, she knows she is not supposed to get into Aunt Jess' things. Well, she had been gone and quiet for too long...but mommy was so busy playing with her sisters to notice. A short time later, Elle quietly entered the room where we all were...hoping not to be noticed, but she was. It just cracks me up that she is 18 months old and has observed so much. She pretends to put it on just like her mommy...awe!! She did get in trouble though...so she is pouting in these pictures!
This little car belongs to my neighbor...thanks Monica! Once Elle took her first ride in it...it has become a daily ritual! This is Elle and Makenna's attempt at taking turns. Sadly, I am sure Elle had much more fun than Makenna. Makenna could run while pulling Elle and Elle could barely walk while pulling Makenna!! But they both seemed to enjoy it!
This is Grandma Savik reading a bedtime story to Elle and Makenna. Two things that both of these girls love are books and their grammy.
My friend Dacia lives about 25 minutes from me and owns a minature pony, "Little Black". She invited me to come down anytime to take Elle for a ride, so I thought it might be something fun for the girls to do together. Sadly, they fell asleep on the way there and we had to wake them up. So they were kind of out of sorts at first. They both took turns riding Little Black with a little saddle on him and weren't quite sure what to think...pictured below. Then Dacia hooked up a little cart and took them for a spin...THEY LOVED IT!!
Elle found grammy's fuzzy socks and put them on! Trent thought it was so funny...I had to run and get the camera!! They look like knee high boots!! Like I say...she cracks me up!!
We had a beautiful day today and Elle and Papa decided to take advantage of the sunshine!! They did a little weeding, raking, shoveling compost, etc. Mostly they just had fun working together...I finally had to bring Elle inside, so Papa could actually do something productive! This weather has made me really anxious for more sunshine!! We are ready to get outside!!
Elle has decided that she likes to do hair...she especially likes to do grammy's hair AS SOON as grammy gets home from work. She loves her grammy and her grammy is so patient with her!!
I just thought this was so cute! She was in her car seat and completely interested in reading her book and then two seconds later...asleep!!! Just can't fight it!! She slept that was for a long time before she finally dropped the book!
