The last few photos from Vermont

Here are a few more photos I thought I would share. Chrissy got to come to Vermont for a day and the three sisters got to be together for a short while. Unfortunately the only proof I have is a few pictures with Owen and Nathan in them.




Elsie stared to tell the dog what to do while we were in Vermont. Her favorite command was "box dog". Here she is in front of the dog crate telling the dog "quiet".

The Caledonia County Fair

The Caledonia County Fair was one of the funnest things I did as a kid. At the end of each summer right before school started the fair would come into town. A few years we even put fruits and vegetables in to be judged. We would go on family day and get to ride all the rides as much as we wanted. I just happened to be in Vermont when the fair came to town so how could I resist going?? Elsie loved all the kiddie rides and it was a lot of fun going on some of them with her. She also got to participate in the ice cream eating contest. Which she did a great job at. She had no hope in trying to win but she did a good job keeping her hands behind her back and eating it with her mouth only. The cool thing about this was the news crew that were filming it for the local news were at her table. So since she is so cute she got a couple of closeups of her face on the evening news!!! Now she is a star just like her mommy (check out the chorus in "In the Bedroom").

More cousins

When we go out to Boston we also go to Vermont where the rest of our family lives. We got to spend one morning with Abby and Raymond. We were so happy to see them and Elsie had a great time playing with them. Raymond even cuddled with me for a little bit.

Nathan and baby Owen

Here are several pictures of Elsie with her cousins Nathan and baby Owen.

The beach was next on the list

A day or two later we made it to the beach. I always forget how much sand is involved in a trip to the beach!!! But we had a great time. Elsie loved playing in the sand and digging for rocks with Auntie Chrissy. She was not as interested in the water as the waves were a bit big for her liking.

Swimming in the back yard

When we were in Boston we went swimming in my sister Chirssy's backyard. Elsie and her cousin Nathan loved it. Mean while the mommies and baby Owen got to hang out and chit chat. We can't wait to have our own backyard again. Maybe next summer we will not be moving so we can do swimming and barbecuing in our backyard (my fingers are crossed).

A trip to New England

We were so excited to take a trip to visit family in New England. The main purpose for our visit was my sister Teddy was getting sealed to her husband in the Boston Temple. For those of you who are not LDS (Mormon) that means they went through a special marriage ceremony to be sealed together for eternity. We believe if you are sealed together in the Temple to your whole family you will be with them after death. It was a great day and even Will got to come out for 24 hours to see it!!


My niece and nephew who came. Joseph got sealed to Teddy and Milton but Alora did not.

Fun shots

A visit from our best friends

We were so lucky to have a chance see some of our dear friends from KS. And the best thing about it was they came to us! We had so much fun with them. We went to a jumping play place, the children's museum, shopping, the park and to diner a few times. Even if we had just stayed home it would have been the best time just being with them again. This is Elsie's best friend who is a day younger then her and was the first name she said. They still talk about each other all the time. We hope to see them again next summer if we can make it out to KS.

A new adventure

Elsie had a new adventure the other day. We were lucky enough to find a grocery cart with a car on the front of it!! She loved driving the cart/car around. The only drawback is she can reach stuff on the shelves down there.

A happy family

This shot was taken in Will's new hotel while we were staying there. Aren't we a cute family!!??

It's been a while

Well I am sorry it's been a while but life has been super busy. August was filled with friends and traveling. 

First I went out to KS to have the movers come pack us up  and then move us out. It was the first time I have spent a night apart from Elsie. It went better then I thought it would so maybe Will and I can go away for a weekend or something!!! I was lucky enough to get to see a few friends while I was there. 

After I returned from KS one of our best friends from KS came to visit us!!! It was so much fun. I have a few photos but I am still having technical difficulties with my computer so you will have to wait for pictures.

A week or so after that we went out to Boston and Vermont for a quick visit. I am sorry I did not get to see any friends there but it was such a short trip I decided to spend it all with my family. We came out because my sister Teddy got sealed to her husband in the Boston Temple. It was wonderful. 

Since then we have just been hanging out and relaxing. This weekend we moved out of Park City down to Tooele to stay with Will's dad for a few weeks until we close on our new house. 

But the really exciting news is we have a buyer for our house in KS. We are so happy and relieved and pray that it all goes through. So far so good. 

That about raps up my life for the past month. I hope to put some pictures up soon!!
