Fall Fun

Elsie loves farm animals, especially cows (this is in no way a result of us having named her Elsie). A few weeks ago we went to the library and there were cows in a pasture across the parking lot, so we went over to see them. I realized I've never taken her to the farm. Grace and Tyler have been so many times, but I've not taken her yet. So, I decided to take the kids on a day off from school. I thought Elsie would love it. Nope! She wouldn't get out of my arms she was so afraid. I had to go back out to the car and get the stroller. After about an hour she warmed up to it all. She even got on a pony for a pony ride. She was so proud of herself. She kept saying, "horse, bum, neigh neigh," meaning she rode one on her bum.







Tyler has been begging all summer for a suit to wear to church like his dad. Most boys have to be forced into one and Tyler has been begging for one. I finally found him one. He was so excited. I made Grace and Elsie skirts, so they were all adorable Sunday at church.




During the priesthood session of conference my sister, Mandy and I took the kids to Gardner Village to see all the witches. They also got to go to the petting zoo. Elsie even got brave enough this time to pet a goat. She was rather proud of herself.







Elsie still enjoys a bottle before bedtime.
