More Snow and CAKE!

Last night we got even more snow. We had to go outside to brush off our pumpkins. They looked REALLY cold!


Then Mommy and I made oil and vinegar chocolate cake with flour frosting. Mmmm!! It was really yummy.

My Busy Morning

This morning I woke up and couldn't believe my eyes! I told Mommy about the awful "mess" that I saw out my window.

This is what it looked like. Can you believe it?

Mommy explained to me that it was snow, and I just had to go back for another look. Then she opened the door so I could feel the snow. I said "brrrrrr!" (Yes I was playing with stickers in the meantime.)

Once I got over the white stuff for a bit, Mommy made me some new orange playdough.

I really like playdough. Look at the kitty Mommy made for me! I only squished him a little.

Riding My Pony

Last night I tried to ride my little pony...

Uh Oh... I don't know if I can hold on!

Then the uh oh happened... I fell right off my pony! This is how I looked. Maybe I AM too big.

Carving Pumpkins!

Practicing

On Sunday we went to see uncle Gary. I worked really hard painting a card for him.

Today I practiced being a kitty.


See my tail?

I'm not sure if I'll grow into my ears by Halloween though...

Walking My Babies

What do you mean my babies aren't buckled in safely Mommy? They look fine to me.

My Uncle Gary

My Aunt Sara said my Uncle Gary was coming home from Iraq this past Wednesday, so I wore this shirt for him. Uncle Gary, I hope you are at home and happy, safe and sound! See you soon! Love, Elsie Rae

Update on the Littlest Baby

Mommy had her ultrasound today and, you guessed it, I'm going to have a baby brother!

Everything looked good and healthy.

Can you tell I'm excited?!

Elsie and the Baby/Belly

I'm giving my baby brother or sister a hug.

Hi baby, can you hear me?

Haha, I think the baby likes me Mommy!

Saturday and Sunday

Yesterday we went to cousin Brendan's birthday party. Mommy's camera wasn't working, so we didn't get any pictures. I had lots of fun though!

That evening, I took all the stickers out of my goodie bag and put them on my hand. See them?

After church I got to play with play dough (Thanks Brendan). Why haven't you given me this stuff to play with before Mommy? It's so much fun!

I found this Kitty hat that I wore last year. It doesn't fit as well as it used to.... But I still like to wear it.

I guess it fit a lot better a year ago... Here I am last October. I've gotten SO big since then.

Happy Birthday

Happy first Birthday Brendan James!!!

We love you and look forward to your birthday party tomorrow!
Love,
Elsie, Aunt Jessie, and Uncle Matt

I'm Ready!

OK Mommy, I'm ready to go outside!

Pics From Today

I wish I could play with those big kids across the road...


I love it when Daddy gets home!


Mommy told me to smile for the camera, so I did. :) CHEEEESE!!

Picture for Today

Here's our little "fire chief".

A Fun Day

Yesterday I had fun with Grandma D., and my Aunts Sara, Keely, Courtney and Mommy. I got to pick out more pumpkins!

I even got to go down a scary slide.

I chose THIS pumpkin.

Now don't anybody touch it!

I got to sit by the GREAT pumpkin.

Here's Mommy and I and my Aunts. We had the sunshine in our eyes.

I didn't think this day could get any better! But then we went to the cider mill.

I got sleepy on the way, but I didn't dare close my eyes and miss anything.

I really didn't like the waterfall at the cider mill.... Too loud for me.

When we got back I STILL wasn't about to take a nap... So Grandma took me out to rake some leaves.

"No time for pictures Mom, I've got a lot of work ahead of me."

"Time for a break... Afterall, just when I think I'm getting somewhere, more leaves fall out of the sky!"

P.S. I went the ENTIRE day without a nap and blew Mom's mind. Some times I think she needs those naps more than I do!
