Mike has become quite the gardener/farmer lately. He's growing some vegetables from seed inside under a grow light even! Here's he and Elsie watering the new strawberry seeds he just planted. She loves being outside and "helping" Dad with the garden.
Just swinging with Baby at the park on a sick day.
Poor little sickie - fever means TV, rest and lots of apple juice and snuggles.
Mike got to travel to Southern CA for a work trip and he took us with him. We took a spontaneous trip to Disneyland and Elsie loved it! Mike might have loved it even more, but it was pretty close.

It really is a magical place!
The next day, we went to the beach. It was a little cold for swimming, but we played in the sand and watched the waves - there's just nothing better than being on the beach I've decided.
Elsie holding our friends' (Irwins) baby girl, Audrey. She thinks she's so big!
Just because it's funny:
Play dough - probably one of the most ingenious inventions - she stays busy for so long!
Just sharing a burrito with Mom. I love that she'll pretty much eat anything I'm eating. Not picky.
My little hair dresser. She copies what I say and do when I'm doing her hair..."Look down" and "hold still." It's so funny!
Neighbor kids. We have the best street and neighbors. Elsie loves playing with all of them!
Mike is still working for Domo and doing well. They have a lot of swag (T-shirts, busses, biking outfits, rugby team outfits, etc.) They also feed their employees 3 meals a day if you want. They throw killer parties too! It's a fun company to work with.
I know, she should be in commercials or something....have you ever seen anything cuter?!
First time doing double french braids. She actually sat pretty still (movies on the iPhone or food seem to keep her occupied).
Grandma MarJean is still recovering from her surgery and we go to visit often. Elsie usually goes there when I work, so they've missed each other while Grandma has been recovering.
Easter flowers, Easter sweaters, Easter candy and Easter blue smiles....can life get better?!!!
Elsie is obsessed with Grandpa Parker's new Razor. She begs for a ride every time she sees it. Her and Kallie sat and played in there for a while until Grandpa finally could give them a ride. Listen to her yell for Grandpa and demand a ride...hilarious! She giggles when he goes fast and yells "Woohoo!"

She loves soda - especially Mom/Dad's Diet Coke....what have I done?!...and loves wearing Dad's yard work hat. How can you say "no" to that face when she asks for "just one sip" and holds up her little pointer finger?
My dad put together a cute video for my Grandma Mae's (who Elsie's named after) 100th birthday. It was a tear-jerker. Here's our little part.
Elsie's first time to Krispy Cream donuts. It was a hit!
Playing with cousin Aubrey. She can always make Elsie laugh.
Play date with Trina Weeks kids, Aria, Jaxon, and Xander. These two little girls are only a few months apart. They're so fun and sassy together! I take a dance class with Trina and Mike met Jeff while working at Domo. They are the cutest family!
She's either yelling or roaring right here. So funny
Elsie and I went to Southern CA for Grandma Elsie's 100th birthday party! Here's Elsie and Elsie together. Grandma doesn't always remember much these days, but she always seems to light up and remember her little name-sake when we come to visit.
We all stayed at the Hilton's house - beautiful big house in Moorepark, CA with lemon and avocado orchards as far as you can see...so fun! We visited with family, hit the beach, ate, laughed, swam, and had a ball!
On our way back home, we discovered interesting ways to pack Elsie around with all of our luggage. She sure loves her Aunt Stephy!
Playing with the baby chicks at Camden's house. Elsie is an animal lover. She is not afraid of hardly any animal.
Playing with her new train set from IKEA. She wouldn't leave the train table at the store forever so we thought she better have her own. She makes little car noises like Grandpa Steve taught her to do.
