My Little Girl Turns 3

Yes, Annie has turned 3!! I still cant believe it. She has been wasiting for so long. We had a little party for the family, and it turned out great. She was so excited all day to make her Cinderella cake, which she loved. She went an bought her balloons which of course she got a princess one. It was quite cute cause she kept saying, Thank you. She thought it was so neat everything we were doing for her. Then at her party she thanked everyone for their gifts and was very appreciative of them. When she opened her Grandma E's gift which was just a paper saying that they would be taking her to Build a Bear to buikd a bear and buy some clothes, the expression on her face was priceless. She thought that was so neat, she is so excited. Anyways it had her Aunt crying because of her reaction. She is a very special girl, and has the funnest personality. We love her, and hope she loves being three.

She love the Princess and the frog so we got her a swim towel and swimsuit with her on it.

We bought her a new bike so she could reach the peddals.

Blowing out her candles, it did take alot of work but she got them all out.

She was spoiled of course, other gifts were many outfits from her Aunts, uncles and Cousins. She got a Giant coloring book of Tinkerbell and her friends from her cousins. And petshops, Tinkerbell doll and a bouncing ball. She had a great day!

There will be more pictures to come of the trip to Build a Bear, and of course the presnet she's been waiting for her earings.

Little Getaway!

This last weekend we were able to get away to a little warmer place. We went down to Cedar City and St George for my brother and his wifes Sealing. We couldnt be more happy for the both of them. It was so nice to have our whole family down there to participate. Congrats Chad and Candice! We were able to spend some time with them. Not much but a little. They live in Cedar so we stayed in Cedar, and just drove down for Saturday and played there all day. It was so nice not to wear Jackets, and be able to wear flip flops and not freeze. After the sealing we went to lunch at the Pasta Factory, oh my goodness it was soooo good. I hadnt ever eaten there. But their salad is to die for. I am craving it now, and of course their yummy breadsticks. Then we did a little shopping, not much. And then went and hiked around the red rocks just above St George. The kids loved it, we will probably do that more often when we visit.

The happy couple after the ceremony. Jillian loves her Uncle Chad.



Kelsie climbing through a tight squeeze.

Annie thought she was so big being able to do it by herself.

I love this picture, with the loves of my life. With the city behind them.


This is Brandons mark. I guess alot of people engrave thier initials when they come up here. And Brandon had done his when he was going to school down at SUU, about 14-15 years ago. So a few times when we have come down he will mark everytime he has come. Obviously we havent marked everytime we come down. But the kids thought it was cool.

Only picture of me with Annie.

Little Annie thought this was her own personal seat. I love how this picture turned out.

Happy St Paddys Day!

We had a great Holiday!! The girls had fun dressing up in green, and having their school parties. The leperchan visited Jillians class.

We had fun playing with hair. Jillian we tried a shamrock, and it turned out pretty cute.

So Annie wanted to be the same, but her hair isnt long enough. So we did cute little hearts. They only lasted for a couple hours, then she ripped them out.


Cute Girls!!!

This is the only picture we could get of Kelsie, ignore my pantry.

For dinner Brandon was in charge, because I was leaving to a RS Birthday Dinner. So he wanted to do Green Eggs and Ham, with Green Jello Jiggler squares with Green whip cream. And Green Milk. I guess it was a success. They saved me some Jello witch was my favorite. Yummy!!!!

Disney on Ice

My mom took all of the grandkids and their moms, with aunt Lani to Disney on Ice. Here are a few pictures from it. The girls had a blast and loved seeing the princesses in person.

Annie was way excited, she was cinderella.

Whats new in the Elzinga Household????

Well there hasn't been much going on around here but I will try and list a few things for fun since I havent posted for a while.

*First of all we just found out Friday that we will be adding another sweet little girl to our family. We are all so excited, they will be the best of friends. As for me I am excited but stressing about doing more hair. Really it is only bad on Sunday mornings. Now to think of a name......

*We thought we were lucky and were going to sneak past the sick time of year. But I did happen to get a Sinus Infection along with a nast cold/cough. Luckily the rest of the family has just had little conjestion, but not much else.

*We are ready for Spring to come. Bring on the warm weather.

*We cant wait to go to St George in a couple of weeks for my brother and his wifes sealing in the St George Temple. Hopefully it is warm.

*Kelsie did a biography book report on Amelia Erhart, and loved learning about her. She had to dress the part when she gave her report. We found a hat that looked like hers, and she wore kahki pants, with boots, and a scarf. I thought she looked pretty darn good. Too bad I didnt take a picture.

*Jillian is doing really good on her school and especially reading. She is always looking at signs as we drive by, or at books she sees to try and sound out things. She feels so "big"

*Annie, she just wants to stay little. She cracks us up all the time. She is quite the performer, she loves to sing and will make up songs. And if you ask her what she wants for her birthday in a couple weeks, she will say "Princess earings" which means she wants to get her ears pierced. I am not ready, but the other two got theirs when they were three. So I guess we will do it. She also loves her blonde hair, and if you ask her what color her hair is, she will say "I have Tinkerbell hair. " Where does she come up with these things?

Well that is some things that have been going on. Sorry no pictures, I tried downloading ones from the Ultrasound but they gave me a read-only disc. So if anyone knows how to download it let me know.
