A package came for Erik! He was so excited! Thanks Grandpa Nielsen for the bow tie, can't you tell he loves it :) I just missed his smile
Jillian's become a climber, oh boy this girl we gotta watch. She loves getting into the trash and other mischief
She also loves to help and be doing what we are doing. Look how happy she is to vacuum.
Erik took swim lessons for 2 weeks and loved it! I love that he's waving to me, such a sweetie.
I was so impressed that he learned how to float, blow bubbles under water and was even brave enough to jump off the diving board! It's so fun to see him learn new things and grow.
In the August Friend magazine there was a recipe for a Birthday Cake that Pres Monson's mom used to make. We thought it was so cool, we tried it out! That was my first time making a 3 layer cake, it was fun and yummy. It felt like we should have sung Happy Birthday or celebrated something...I guess it was to celebrate that we are going to have a baby!!! Our 3rd kiddo will join our family in February, around Valentine's Day and we are sooo excited!
Jillian's been an early bird lately and she also loves playing outside, she can even say 'outside'
She was pushing this trike around in circles and I had to snap a picture. Oh and don't you love her mop top hair. This is what it looks like when I don't do a thing with it...lovey huh?
We went to the Western Idaho Fair yesterday and had fun seeing the shows and eating the fair food.
Erik got to hold a butterfly. We really love this butterfly exhibit, they let you feed the butterflies and see them come out of their cocoons, so cool!
Jillian liked them too! And one landed on Paul's leg, but Erik took care of that for him.
They have a farm animal petting area and the kids got to touch the animals. Erik got to pet piglets and sheep and goats. Jillian wouldn't touch anything but this huge horned cow.
In this picture she's saying 'moo' and then she touched his huge horns.
This huge snake was part of a cool animal show that included a cougar, wolves, snapping turtle, lots of snakes and lizards.
It's Mater! From Cars! Right? Well Erik said, 'no it's not mater' I guess Erik noticed this car looked too nice to be Mater, not enough rust :)
For the first time we checked out the rides at the Fair and got tickets for Erik to choose a ride to go on. He didn't choose a ride, he chose the Jungle Fun play house. He loved it.
