What a summer!

Hi Everyone! We hope that you are having a great summer! We can't believe that it is almost over for those that are attending school...good luck!

Elise would love to go to school. For now, she does "school" at home with Mommy. She is learning to play the keyboard... or just keep it from walking away! The two animals with her are her new favorite snuggle buddies. We tell her to go snuggle and she finds her animals!














We have been looking for a hat for Elise to wear when we are outside playing. She has a small head for a cap, but too big of a head for other hats we have found. This is one that is a bit too small, but she loves it! It was only a dollar!














Daddy and Elise took a ride on the Merry-go-round at the Hogle Zoo in Utah. Elise loved the ride until she realized that Mommy was on the outside watching. Each time she would come around and see me, she would give little cries until she saw me again...then it started over again. Poor girl!



















Mommy and Elise are waiting for the train ride to start. Elise loved the ride. Her eyes were wide open as we passed various animals and saw people along the way. Ofcourse she was waving and saying hello to everyone!


















We had a great time at Uncle Ben's and Aunt Laura's wedding. They got married on July 30th in the Salt Lake Temple. It was a beautiful day of sunshine and smiles. We are so excited to have Laura in our family! She is a wonderful young lady.














Elise is taking a break on the grass outside the Salt Lake Temple. There was not much shade, but we were able to find some. The little dress she is wearing is a gift from Fae, a great friend from Butte.


















Mommy and Elise were waiting for Uncle Ben and Aunt Laura to come out of the temple. Elise knew it was a sacred place, so she would fold her arms every-so-often.


















Elise loves these little rings. She will bring them everywhere she goes. She always has to have one for each hand. I decided that she needed one for each ear also. Once I did it a few times, she wanted me to put them on, then she would take them off and she handed them to me to put back on. That is how our afternoon went. Each time I tried to take a picture, though, she would move. Oh well.


















Grandpop Moser came to visit for a week. We had so much fun with him! Grandpop and Uncle Kiel are making fried zuchini for dinner. It was a treat!














Daddy and Elise in front of a train in Blackfoot, ID. We saw the train by the Potato Museum. It was lots of fun. Perhaps some day we can go on a real train...


















We were so happy when Kiel made it possible for Grandpop to come to Idaho. We were able to have him at our home for a lot of the time. Elise enjoyed every moment of it!... and I know Grandpop loved it too! We are so excited to see Grandpop again at Christmas. This time it will be extra fun because Nana and some Uncles and Aunts will be there too. It's only a couple months away!
































































Elise loves her little lamb. She snuggles with it all the time!
