Aunt Coco


Daniel's sister Courtney came to visit us last week. Sadie calls her Coco- much easier to say than Courtney. We didn't end up doing much because Sadie got the stomach flu right after Courtney arrived and then she spent a couple days getting back to her normal self. It was great that Courtney happened to be here so I didn't have to take any time off work.
(Check out the adorable black coat Courtney bought Sadie)

On Courtney's last day here I was determined to get out of the house for something fun.
First we went to BYU's Bean Museum.

Most of my pictures ended up something like this because Sadie could not contain her excitement.

She did pause for a moment to touch the elephant's tusks.
Unfortunately we have not been able to get it out of Sadie's head that all 4 legged animals are not dogs.

She pointed and yelled "doggie!" at everything she saw. It seems Sadie has the same interest in learning about animals I have (hardly any).

When we got up to the second floor Sadie literally just sprinted around occasionally yelling "doggie!". We let her run around the whole thing twice and then forced her back downstairs.

She sat like this looking at the bees for 5 minutes. I actually got her to say "bee" a few times.

On our way out we attempted to get a cute picture of the Nielson sibs with their favorite niece, but my brand new camera couldn't take a good picture in the strange lighting.


Then we got ice cream at the BYU Creamery.

Courtney let Sadie have lots of licks. After each lick Sadie would then reach for some of my ice cream. Sadie went back and forth mooching ice cream off both of us- she's a smart girl.

Thanks for coming Coco!
You made Sadie a very happy girl!
(Sorry none of these pictures of you are great)

You got a new camera? What kind? Briz did the same thing for a while calling all animals on all fours doggie. She's grown out of it so there's hope :)
