Catch-up

I'm having THE hardest time blogging. I don't know why. I thought that I'd keep up on it for Stewart but I don't think that he has too much time to read blogs because the internet there is too slow.

On the 23rd our ward had a bike parade. Eli wore his ACU's and looked SO freaking cute. I wish I had more excuses to have him wear them.


For the 24th we had a great day. My mom and I took Eli to the parade. (In the pictures it looks like it was against his will because he hated it.) I have vowed to never again go to a parade with Eli unless he asks me to take him! We then went to a movie and relaxed at home. Eli fell asleep at about 7:30 that night. With the help of a 6:30 wake-up call and some Benedryl it wasn't hard.


Eli has had a hard time cleaning his room. Two Mondays ago it took him about 8 hours to finish cleaning it and today it only took him 6. Instead of cleaning he dressed up like "Indiana Jones." (According to him.) He put on his belt, hat, arrow head necklace, shoulder bag, cowboy hat, new shoes and his gun. He thought he looked pretty dang cool and wanted a picture to send to his dad. The pose is all him. (Notice there is no smile? Smiling is for wusses.)

Wow, he sounds like Zack taking all day to clean his room. Isn't it just pure torture that we could get it done in 3 minutes flat and it takes them 8 hours? So sad. I love his costume and his military garb.

I can't believe he doesn't like parades!!!! Maybe if my kids were there he would have liked it better!

Ha, ha. It used to take you and Stacy 8 hours to clean your room and then I would give up. You totally deserve this. Ahhh...revenge is sweet.

I love the ACU's! So cute! I keep looking for them in infant size, but all I can find are the ones that come on the stuffed teddy bears...tempting! :)"

I think the Indiana Jones picture is my favorite! I like that kind of creativity! Good tough guy expression.

Eli looks so cute in those ACU's! I love how our little ones want to be just like their dads!

I go through blog-droughts, too. It's all good -- and the catch-up is just more fun for all of us! Eli is adorable. :)

As for my template, it's just the blogger "Minima Stretch", and I made my header match the background color exactly. I wanted simple for a while. Glad you like it!
