Eli Tag

Thanks for the tag Deidra.

5 things I love about Eli:

(Since this blog is basically a shrine to Eli I'm sure you all know what I love about him but I'll play the game.)

1-He makes me laugh everyday. Today it was by saying: "I like snakes a little but I hate them a lot." He always contradicts himself in the same sentence it's so funny. 

2-He is loving and sweet. He always says: "I love this whole family!" or "I love you and Dad, Dad loves you and me, you love me and dad." He loves cuddle bugs and still gives me big hugs and kisses. 

3-He is so social.  He can make friends with anyone and loves to have friends. 

4-He is very worried about who he is going to marry.  He really wants to marry his Grandma Brough's neighbor girl and often wonders "what if she chooses Landon?" Yeah, he's already kissed her... well, she kissed him but he liked it and wants to kiss her again. He played at her house over conference weekend and when I picked him up I asked him if he kissed her. He said "no" then he smiled and whispered "I should have kissed her."

5-He has THE cutest BUM! And he pretty much lets me pinch it whenever I want.  He wore his footie jammies last night minus undies. SO CUTE!  I spent the morning pinching his bum. 

I tag Alicia, Stacy, Michelle, Laurie, Georganne.

There and Back Again...

I was in Utah. I only posted once about the ABBA Extravaganza. I was too busy running around I guess or just too lazy to go get the camera out. Eli and I flew in to attend my big brothers wedding. He got married to a total babe on 10-9-08. Get it 10.9.8. Now Mike has a great anniversary date that will be hard to forget. Good wives do that for their husbands (right Stewart!)

Anyway, we had a great visit and I'm so glad that I was able to go and see my family and be there for the wedding. Everything would have been perfect except Stewart had to stay home because he's still training and the army doesn't feel bad if they make you miss your brother-in-law's wedding. Jerks. Actually it's good because I came back home to the best tank boss (or whatever they call them) there ever was. Pretty sexy. AAOOOWWW

I pretty much didn't get the camera out except at the wedding for a few pics. But here are the highlights:
-Eli worked it and got a dollar from a guy on the airplane for trading seats.
-My mom sewed me a skirt for the wedding.
-I got a pedicure with my good friend Heidi.
-I had a lunch date for me/play date for Eli with my friends Valerie and Alicia + AL's 5 week old baby!
-I managed to worry Alicia enough that she left our lunch and took her baby to the Dr. Sorry Alicia.
-Eli got to go to the wild west park.
-Eli got another b-day cake and present from his cousins.
-We had a sushi night.

-I got to see old friends at the wedding.

-I got to see all my family!

A funny story about the wedding. Mike tried to outsmart everyone and leave his car at the bed and breakfast where they stayed the night.  He thought that by doing that and leaving the reception in a limo he would be safe from the treatment he deserved.  He didn't count on Eli having none of that and forcing me to drive around until we found his car.  Sorry Mike but Eli made me do it and he did all the graffiti. I have photographic proof!

Eli and Brooklyn posed themselves and had me take a picture. Haa haa SO CUTE! Above is Eli REALLY excited to go home and see his daddy! All in all it was a great time but I was happy to come home and as Eli put it this morning: "I'm so glad this family is all together again."

My 4 Year Old Son

Here is the video that I made for Eli.  It's almost 10 minutes so you might not want to watch the full thing. It's also the rough draft. But you'll get the idea. I really like imovie.  Have I mentioned that I love my Mac?

My personal opinion is that you should a least skip to  1:08 and 9:25.  Of course all the pictures are great!  The songs are all songs that Eli has liked this year. 

Mamma Mia-Review

It was GREAT!  We were singing and dancing and right before it started the chicks in front of us said, "no singing ladies." We said, "it's the sing-a-long" and carried on with the singing. We think they didn't realize that it was the sing-a-long version but once they did they accepted their fate and we didn't have to throw down. 

Besides my mom and Stacy my cousin Carrie also came.  We just had so much fun.  The movie was 10 times better singing the songs out loud instead of singing them under your breath. And that's saying a lot because that movie is already 10 times better! ( I know that didn't make sense but I can't explain how much I love this movie.)

Mamma Mia-Invite!

Ok this could be your last chance to see Mamma Mia the sing-a-long version in the theater!  This is the last day that it will be in the theater unless it goes to the dollar theater.

So here is the info:

What: Mamma Mia! SING-A-LONG!

Where: Jordan Commons in Sandy

When: 10:10 PM (I know it's late but SO worth it.)

Who: Only fun women need bother!

My mom, Stacy, and I will for sure be there. We will be singing and dancing.
