Park City

For the 3rd (or 4th) year in a row we went to Park City with Stewart's family. We stay in a condo and swim and play and shop. Vacations are the BEST!

Kindergarten Baby

Eli started school on August 4th. He was pretty excited about it...if you asked him on the right day.

He was very excited about it when I picked him up but by the evening he had determined that school was boring.

Everyday he asks if he has to go to school today and everyday when I pick him up he's happy and excited and had a great time.

He has made a few friends and likes his teacher. I'm going to be volunteering in his classroom on Tuesdays. I think this will be a successful year!

Lagoon

Notice how cute Nathan looks. (Bottom right) it's pictures like this of him that make me want to eat him up. He's just so cute.

We had a fun day at Lagoon. I love these pictures. I have been planning on doing one with just the kids to remind us of our "summer of Lagoon." I think I still might have to do one because I think that these turned out so funny!

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.)

The Toothless Wonder

Eli has lost 2 teeth since last I posted. Both times I threatened to pull it out myself so he goes and works on it until it falls out. I hate this part of growing up. When that tooth wiggles up in his gum it seriously grosses me out. Not to mention the tooth that's hanging in there all crooked and nasty. Eww.
