Saturdays in the Yard

Spring is definitely here! Today we're hanging out in our summer family room. Our house gains a room out back each spring. Yes, it comes with extra work but it's worth it to have a comfortable yard that allows us to get out of our little house.

Eli especially loves hanging out in his jumper outside in the shade while we work on the yard. It's so much fun to be out here all together. I'm sure later in the summer it will get too hot so we better enjoy it while we can. Picnics, walks, hanging out in the shade - life is good!

Welcome to our outdoor family room. 

(Pay no attention to the messy garden in the background - that's a project for next week!)

Spring Break - Day Six

Went on an outing. Ended up in Park City. Hit the outlets - nice! Hit Redrock for lunch - nice! Huge spring blizzard started - um... not so nice. But at least we had fun!

Bathtub Time!

Little man loves his bath!! Dad was having fun dressing him up in a shower cap, and Eli doesn't seem to mind. His two favorite activities in the tub are trying to grab the running water and lying in his back kicking (swim teacher mom is excited about that one)!

Spring Break - Day Five

Thanks, Tawnicia for reminding me we only have 6 weeks of school left. It helped me not freak out that the break is almost over!!

Another cold day but we still managed a few laps around the house, lunch with Grandpa at Sizzler, grocery shopping, a visit to Home Depot, and a movie.

Have I mentioned lately I have the best baby ever!! He totally let's me do all the fun and relaxing things I crave (most of the time as long as its on his schedule). Last night he slept straight through the night (9 hours) with no Binky alerts! What a guy!



Hanging out at Macey's with grandpa and dad means ending up in strange situations - like sitting in a cart full of stuffed animals. What cha gonna do? Boys will be boys!

Spring Break - Day Four

Eli's crib sleeping update : last night he slept 9 hours with only two "binky alerts" (that's when he starts fussing and I go in and stick the stinky-binky back in and he goes back to sleep) at 1:30 and 5:30. Not too shabby!

Today was a festival of the lazy. It was cold and rainy so we stayed in and slept and watched Lord of the Rings (yes, all three). Eli concentrated his efforts on sleeping and eating - activities he has mastered very well. What a lovely day!!

Meeting Milo

Today Eli met his cousins' dog Milo. It was touch and go at first but the curiosity won over the fear and his eyes were glued on the big golden retriever.


(Interested...but a little concerned.)

Spring Break - Day Three

Let's get down to business... Cleaned the bathroom, did laundry, played, almost bought a van... another busy day!
