A Much Needed Update

I've been informed by about everyone that I haven't posted any new pictures for awhile, so here is what has been going on with our little family.

Eli is all over the place. Getting into everything. Trying to do things he can not do, but tries every time. (that is why his head has a constant bruise on it somewhere). He's is so funny. I will ask him questions and he always says "yes". He can now successfully walk down the stairs with a railing, he makes it about 2 steps without one. He loves playing outside, because he can run forever and still have plenty more room to go. Some other words he says are "dog" "woof woof" "ba ba" (baa baa) "ba b" (bye bye). He can also climb into the car and get in his seat (if he wants to go in, usually we have to hog time him though). He gets into his high chair all by himself when he thinks he needs something to eat. I love him so much!!!

John is now teaching 5th grade at Diamond Valley. He is also doing his internship for his administrative endorsement, and also is teaching a college course at Dixie State. He's a busy go this year with lots to do, never a minute to relax without something due. He says it will be worth it after this year. The first semester of his internship will be at Diamond Valley and next semester will be at the high school and district office. He's doing great!

I am teaching 4th grade at Arrowhead. I also started selling Pampered Chef this month, which I am very excited to do. I have a great lady over me that is helping me to get started to pick up lots of business. I will let you know how it is going in future blogs.

I hope all of you who have said I do not post enough enjoys these pictures! :0) They are all from since my last post, and please don't ask for dates!!

Best buddies!



This picture is my absolute favorite!! Shows his tantrum so well. You might be thinking that maybe this was at the end of our session....oh no this was just the beginning...he was being a little punk.

These pictures are not very good at showing his battle wounds. Eli got in a little accident with the slide today. He tripped over the slide and face planted right into it. A few minutes after he fell he was perfectly fine.






We had a BBQ last night at Evan and Alisha's. Eli loved the corn on the cob....

We took Eli to feed the ducks at the cemetary tonight. He actually did throw some bread to the ducks this time and only ate a few pieces for himself.

Here are some pictures of the fourth of July. Eli liked the sparklers, but kept us running when the big ones came. He just wanted to walk all over the place. Hopefully next year he will enjoy then a little more.
