Pictures of Eli

Funny

Last night Morgan went to Cedar Rapids for a seminary teacher training meeting. During the meeting the teachers were talking about what they had done in class, etc.

One teacher said, "I know I should not have done this, but I let my class watch the entire film, Emma's Story."

The Seminary person leading the meeting points at them and says, "You're fired!"

Morgan raises his hand and says, "I let my class watch it twice!"




I'm glad my man has a sense of humor!

No more training

This past week we took off Eli's training wheels from his bike. This video is from that very day. He is excellent! Much better than we anticipated. The only problem is that he doesn't have confidence to start himself. So we have to barely hold on to him, to help him get started, but that he just goes straight for it! Go Eli!

John Deere Fall Fest

We heard about the John Deere Fall Fest and decided to ride our bikes and go see it. It was really fun. They had so many tractors there, smaller trackers, huge tracers, one-of-a-kind tractors. It was great and the boys loved it!

The Pacifier Fairy

Last Tuesday, (Josh's birthday) we decided to finally have the pacifier fairy come. Morgan was taking the boys outside to play so we put all of the pacifiers in a bag and left it on the bookshelf for the pacifier fairy to take away while they were outside. The Fairy came, and left Josh with a new Elmo doll.

Joshua's Birthday

We celebrated Josh's 2nd birthday on Labor day since we were in Chillicothe with our family. We had a great day. I did presents in the morning so Josh would have time to play with them before nap-time. He got a frisbee, a bunch of toy cars (which he loves!) and his big present was a new tricycle. The first thing he said when he took the blanket of the trike, was, "My bike!" He new exactly what it was and that it was for him. He's not really into sharing it yet, but he loves riding it around.
His birthday cake was a rhubarb upside down cake made with strawberry cake mix. It was great!
