And the cow says...

Today Eli and I were watching Sesame Street (Eli favorite show). One of our favorite parts other then Elmo is Murray, the monster with his Spanish speaking lamb named Ovejita. Murray follows the lamb to a different school each day, and this time he followed her to a farm. Today when the showed the cow I made the sound the cow makes for Eli. He looked at me and then he looked at the cow and started Mooing! Jacob was walking out the door for work so I yelled for him to come back. I then rewinded it and Jacob heard Eli moo like a cow too. Later they showed chickens and I said cluck, and I swear he clucked too!! It was so cute. I am so excited to see if he remembers this tomorrow.

Memorial Day

We had such a fun weekend! On Friday we didn't really do anything special. We just ate dinner and watch the Divinci Code. (Last week we saw Angels & Demons so Jacob wanted to watch the Divinci Code again) However the real fun started on Saturday. We woke up and went to Jacob's parents house for a hair cut, then we went to the movies with the Gilmore's & Austin and saw Night at the Musuem 2. I really liked it. I thought it was so cute and funny. Then we met up with Debbie and my mom and went to lunch at Cafe Rio. After lunch Stephanie and I went shopping because Steph and Jerel were going to the No Doubt concert (or the Gwen Stefani concert...not really sure) that night. Since they were going to the concert Jacob and I watch the kids and we had a little sleep over at our house. We ate pizza, went to the park, swam, played raving rabbits, and watch Hocus Pocus.

The next morning Jerel came and picked up the kids, but they really wanted to go to church with us so Steph brought them to our ward and they all went to church with us. After church we had lunch as usual and then went home. An hour later the Gilmore's called and they still wanted to hang out so the kids came over again and stayed the night on Sunday too. We just watched the Princess Bride and went to bed this time, but it was fun because this time Chase came over.

The next morning Jacob got up before the birds and did sprint triathlon. Before any of us woke up Jacob already ran 3.5 miles, 15 mile bike, and a .5 mile run. Jacob randomly will got for like 50 mile bike rides and 10 mile runs here and there. So he had fun doing this. He said the swimming was the easiest for him. I am very impressed with Jacob because this is something I WOULD NEVER WANT TO DO. Once Jacob got back we were off to the Gilmore's for Breakfast...YUMMY! Then all 8 of us played Raving Rabbids together (Eli played with some other toys) We all had a lot of fun. At noon we went to my parent to eat and swim. Then at 5:30 Jacob and I went to Linda and Cecil's for dinner. It was fun because their backyard was so pretty and the weather was so nice. Also they had friends in town visiting from New York who are actually French. It was fun talking to them they are such a neat wonderful family.

See I told you we had a WONDERFUL WEEKEND.
(I did not take very many pictures, but these are the ones I did get)

Eli gives Kisses

Oh it is so cute. Eli understands when we ask him to give us a kiss. I was over at my parents house and Eli and I were about to leave. Debbie walked up to us and pointed to her cheek and said Eli give me kisses, and HE DID IT! Then my mom tried and he did it then too. It was so cute. Now Jacob and I asked for kisses regularly. It is so cute because he always does it, but his face always looks a little confused on why we would want him to do this.

Ethan graduates and we celebrate

About two weeks ago Ethan informed me he was graduating from Kindergarten, and he expressed it was very important to him that Eli and I come. I asked him when it was and he said he would double check with his teacher. I received a phone call a few days later from Ethan with all the info. So of course Eli and I went to Ethan's graduation. There were so many people that I didn't actually get in the room, but I did see it and Ethan was so happy.

After the graduation Jacob caught up with us, and we went to the movies with everyone. We saw Earth,which was very depressing by the way. Anyway the Eli quickly picked up on the social part of the popcorn in the movie. This video is so cute, but you have to look very closely and you will see he grabbing the popcorn from Debbie and getting his own handfuls...ha this kid is a riot.

Round and Round

We were at the mall the other day, and Jacob and I saw the carousel we thought it was a good idea to let Eli go for his first ride. At first Eli was a little confused and then he liked it and started to smile. After a while I do think he got worried and thought it was never going to stop...watch his face you will start to see the concern.

So cute

So my niece Aly finally got an e-mail address so I shot her a few e-mails cause it is really cute to see how she reacts and loves them. I remember when I used to get excited about people e-mailing me too. Any way I guess I sent Aly this e-mail about this professor claiming their is no God saying that god is evil blah blah blah. Finally at the end of the e-mail the student proves that God exists and evil only exists with the absence of God. I got an e-mail back from Aly about it and it was so cute. This is what she said....

That is the most awesome thing ever! (insert happy face here) That student sure showed that professor who is boss. And they are right! Evil is just the absence of God (insert happy face with Halo here) or the Holy Ghost, also it's sad because that professor doesn't know that god exists. (insert wilted rose here) I can't even start to imagine my life without knowing about God. (insert face with one eyebrow lifted) Awesome.... I don't know what else to say about it!

I am all choked up! I thought this was so cute it made my heart melt...I am so thankful for my sweet little Aly and her testimony!

Pato

Like I said before it is very hard to take a shower at our house lately. As soon has the shower turns on Eli takes off really fast to get to it. Then he spends the rest of his time trying to climb in it! Jacob and I have a code word that we yell which mean HURRY ELI IS GETTING IN HERE. That word is PATO, which actually means duck in Spanish. I honestly don't know why we picked that word, but now it is pretty fitting. Eli loves water and is our little duck.

One day I did not get there fast enough and our little Pato ended up all wet!!
