4th of July in Utah

We flew to Utah on the 4th of July, just in time for the festivities. Everyone accept Melissa were there. She came a few days later. It was a full house just like Christmas time.

Fish Lake

There is a lake that is a few miles from our house. We went with our friends to swim and have a BBQ. It was awesome!

Eli's Teeth

Eli actually got his first tooth pocking through when we was six months old (he is now 8 months), but I am just now getting around to posting the picture. They are much bigger now.

Playing in Hermiston

Beau was getting Eli to laugh a lot when he was playing with him.

Uncle Jason has the touch!

I don't know who is more tired, Grandma or Elijah.

Food, Four- wheeling,and Fishing

We went up to Penland Lake with Cody's family. We had a picnic and we fished. We also rode the four- wheelers. I think almost everyone caught a fish too.

This is Cody's and his dad's fishing spot.

The dirt on Beau's face is just a fraction of what Josh and Kimmy got. They had fun on their ride.

Grandpa and Masey playing games. They are two peas in a pod.

Eli getting some loves from Aunt Jodi.

Some of Eli's cute things

Eli has a cute personality and he is so smart. These are a few of the cute things he has been doing lately.

Last Hoorah!

Our friends the Browns and the Coulsons were moving and some people graduated, so we had FHE at the park to celebrate and to say goodbye. It was fun, but we sure do miss them. They are both amazing families and we love them so much!

We love Applesauce!

Whenever Eli eats Applesauce he makes a "bitter beer" face. It is so funny to watch his reaction. It must be because it is a little more chunky than what he is used to.

Cody tried to imitate the face, but it is hard to duplicate something so cute.

Employee of the Month!

Cody is our awesome Daddy! He does such good work and his employers really notice. We are so proud!

Mini Swimming Pool

I got the pool for Eli, so we could swim whenever we want. It turns out he is as big as the pool. He still loved to splash and play.

Fisrt Time Fishing

Cody's work goes fishing a lot, so they invited Eli and I to come one time. It was a lot of fun and we even caught some fish. Cody got a fishing pole for Father's Day, so he can go anytime now.

Our new couch

My brother Kevin was so nice to give us his futon when we moved because we didn't have a couch. We loved it to death literally! We had a bad habit of sitting in the same spot every time and eventually it wouldn't support us anymore. We decided to retire it and find a new seating arrangement. Here is the old and then the new.

Playing with Daddy

Sometimes when Daddy comes home we go outside and play on the hill. Eli loves it!
