Manato Park in Spokane

Manato Park is a beautiful park in spokane...that you normally visit in the spring or summer. We decided to take my parents there. It was still beautiful, but not quite as colorful as it would have otherwise been. We had fun and Eli had a blast on the slide.

Happy 1st Birthday Eli!

For Elijah's first birthday we had a party at the church with some of our family. Cody's parents and his sister Jodi's family came from Hermiston. My parents came from Utah to visit, so we had a good crowd of people. He got a little overwhelmed by all the gifts given to him at one time, but he loved the cake. We had a great time and we are grateful we were able to have some family come and share this special time with us. Thanks guys!

Eli walking a few steps...October 2008

This is one of the many practice sessions we had when Eli was learning to walk. Now he is walking like a pro!

Halloween 2008

For FHE we carved pumpkins with our friends and this is what Cody carved for our family. The other pictures are of us at the trunk or treat. Eli was a spider. I was a pro bowler and Cody was my bowling ball.

Afterward we had a party with our friends and then watched a scary movie. Good times!

Ward Party

Cody and our friend Cade were asked to sing at a ward party. They later sang at a stake thing too. They did so awesome and I am so proud of Cody! Here is one of the songs they sang. They also sang one with words they made up for our ward. It was so funny!

Playing Dress up, haha!

One Sunday Eli was wearing his cute suit for church and his friend Bell was dressed all adult like too, so we decided to take some pictures of them together. What a cute couple. (To all his other girlfriends...He still loves you too.)

Eli's first football game

We went to a game at EWU. Eli was so tired the entire time and eventually fell asleep. Not quite the reaction Cody was hoping for, but it was cute!

Eli-September!

I know it is late, but I can't leave things out. Here are just a few cute things about Eli.
