First of all Eli had a birthday about a month ago. He turned 4 years old. He wanted a blue dinosaur cake for his birthday and silly string (sort of a family tradition). His favorite present was his booster seat, we graduated him from his carseat. About time too, his head was 2 inches above the back of his carseat!
Then we left for our 2 week vacation in Utah. I go up every year for Women's Conference and this year David went with us for the first few days. We had so much fun spending time together as a family. David's Dad took us out fishing and it was so much fun. Here you can see what Emma and Eli spent most of their time doing, Emma is studying the fish finder and Eli is eating.
We all caught some fish and Emma ended up catching the biggest one. That night we had a party and ate the fish of our labors.
The next day we went to the Tulip Festival with David's Mom and sister. Here you can see why Catherine was their favorite "Aunt-of-the-Day".
These were my favorite flowers and no they are not tulips. Don't they look like they're straight out of a Dr. Seuss book?
I love this picture of David and the kids. Also pictured are Blondie and my niece Kaylee. Aren't they all adorable?
On Sunday before David left we went to Temple Square to see Granna sing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. After the performance by the choir we were treated to another show when President Monson gave an impromptu concert on the organ. It was awesome!
Anyway we had a blast in Utah but we were all happy to come home to our house. But we had to immediately turn around and prepare for Eli's operation. Here he is in his surgery outfit, he especially loved the hat.
Then this is the two of us in recovery. You can tell how he feels, poor little guy. But we're home from that now and he's doing very well. He's tired and sore but pretty cheerful anyway. He's going to have three tiny scars on his tummy.
And then today is Emma's last day of school this year. I can't believe she's old enough to be in first grade! Look at the difference between her first day of school and her last.
So I think that's it. Sorry about the long post. :-)
