Fun Times

So much fun has been had in our house since I last posted.  We went to a park called Preston's Hope north of us.  Eli particularly loved the sandbox.  He could have stayed all day.

We also had a visit from Aunt Joni and Uncle Chase.  We all went up to Kirtland for a visit.  That was at the beginning of March.  The kids did remarkably well considering how long the tours are.  We had a nice visit with them and Eli still asks about Joni and Chase.  He sure loves his Aunt and Uncle.

Here we all are at the Newell K. Whitney Store



John Ellis and his cute smile!



Eli has become a tower building master.  He built this all on his own without my help.

Both the boys just love their Daddy.  He knows just how to make them smile and have fun.  John Ellis just laid down and cuddled up to his Daddy here.

 

We also had a visit from my parents for a few days.  It seems like whenever they come the kids seem to take giant leaps in development.  Just after they left John Ellis started crawling all over!  Eli started absolutely loving the playground.  He wants to go everyday and loves the slides and climbing all over.  I guess some of Grandpa's bravery rubbed off on him.  Thanks Grandpa!

 

We had a nice visit with them.  It is always nice to have family come and the kids love it.  They love all the attention and fun outings.  We went to Cuyahoga Falls National Park with them and saw some neat wildlife.  We also had yummy pizza.  Eli still talks about Grandpa ordering pizza.  I love that kids enjoy the little things.  It is neat to see him starting to really remember family and talk about them.
