Eli loves Fudgesicles!!!!

Saving the Day...

Estin saw a little boy in our neighborhood with a superman cape. "Mommy, I wish I had a superhero cape like that little boy so I could help save the day." Best $1 on fabric I've spent!!!

Steel Days...

Justin won hamburger buns at the craft fair. It's been awhile since he's won anything. He was so proud! :) Estin was really pleased with himself that he could keep a piece of candy in his eye! :)

My superheros

Not quite sure about the jelly filled powdered doughnut!

Estin liked it!

Fun with Stickers!

Estin got new stickers... he had fun with them. :)

Peek a Boo!

It's a Jungle Out There!...

So I did something I said I would NEVER do... I entered Eli in the Steel Days baby contest. I'm just not one of those moms and really didn't know what I was getting in to. The theme was "It's a Jungle Out There" so I whipped up a little Tarzan outfit just for kicks. A cute little black baby won...but I still think Eli is THE CUTEST BABY EVER!!! :)

Happy Independence Week!!!

Parade Day! West Jordan's 4th of July parade is A LOT better than Rexburg's! It actually has floats and things other than dance groups and tractors! :)

My patriotic little manI LOVE this boy!!!!

Estin's showing off the 5 train stickers he has pasted to his arm

Our neighbor, Patty. Eli ADORES her!!!

Wore him out!

Fireworks with Justin's family at Thanksgiving Point.

Estin HAD to ride the cow train!

What a beautiful night! (FREEZING...but beautiful!)

Experimenting with food coloring! Estin liked the blueberries I used... can you tell?

Firecrackers Sunday night at Justin's parents

They were a little bright for Estin... Eli was mesmerized!

Sparklers! (I LOVE this "fireworks" feature on our camera!)

Provo Freedom Days

That's one BIG ball of string!!!

Estin had a blast playing in his giant sandbox!

What a GREAT way to end the day!!

Father's Day...

I am SO grateful for the men in my life. I have been blessed with a good father, who helped make me into the person I am, a step dad, August, a father in law, Bob, Papa Ketchens and other righteous influences that have loved me, taught me and respected me as a woman. How grateful I am for my own eternal companion. I couldn't have asked for a better father to my children. He is my PERFECT match!

My poor little guy, Estin, got sick Sunday afternoon. TRUE fatherhood is spending the day holding a bowl and offering words of comfort. I LOVE this man!

As the afternoon wore on, Justin took a much deserved nap. Unfortunately there wasn't a lot of sleeping spaces that hadn't been thrown up on.
