Elai got yet another haircut.  He wouldn't sit still , so we had to just clip it all off.  So, he looks like a baldy with a slight mullet since he kept wanting to see/eat the clippers and so I couldn't get his neck very well.  Eh, he is still cute!

 We are trying to eat better, and in the strawberries we just purchased, this was the elephant man berry.
Also, the pizza is made with a cauliflower crust.  Genius.  Not too bad, but a little too eggy for me.  But, less than 600 calories for the whole thing, which was about 12 x 6 inches!

The poor garden after our weeks away

The herbs did great, though!

So did the lettuces and onions

Evan and Elai

Father-son TV time.  lol.  I think they were watching tom & jerry

The ONLY good pics of Elai and I have his hand in awkward places (face, nose, shirt).  But I liked this one, so it is being shared.

Oh!  And we took Elai swimming for the first time with Michael's dad up in Park City.  Elai was a riot!  He loved it once he realized how to splash the water.  Now we can't stop him when he takes baths!

He has teeth!
This means:
-my babe is growing up!
-he chews everything with a vengeance
-when he chews on fingers, it really hurts
-I just want to tickle him all the time to make him laugh and see how big they've gotten.

Yay for teeth!

Adventures in the NC

Sorry these are really skee-wampous, but blogger is being ridiculous and I have no patience.

We put socks on his hands so they wouldn't freeze.  He loved them.

He was hungry, too

:D Love

Erin was pretty excited. :)

Never leave your bags unattended.

The next Mia Hamm

So fun to watch the girls play soccer!

The girls looked after Elai and he LOVED it!  They are so great with him!

Reed Gold Mine

It was really cold at the entrance, but you got used to it after a while

There was a better sign, but I missed it.  It said "St. George" instead of Orangeburg.  Hahaha

Michael raved about this place.  It smells like grease when you walk in and I barely ate anything.  It was so gross.

Temple time!

Piggly Wiggly?  Oh, yes.

Clayton and Elai.  Kim and Clayton put us up for a night and let us play for a day with them and their new lil one, Hunter.  There is a pic of Kim and I, but, well, we look like death, so it will not be shared. :)

Future T-Bird!

Super Cool Bridge

He can crawl!

A frog Katie found

We panned for gold.  They showed us how.

Erin and Michael actually found some!!!  Too bad someone got thirsty the next morning. . .hahaha

North Carolina!

Finals are OVER!!!

The semester has met it's end!  We have finished all finals and moved on to our next adventure-at-the-time: North Carolina!
Julie's sister, Jen, lives out in NC with her husband and 5 (soon to be 6) adorable children.  We wanted them to get to meet Elai before he turned a year old, so out we went!
Our flight left from St. George the day after finals and we flew to Salt Lake and then on to Charlotte.
Adventures from Day 1:
-Julie's pants split at the St. George airport.  Fun.
-Elai slept basically the whole flight to SLC!  He is such a great traveler anyways, but this was sweet.
-There is a Cafe Rio at the SLC airport now.  Yum!  This is where we ate dinner.
-Elai loves puppets.  We played with some at a store and he went NUTS!  haha.  He is too cute.
-Delta repositioned our seats so we would have a space between us to put Elai/his stuff & not be too cramped on the flight to Charlotte.  I think that was nice of them.
-The east coast is humid. :)  Just saying.
-Michael discovered Julie's license is expired, so we had to put Michael on the car rental when we got in.

Michael and Elai at the St. George Airport, waiting to board the plane.

We got in super late and Dave was there to open the door (Thanks, Dave!).  Lots of adventures await us in NC!

A new job!

I have finally found a new job! I just got hired by Jimmy John's in Cedar City! I am way excited! Orientation starts on May 18th, and the store officially opens on May 23rd. Did I mention I am excited, cause I am!
