5 Fact Friday

1. We started off this week by spending some time in Utah with family and attending a baptism. It was a sweet experience over all and really sweet to watch Eli begin to grasp new gospel concepts. He excitedly watched Sidney enter the waters of baptism and be baptized by her dad. I hope he can keep these little snippets in his memory to help him remember what baptism is about. 

2. I have fish! Eli and Emma loved swimming at the hotel this weekend. Eli was practicing his kicks and jumping in from the side. He hasn't conquered going under water, but we'll get there. Emma was a happy girl in the water as long as nobody splashed her ;) 

3. 

Do you see all those days in the 40's?!?? Hallelujah!!!! We have had a long cold spell in the 20's and I can't wait to get outside for walks again. We still have heaps of snow but I'm looking forward to that melting next week. Fingers crossed! 

4. We have found something that works for scripture stories with Eli!! We made a gum ball machine and each scripture story we read together he can glue a Pom Pom on it. The incentive was to go bowling when it was full but he's enjoying just glueing them on each time we read. 

It's so fun to see his eyes light up when I remind him of nephi or Lehi or Noah because the names are starting to stick! 

5. I'm having a mini 1/4 life crisis. Emma hasn't slept in a month, my hair is falling out from post partum hormone changes, causing me bald spots, I can't kick this cold, and I might not survive much more of this. Oh man oh man. Here's to hoping next week goes a bit better!!
