One Year Young!

We celebrated an early birthday for Eli since my family would be in town.  It was so much fun to decorate and plan a party for him!  We didn't have any activities or games planned, just visiting and eating!  It doesn't feel like Mr. Eli is almost 1 since he still nurses, wakes up at night, and can't quite walk.  Maybe when he's officially 1 it'll hit me!

 "Presents?! I'm coming Mom!!"

Skyping with Grandma Patty so she can watch the present opening and cake eating

He was not super excited about eating it but played with it!

Spring Break

I have not been home To Oregon in 15 months so I am stoked to be here!! I'll post more when we get back to the desert.

First warm day!

Today the temp hit 50! Heat wave! We went for a walk around the oquirrh lake with Eli and fed the ducks. He slept the whole time.

It was so peaceful to stroll along talking about our future breathing in the fresh crisp spring air, happy little Eli sleeping.

Good day ;)

San Francisco (That's fun to say)

Brownie point to you if you can name that movie.

These pictures are a bit random since I am trying to add iphone pictures and ones from my camera, so i apologize.

Everyone's first trip on the BART

Loved the old cable cars

The famous Alcatraz

San Fran

The Wharf

What a life :)

You guessed it... the Golden Gate Bridge!

Heavenly Chocolate.  We got lots of free samples, and even splurged and bought real Ghirardelli Chocolate ice cream cones!

Crazy Lizzie hair

When in San Francisco you have to get fish & chips and clam chowder.  Check and check!

We wore the little munchkin out... he loved napping as we walked along the bay

We flew back to Las Vegas after a super fun and quick mini vacation.  Driving from Vegas to Salt Lake was  even colder than coming down!  -10 degrees?!  It actually got down to -16.  That's just mean.

This was our first real trip/vacation with a little one and it went so well!  Eli didn't fuss on the plane at all, he traveled great, slept okay in the different hotels, loved the wharf, and was so much fun to have with!

Now its back to the real world.  The Christmas decorations and tree are down, its wintery and too cold to go for walks outside, so I am trying to focus on a fresh new start.  Looking for a few fun decorations for the apartment, getting some books from the library, getting back in shape, and already looking forward to going home at spring break!!

Zions National Park

While we were in St. George we got to go to Zions National Park!  It was especially beautiful because it had just snowed and was foggy.... and COLD!
