Spring Weekend

We had such a great weekend!  Friday night we spent with Bryan's brother Greg and his family.  They were in town for work meetings so we met for dinner and went swimming at their hotel after.  I didn't get any pictures but we had a blast.  Eli LOVES Libby who is 9 months older.  He follows her around everywhere.  They even fed each other bites of bread at dinner.

 

Saturday we headed up to Pocatello to see Bryan's other brother Steven and his family.  Eli warmed right up to his cousins and had a blast playing, coloring with chalk, and seeing the baby chicks. 

 

Then Sunday Miss Mabli had a birthday party.  She's officially two.  We had to wake Eli up to go to their house so he was a bit of a bear, but a very cute one :)

Freezer Paper Shirt

I love being able to copy something I see that I usually can't afford and making it my cheap version ;) I love this 'hello' sweatshirt but not the 50$ price tag. 

So I headed to Michael's and found a shirt the exact some color for....2.00$! Can't beat that! 

I found a free template of cursive hello and printed it off then traced it onto the matte side of freezer paper. 

Then I used an exacto knife to cut out the letters. Make sure you save the holes in the loops to use when you paint. 

Freezer paper is the coolest thing and it sticks when you press it with a hot iron. This makes it fool proof for painting tricky letters! 

I love it! It Makes me feel Friendly ;) and for 2$ I think I might make more!!!

Huckleberry Syrup

Last summer in Alaska we picked huckleberries. It was a fun day with a rare day off that Bryan had! 

(Side note: I can't believe how much he had changed since July! He was so bald!)

I had some still left after making desserts so I canned some huckleberry syrup! I've never made it before but it's turned out so great! 

20 months!

This little man is well on his way to turning 2! Yikes! 

He now has all 4 molars- whew!

Hes babbling lots and working on more words. I think most of the time he speaks some type of Chinese ;)

He loves to say prayers before a meal, during, and pretty much anytime he's in his high chair. He's also very reverent during bedtime prayers. 

He hates nursery! No chance of him staying there!! 

Sitting on the potty is pretty much the coolest thing ever! (Even though he's never gone on it)

We've weaned him off the pacifier to only sleeping and it's gone really well!

He still really struggles with eating people food :(

He loves to give kisses

His personality is popping out so much more lately! And he already had a lot of

Personality!

He insisted on wearing swim shorts, a beanie and a thermal today ;) 

We love him sooo much! 

Park Day

While Bryan has ice fishing with Erik, his wife and I played at the park with our kiddos. 

This is the little one I babysit and they have so much fun together. And Ashley and I love getting to visit too. Turned out to be a perfect Saturday
