Tony's friend rachel and lija

Recently Elijah has learned to do pushups here is doing his prework out warm up

Unexpected Presents!

Elijah is taking a nap right now. Sometimes he is so funny when he's sleeping. For examplay;
fell asleep praying?
Ive been trying lately to let him fall asleep by himself. I put him to bed while he is still awake and just him lay there until he goes to sleep. Sometimes there is crying, sometimes it doesnt work, and on occasion, when he is very tired, there is only silence.

This is what I found today after he went to sleep all by himself without any crying!


This is what happens when Papa Mickey puts him to sleep
So we got some fun presents in the mail the other day! Two presents! out of the blue. It was awesome!! One was from Tony's cousin Kelly and her family. It is the cutest little winter sweater outfit for elijah. Im serious. I dont have a picture of him in it yet, but this is it

Too cute!! We love it. Thank you soso much Kelly and kids!!

In addition to that my sister in law Jodi sent me a diaper bag!! I know it doesnt sound that exciting but it is the COOLEST bag ever. When I opened it, I screamed 'Its just like Jenny's bag!!!!!!' Tony didnt really know what I was talking about but Jodi had sent Jenny a bag by the same designer. It has all the little places to store things and it has a cushion that folds out and acts as a changing station!! Its pretty much amazing. And my favorite part is simply the look of it.

Thank you JooodddiiiI!!!

Here is elijah in the tub playing with his ducky he got at christmas. PS we had NO idea that the duck lights up when it touches water! neato.

Thats all for now! Tony still needs to upload pictures from his camera so stay tuned.

January? Already?

Ok make that Half way through january? Already? I know I have been less than great about updating the blog but no worries! Here is an update




We had sooo much fun visiting everybody over the holidays! Passing baby lijah around was nice also. So many different hands who all love him to pieces. He has become a spoiled baby who likes to be held all the time or given constant attention. Its like he's a baby or something.

We are gonna be moving soon and I am pumped about it. A two bedroom place! woohoooooo. space! And it will be somewhere closer to the canyon so hopefully the move will cut about 20 minutes offf of Tony's commute each way. One place that we are considering is older but it is cheap cheap and in a good location and is roomy. Im willing to sacrifice a little bit of the looks and curb appeal for that! Its even cheaper than the place (one bedroom) than we are living now! Double bonus

Here is a funny picture from new years time. This is my sis Julie with neice Lizzie. We were taking funny pictures on her laptop

Here are all the grandbaby's on my side of the family.

Mary and Tim got officially engaged! And Elijah felt it important that he be in the picture. apparently I am disgusted by this.

This is from a few months back. I thought it was funny, we dressed alike that day without knowing what the other was wearing. The weirdest part is that they are both very odd outfits. But hey, pink and green are our colors I guess

Here is Elijah bein a stud

I will post pictures from Tonys camera later.
