Look What I Found!

I found this picture on my Mom's computer. Is it not the sweetest thing you've ever seen?! I just about cried when I saw it! What a lucky Mommy I am! I love my guys!

I *Heart* This Picture!

Eli loves being able to feed himself. I think it's partly because he can shove it into his mouth faster than I could! He gets so messy. I don't enjoying having to scrub down the table, chair and floor after every meal, but he's so darn cute!

Love the orange face and hands!

Mmmm. Mac n cheese.

Uh oh!

And we're done!

Silly Eli!

Eli's Birthday Party

We had Eli's birthday party today. It was just a small party but it was fun. Eli got some cute outfits and a fun puzzle. Tyson and I made him a train cake. It turned out really cute! (I think.) While we were making it, Blaine kept asking "Eli share his cake with me?" He was pretty excited to eat cake.

His cute outfit from Aunt Whit and Cousin Kolby. I love the shorts!

Puzzle from Nana and Papa

Swimming suit also from Nana and Papa. Ü

The Cake!!

Eli was a bit confused when we all started singing.

Blaine was too!

Eli dove right into the cake!

Yummy!

What a mess!

Happy Birthday Baby E!

Eli Ren
Age: 1Year Old
Nicknames: Baby E and Cream Puff
Favorite Food: Almost anything! He is really good to try new foods.
Least Favorite Food: The fruit in yogurt. He always spits it out.
Thing Eli Likes To Do: Play in the drawers in the kitchen and climb the stairs.
First Word: Dada. I will say "Say Momma! Momma!" then he laughs and says "Dada!" Little turkey.

My Eli turned one today! I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. Eli is such a sweet little boy. I'm so grateful Heavenly Father blessed our family with him. We love you Eli! Ü

I *HEART* Music!

Blaine loves having me sing to him. I sing to him every night before he goes to bed. I sang to him when he was one day old in the NICU. It's one of the sure ways to get him to calm down when he's upset. His favorites are Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree, The Wise Man and the Foolish Man, I Hope They Call Me on a Mission and Familes Can Be Together Forever. Yesterday, while the boys were in the tub, Blaine asked me to sing "the Temple song". (I Love to See the Temple.) To my surprise, he started singing with me! Ü
