Cake Eater!!

Eli's First Birthday!!

Eli loved his costume birthday party! The kids looked adorable in their cute little costumes running around playing. Eli dressed up in his Seahawk outfit. He loved his football cake and threw a huge fit when daddy tried to help him get a better hold of his huge bite!! Eli has 11 teeth now and is pulling himself up the furniture...watch out!! He loves to feed himself and is doing pretty good with a sippy cup as long as someone is helping him! Eli is the best thing that has ever happened to Matt and I and we are very grateful for him.

Busted!!

Yesterday I left Eli alone and ran to go get something, when I returned I found him getting into Voodoo's dog dish and helping himself to some chow. I knew that someday he would try this trick but I had no idea it would be this soon. Eli is growing up so fast. He has 6 teeth now and loves to eat food more than have his bottles now. He will be a year old on the 26th!!

Pumpkin Patch on a Perfect day!!

This weekend we went to Sauvie's Island to enjoy the beautiful sunshine! The Pickell and Dooley families joined us as we wandered around all of the straw covered fields. The farmers market was amazing, we bought the biggest zuccinni I have ever seen for only two dollars!! The hot corn on the cob with butter was amazing and so was the kettle corn. The kids loved the animals in the barn and also playing in the hay pyramid. There were hay rides and cow train rides. Erin got to ride the cow train with Rianne!! What a good sport!! There are u-pick flowers in every color and size, I picked some to display on the table at home. We didnt forget to buy a couple of pumpkins to complete the trip.

Summer Canning

This summer my sister, Jami, taught me how to can fruit! It is harder than it looks but is worth it when you taste the yummy goodness! Mom and dad donated tons of jars to the effort, what a big help. Matt even joined the effort when we did pears. Jami was super sweet to let us use her house for peaches, we filled the entire kitchen with our project supplies, you should have seen it!! Thanks Jami!! xoxo

Sunday BBQ!!
