Eli in his Zone....

Anyone who has ever met Eli knows that he has more personality then most. He is the funniest, and brightest little boy I know. Yeah, I am a little partial because I am his mother, but even if I wasn't, he is bright. So, Eli also in his zone is a dancing, moving, football loving, upbeat, happy child.

This first picture just kills me. The song, "look at me now", not the greatest song in the world, but Eli loves dancing to it. And the part were is says, "Look at me now", this is what he does. First pointing to himself, and then pointing to you. It is the cutest thing in the world.

This is such a Eli picture. Cute, quirky, full of life and personality. Charming, sweet, compassionate, Kind and loving. Just to name a few that come quickly to me when thinking about Eli.

Sure do love you little Man.

Innocence of a Child....

I was just watching Ethan the other day, as I often do. Just sit and watch this cute little boys mind at work. He is curious about things and focuses hard on things. I love just watching him and seeing how he handles situations and watching him trying to figure things out. He was focusing so hard on this little nerf gun. I do believe that he sat and focused on this for about 5 minutes without even moving.

Happy Pre- Halloween

So once again my pictures are totally backwards, so you get the joy of seeing our really fun day in reverse. It was such a fun day. This was actually the Saturday before Halloween. We have this really fun tradition that we usually do the Saturday before Halloween. We all go to Grandma and Grandpa Hatch's house to carve pumpkins, make some Halloween crafts and have some very nummy soups and chili. The boys look forward to this for a few weeks. And they always have so much fun.

Lara and Makalie.

Eli's Wolf pumpkin. He had a little help from daddy, but he actually did quite a bit of it.
Ethan's crazy face pumpkin.

All of our finished pumpkins. Look closely, you will see Lightning McQueen, and Mike from Monsters Inc.

I absolutely love this picture of Ethan. He looks like just did something very wrong. This kid is so precious, in so many ways.
Say Cheese......
I didn't do it. Have I mentioned how much I love this new feature on my camera. I have had a lot of fun already playing with this feature.

Ethan was even getting in on the action.



Such concentration by Eli.




What is with this face? I just wish that I could get in his head and know what he is thinking about.




Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for such a fun day. We sure love and appreciate everything that you do for us.

How do you eat your noodles?

This little boy has a personality all his own. There is really never a dull moment with him around. He just makes me laugh all the time. So I am pretty sure that I had given him a fork about three or four times and MAGICALLY it kept ending up on the floor. Yeah, Yeah, I know the good mother in me should have just taken the plate away from him until he was ready to eat like a big boy, but I'm pretty sure I couldn't stop laughing and he was being so funny.

Halloween Cruise

On Groupon a few months ago there was a deal for the Halloween Cruise on the Provo river. We are all about cheap, fun entertainment. My official opinion after actually doing the cruise.....Probably would not recommend it to any body else, kind of a waste of money. But, having the experience once was fun and now I can say we have done it. It is pretty much just a little boat ride and the river is lined with carved pumpkins. There are some pretty cute ones and some very intricate ones, but still, they are just carved pumpkins. But as I always saw, it made for some really fun, cute pictures, which counts for a lot in my book. So enjoy the cuteness.

There is this one feature on my camera that I have absolutely fallen in love with. It makes for some very cool looking pictures. Needless to say, I was having a little fun with it.

I gotta new camera.... just having a little fun
