Sunday Funnies!

**I was talking with Eli this morning. He said "Ginger is a puppy dog." "Scout is a kitty cat." I asked "What is Eli?" His response...CUTE!!!

**We have a story in my family that my grandmother always told us. She was painting one day and up on a ladder. She asked one of the boys (my dad or my uncle) to go get her a drink of water. They did and as she was drinking this nice cold water she realized the only place they could reach water was the toilet! Well... tonight after we came home from our walk, Eli was standing in the kitchen with a full cup of water having a drink. I begin looking around to see where he could reach water. GINGER'S BOWL!! I asked him if he filled his cup up out of the dog bowl and he said "YEAH!!" YUMMY!!! And the story goes on...

**The pics at the top are from Hawaiian Falls. The little girl that is not Josie is our new neighbor and friend Ida. She went swimming with us last week but they left before we did. We were in the lazy river and some little girls were calling for their friend Maya. Eli kept saying "NO! It Ida!!"

**Josie calls me Chelle and we have been with Josie a lot lately. Eli and I were reading a book about the beach and asked "what's that?" and pointed to a seashell. I said "that's a shell." He then pointed to a starfish and asked "Josie?" "Wawa?"

Things I Don't Want to Forget...

Eli does things every day that make me smile, I am thinking of a few of them that have happened in the last day or two that I want to remember:
*Ordering a purple flush (grape slush) at Sonic
*Singing "Where Oh Where has My Paci Gone?" to the perfect tune of where oh where has my little dog gone!
*Marching down the hall in his duck towel after his bath saying "march" "march" "march"
*Hearing "goo gin Mommy" (do it again!)
*Asking for pokcorn for dinner...and NOT sharing it!!
*Picking out a matching stocking cap the last 2 Sundays for church. Yes, it is JUNE and 100 degrees here!! (That's what the pics are above.)

Popsicles Anyone??

Weekend in Oklahoma City

My goofy boy!!

Josie wasn't wearing hers head to toe when she finished!

We stopped and got fried pies in Davis...right outside of Falls Creek!

Eli and Josie's dirty little piggy toes at the party!

Feeding the ducks at the birthday party.

Beautiful Metne!

Grandma, Papa, Josie, and Eli!

As we were walking along the river, Eli would say "I HOT!" and sit and rest every chance he got!

This weekend was my Mom and Dad's 39th wedding anniversary. We met them in OKC to celebrate. Had a great time in Bricktown and the hotel pool! Eli and Josie are both part fish. They were jumping off the wall, swimming to us, and enjoying every second! I was able to visit the Oklahoma City Memorial for the first time. I am so glad I finally got to go. It is beautiful! We also got to meet my sister's best friend's new baby girl Metne and celebrate her 1st birthday. It was a very fun weekend with lots to celebrate!!

SUMMER!!

This is how I spend at least some part of every summer day. At the water park...with my boy...splashing around!! It is too HOT in Texas to do much else from June to August=) I love the time we spend there and I am amazed at the new "tricks" he does every day!!

Tank you Momma!

Tonight while I was rocking Eli he kept pointing out bug bites for me to kiss. He found several, many that I couldn't even see! Each time I would kiss one he would say "tank you, Momma, tank you." Melted my heart! That's why his craziness doesn't drive me completely over the edge=)

Other funny things he says right now:
"I Don't Know"-his answer to EVERYTHING, even when he DOES know!! The other night he was playing with one of his toys that asks where is the circle? where is the bird? etc. He kept telling it "I don't know!!"
"My Mankie"-for my blankie
"My Faci"-for my paci
"hunder"-the noise it makes when it is storming!! The other day it started drizzling and he started saying "hunder, Mommy, hunder!" Tonight when the thunder started the dog was outside. Eli ran to the door and said "Good Girl outside, no, no it hunder!" We hurried to let her in!! =)

Yesterday when we got home Ginger had had an accident in the house...it was NOT her fault! As I was trying to mop everything up Eli kept saying "Why Good Girl do that Mommy? Yuck!"

Songs he sings now:
Where Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone?
Jingle Bells (!!!!)
ABCs
The Barney Song and every time he says "a great big hug" he has to give one!

Name Tags

The church we go to has labels that you print out when you check the kids in. One label goes on their back (so they don't mess with it!), one on their diaper bag, and one stays with you so you can "claim" them after church. Yesterday after church when I took Eli's name tag off he wanted to see it. He was asking about it and I told him was Eli's name tag. We looked and he spelled E-L-I. Then he stuck it on me. I told him Mommy couldn't wear it because it said Eli. We kept talking about it and he kept spelling his name until the sticky wore off. During lunch he went to the fridge and pulled off one of his creations and tore off the corner that had his name on it. He went and laid it on Ginger's back and said "Name!" "Good Girl!!" We are all marked now=)

Last night during his bath, Eli was being a wild man. I said "Eli you are a nut!" His response "No nut Eli, Mommy nut!!" OH MY!
