Its funny how when your growing up your parents are always saying "Stop growing you grow up too fast." And being your usual teenage self you shrug them off and call them weirdos. But now that i am a parent ITS SO TRUE! Eric had some time off recently and now hes back at work and he says wow its like he grows an inch while im at work!
So I finally figured out how to upload video.. lol. I know im a dork what ever..
Anyways... heres eli workin out at the high school
Saturday was Sydnee Avila's 13th birthday. Close friends and family were at her side to celebrate with 13 balloons each and a joyful singing of "Happy Birthday". For those of you who were not touched by this beautiful joyful saint, Sydnee died last summer in a car accident. She was a very bright, happy, young woman and all who knew her loved her emensley. I know everyone says this about people when they die but Syd had a very special way of wedging herself right into your heart. I know I personally was touched by her willingness to help others and make everyone feel like they had a friend in the world. We love you Syd. Happy Birthday Kid. 
So i got sick and tired of having long droopy boring hair and so i CHOPPED it all off!!! :) i really like having shorter hair. It feels so much nicer and i like that i actually look like a wife and mom now.... instead of an unwed teenage mother. lol (i hate when people assume I'm not married or that I'm younger than i am... I JUST LOOK YOUNG... sorry personal rant moment..) What do you think??
We just adopted a new Doberman/German Shepard puppy. Hes SOO cute and funny. He loves Eli and follows him everywhere he goes. If Eli leaves a room Hurley is right behind him. :)
So today was Olive Hunters birthday! If you you dont know who this little angel is she is the the daughter of our friends Kaylee & Zach... and also she is Eli's future prom date. We decided this when we were pregnant so they will just have to live with it... but hey shes gonna be a looker so i dont think Eli will have too much to worry about. lol... HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCESS!!
So Elijah loves his new swing so much hes decided to take his naps there, have his snacks there and well... do pretty much everything there. HE gets so sad when we tell him its time to get out. He hold onto the ropes and cries, "No Mama! Wing Wing!!" Its really sad and a little bit funny, well a lota bit funny.
Eli really loves his grandma, and i love that he is so close to her and gets to have that special bond. When I was grwing up my favorite relitive was always my grandma. We have a really stong bond and im glad that my son gets that with all of his grandparents as well. 
Im going to just say that we had a GREAT Easter. My family came and Eric's family were there, we had a really nice dinner and Eli of corse was so cute and he had SOooo much fun, he was such a champ at finding the easter eggs and he even found the ones that Uncle Joey hid "extra hard". I really love it when we can all get together and have such fun...
So we recently took the family down to the Sacramento Zoo. My parent used to take me there when i was a little girl and i was always amazed by all the animals. Eli must have inherited my love of fluffy furry cute things because, pun intended, he went totally ape!!! lol So all in all we had a great time, Eli thought all the animals were cats and he should try to pet them all, he was disapointed when he wasnt allowed to do so, but he still had fun. :)By the way, the last picture is a statue. Not a real monkey.
