A Day in the Dirt

A few weeks ago Jake needed to work on homework, I needed a break from watching Eli, and Eli needed to get some energy out. To satisfy all of our needs, we all went onto our front porch while Eli play with dirt and play dough. Below are some pictures of the disaster.

Ice Cream

Tonight I made veggie chili for dinner and chocolate soymilk banana ice cream for dessert. It was a hit...

Easter

Happy Easter!! This past weekend my parents (Joanna' parents) came to visit us. We had fun celebrating Easter, watching General Conference, eating lots of grub, and just hanging out. Below are some pictures of our fun. For some reason blogspot won't let me move the pictures, so they're out of order.

Bath Time

Here (with minimal nudity) are some pictures from our last bath time. Eli took a face-plant into some concrete this week so he's got a scrape, but otherwise I think his cuteness shines through. Here you go Gin, I'm fulfilling my brotherly, fatherly, and son-ly duties by posting some pics of the boy. Love you!

Living In Luxury

Our big news since our last blog post is our move to a house a few blocks away from our old apartment. We're renting the house from our friends who were just stationed in Hawaii for the military. It is so nice to have a house to call home. The place is a small (and I mean about 10'x10' bedrooms), but it is perfect for our small little family right now. We'll post pictures at some point.

Other big news is that Eli is officially pacifier free. Yahoo!!! He was pretty attached to that thing, so I was nervous about doing it. I started the transition so that he only had it when he slept and when he was at church, so luckily it really just took one rough nap time without the pacifier to transition to sleeping without it.

I've also been doing a lot of yummy cooking lately. For some reason I have no pictures of Eli from the past month, but I do have pictures of three yummy things I've made lately (see below). I've mostly been playing around with different bread recipes, and I've gotten the hang of how to bake bread. Fresh, hot bread is so delicious!

(Homemade french bread made into garlic bread.)

(BBQ chicken pizza with hidden spinach under that cheese.)

(Banana cream pie. My first attempt at making a cream pie. It was fabulous.)

Cold Wet Stuff

Halfway through the morning UNT called it a
SNOW DAY!!!

Roll with It

Eli has a few new tricks that he can do now, and we're really excited about them.

1. Roll his hands
2. Give a high five
3. Put his arms up when you say "touchdown"
4. Run
5. Blow into a recorder

Woohoo kid. Below are his 1 year old pictures. I scanned them in, so the quality isn't great on the first two.

Bringing in the New Year Farny Style

We got to spend the New Years holiday with the Farnsworth grandparents in Idaho. This meant time with grandma...

Time with grandpa...

Time with uncles Alex and Aaron...

Even time with the squirrels...

Below are two pictures I love as well.
