'Topes Game

Memorial Day we went to an Isotopes game a little apprehensive of us being able to actually be able to sit in our seats during the game. Ami is a busy body, so we were thinking we would have to move the berm. Nope. The Isotopes lost but there wasn't any lack of entertainment. Ami cheered, danced, and looked for Orbit the entire game. She continues to talk about the game and gets really excited when she sees an Orbit cup. Eli took two naps at the game and stuck out his tongue the rest of the time. It was nice to get out to a game. We will be definitely going again seeing as how much Ami LOVED IT!!

Yep a Post

Every time I go to update I get interrupted, so we'll see how it goes.



We are soooo HAPPY to have a yard with grass in it. Scott goes out every morning and evening to look at the yard. It doesn't matter if he is running late. He goes and checks on the lawn and the garden. I find it a bit funny, but it has become his baby. I haven't done very much out there. So, I am very thankful for all that he has done for us to have a yard. Sorry we go on and on about it, but we are very EXCITED!!



We're also excited summer is here. That means isotopes games, camping, scout camp, family reunion, being outside, etc.



Ami loves going outside. I have to be careful or otherwise I'll look out and she'll be stripped down to just a t-shirt. We have touched on potty training a little since one Sunday she decided to take her diaper off twice in nursery. She doesn't get it. However she likes to sit on the toilet. She is starting to tell stories with hand gestures and everything. You can only understand about every fourth word, but it's fun to hear her ramble most of the time. Other times not so much.



Eli is growing, growing, growing. The other day Ami was in his face playing with him and he decided to grab on to her hair for dear life. She was in tears. I thought it was suppose to the other way around. I'm not sure what his deal is lately. At one point he was down to waking up only once in the night and this past week he wakes up 2-3 times. It's not helping my beauty sleep.



We're plugging along without too much excitement. That's probably good.



Pictures are posted periodically, so even if I don't post an entry there might be new pictures.

So, while posting this Ami decided to strip down to her shirt outside and play in the dog's water. How can a little person make such a mess with that much water?

Pacifier Thumb Sucker

I can't believe how fast time is passing by. Eli is 3 1/2 months already. He is growing up right before my very eyes. If you check out the newest pictures of him, you'll see what I mean. He's a mini Scott. Today he rolled over from his back to his tummy. He's becoming more and more aware of his surroundings and has started laughing quite a bit. I love to watch him and Ami interact with one another.



He loves to suck on his thumb or pacifier. But sometimes he gets frustrated with both. He'll have his pacifier in his mouth and rips it out of his mouth with his thumb. Eventually he'll get the thumb in his mouth with the pacifier hanging off it. If he is just sucking his thumb he'll start dozing off and his hand will fall and he will startle himself. It's hilarious to watch him.



This post is probably more for me than anything else. To one day remember my little guy.
