Fun at the Park

Eli and I have been trying to enjoy time outside each day before it gets too hot. Yesterday, we went to the Murphy City Park. It is a very nice park about a mile from our house that we just discovered. Eli played on the playground for over an hour and then we walked the trails for about an hour. I just love these pictures of Eli in the swing....

Eli enjoyed the slide, but really enjoyed playing in the mulch at the end of the slide! : )

Copy Cat!

These days, Eli copies everything we do from putting on make-up and brushing our teeth to talking on the phone. Eli LOVES to watch Hunter brush and floss his teeth every night. Well, when Eli found a piece of easter basket grass on the floor, it immediately became floss in his mind. Eli "flossed" Hunter's teeth with the easter basket grass. It was so cute....he was very deliberate about each move and even tried to wrap the grass around his fingers.

Bubble Machine

Eli got a bubble machine for Easter. On Monday night, it was a little cold to play outside, so we spread out a blanket and played with the bubble machine inside. At first, Eli was a little scared of it, but he got used to the sound and then loved it! He plays with it all the time....even when I don't have a blanked or towel on the floor. : )

Baby Jack!

More of Baby Jack...we can't wait to see him again. Eli and I saw him when he was a few weeks old, but Hunter has not seen him yet. We are looking forward to their visit!!

Cousins

Eli's cousins....Justin (17), John-John (9), Jessica (3), and Jack (4 mo). They live in Alaska where there is still snow on the ground although it has started melting. We are looking forward to their visit this summer and hope to visit them in Alaska as well.

This is one of Jessica's classic looks....she was a little upset that her Easter basket broke. I guess that's what happens when you are so good at hunting easter eggs!

Happy Easter!

Coloring Eggs

Eli colored Easter Eggs at Granny & Ga-Ga's house. Here he is walking up the sidewalk to their house with easter basket in hand.

Eli was very interested in the colored vinegar/water. We tried to get him to drop the coloring tablets in the water, but as soon as we gave the tablet to him, he tried to put it in his mouth.
With a little help, Eli was in charge of all the egg coloring. Granny showed him how to drop the eggs in the water, check on them and then take them out when they were done.
