Another Post?!?

I know...2 posts in one day when I haven't had one in weeks. I just had a few more things I wanted to add and the Easter one was getting to long.

What else has been going on in our world?
We replaced the pathfinder with a 2007 Nissan Altima. It's kind of fun to have a car again! Eli is obsessed with it (well he's just obsessed with cars, trucks, buses, semis, motorcycles - really anything that has a motor), but he loves to tell everyone about "Daddy's" new car.

We've been able to have a lot of outside time. It's been such a beautiful spring. Eli mostly rides his tractor around, but takes breaks sometimes to push Colin around in his walker. Since Colin doesn't like to move it around himself - he usually enjoys the rides.

Last weekend we made a trip to Iowa for Cal and Michelle Trumm's wedding. It was a great day! Here are a few pics from the celebration (I apologize - I'm not the best at taking pictures)

Mr & Mrs. Trumm

Me and my boys (minus one)

Typical goofy face

Eli & Zoey

Eli & Aunty Kayla (hope he has this much fun at her wedding!)

Just because I loved the baby blues

Colin all tuckered out after all that dancing - Bobby's got the touch ;)


And perhaps my favorite picture of the night - Father of the Groom/Best Man dancing the night away. Love it!

Congrats to Cal and Michelle. Thanks for letting us help you celebrate!

A recent Eli story - because I don't want to forget this one. So...we all now what a "busy" child he is (busy being an understatement). Well kids as busy and rough as Eli get a lot of time outs. Perhaps he's had too many recently b/c I was recently changing Colin's diaper (pretty routine stuff around here) and Eli walks up to me with his Elmo and swings him at my leg. Pretty soon I hear this, "Elmo, you don't hit mommy! You need a TIME OUT! Here...you sit in the chair" a few seconds later "ELMO SIT!!" (like he was actually getting up). BTW - the "chair" is where Eli gets his very own time outs.

Oh and another one (I really need to write all of them down!). Me - "Good morning Eli", Eli - "Morning mommy", Me - "Eli what happened to your eye?" (he had a new cut on his eyelid and it was a little swollen), Eli- "it hurts", Me - "I know it hurts, what happened?", Eli - "Daddy hit me". Not good.......please don't say that at daycare (by the way - that is NOT what happened) - perhaps is the HUGE tractor and firetruck that he feels the need to sleep with everynight!

Lastly, after quite few months of searching, I finally got a new job. My Deloitte days will soon be behind me and now I'm on to Capella University. So excited for the new opportunity!

Ok - enough rambling (if anyone is actually still reading). We have a busy weekend ahead - our baby is 1 tomorrow and Kayla's bachelorette in Chicago on Saturday. Should have lots of pics to post!!! Stay tuned - maybe they'll be up next month.
