lately....

It seems like I always use the same title to my posts, but I lack a little creativity.... especially when a lot of my blog is just our daily happenings. So, here's what we've been up to lately!

September has already been a crazy month and we are only half way through it. At the beginning of the month we had our RS Welcome Dinner. It was great! It was a lot of work, but it turned out really good. Here's a couple pictures of our tables. I thought they looked super cute and I loved our taffy kebobs!

When I went to upload my pictures from my camera, I found that Will had taken like a hundred pictures. Some were pretty funny and some were actually pretty good. Here's a few he took of Eli eating lunch that I thought were pretty good!

(Love those lips!)

Then of course I had to take a shot of him, he loves to have

goofy pictures of himself taken! (above)

Last but not least, let the fun begin! Eli keeps us on our toes and is always doing something new to impress us. He has started standing up in his crib. Which means a lot of play time instead of sleeping. It also means he can reach the blinds on the windows by his crib.... we're going to have to do some re-arranging! When I went in to get him today, he was standing there with the biggest grin on his face, then was totally offended when I turned around, walked out and went and got the camera. It was pretty funny.

See? He's trying to decide if he should keep crying or if it is pretty funny.....
PS - I love the above picture, check out those teeth! ha! I love 'em.

Oh and the biggest, funnest event of the month has been the visit from my parents, brother, and sister in-law! They were here for a little over a week and we had an awesome time. It was SO much fun, I'm a little sad and homesick since they just left today. That is always the worst part about having company, the day they leave. :( We had lots of laughs and lots of good times. Good memories for sure. Now its back to work, church callings, and the daily to-do's!
