Elliott turns 4

Elliott got a pool party this year for his 4th birthday. He wanted  me to make him a fish cake. His birthday thank you gift was a bucket with goldfish crackers, water gun and a shovel. We had so much fun. Elliott's big present this year.... A BIKE! He was so happy.

Welcome to our New Home

We bought a new home this summer. Its on the same area my mothers childhood home and now my brothers home. We are excited to being moving into a neighborhood where we don't have to worry about drink vagrants walking into our yard and asking for cigarettes. We have big plans for the house.

Christmas 2012

We celebrated Christmas in Utah with our family. Elliott made out like a bandit. I love this picture with Elliott and Santa and his little stuffed animal chricken, Bock Bock.
