Salt Lake Trip

Well.. I couldn't figure out how to put these pictures in order... SO I am done messing with them and so here you go. Well as you can see we made a trip up to salt lake. We all had a blast. Eli had fun playing with all of his cousins, and especially Grandpa!!! Well above, is Hayden, Jason and Eli... Laura and I thought we should take pictures for memories. And of course to have some embarrassing pictures when they decide to bring there girlfriends home.... TOO CUTE!
So we decided to go to CornBelly's Pumpkin Patch down at Thanksgiving Point. We all had a blast! It was the first time I have ever gone, and I was wondering why the heck it was my first time. It was so awesome. Above is a pictures of Eli playing tetherball and the others are of Eli, Alora, and I riding the tractor cart thing through the corn patches. I think thats how you say it! lol! We had lots of fun!

Here is Carson (Eli's older Cousin) taking Eli up to go down the slide. Eli sure felt pretty cool going with his older cousin. They went a bunch of times. I was surprised how much he liked going down the slide. He has had problems with slides since he broke his leg on one...

Eli loves Tractor rides. This one is just for the kids. Eli had to ride it as many times as he could get in. Which was only two. There were people in line, and more things to see!!!

This is probable one of Eli's Favorite things there... I know so simple huh! The life of a kid!!! You have to pump the water and get the ducky on the other side. He loved it! He ended up soaking wet and covered in mud! Haha! I enjoyed taking these pictures. Minus the stepping in mud part! lol

My sweet Baby Thad!~ He is always so good. We all took our turns taking care of him while we were there. He is seriously the sweetest baby ever!~ I love him!

This is such a cool thing. It is a jumper hill in the ground. Come on... Sweet huh! Eli thought it was kind of neat. He started off with a few belly flops on it. Then I helped push him up to the top. He didn't like it on the top of it to much because the other kids were knocking him down and jumping around him. So Alora (his cousin) came to the rescue and brought him back down. He was so nice to pose for me in a few of the pictures. Lucky me!

Grandpa Jeff... Where to start... Eli had a BLAST with him! They mowed the yard, after which, Grandpa Jeff hooked up the wagon to the back of the tractor so they could go around the block together. Haha! Grandpa would give him a popsicle while he would sit back for the ride. Grandpa pushed him on the swing, picked some cherry tomatoes for Eli to taste ( which I here he did like), went to feed the ducks, did some gardening, and so much more. And at the end of the night Grandpa saved a seat for Eli downstairs on the recliner where they snuggled and watched some tv together. I am so glad they had so much fun together. I could see so much of Luke in Jeff, it was so weird! It made me miss Luke and I was glad Eli has Grandpa while he is gone. I love you honey! We will see you soon!

So during the week we stayed at Josh and Laura's house. Which was alot of fun to hang out. Laura and I did get a girls night out! In which, I had a blast, Thanks for being such a good date Laura!! lol Anyways, they have CHICKENS! Eli loved to chase them and just watch them. He would get so made when they would go in the Chicken coop! haha! He would say, NO! GO!!!! lol My funny Eli! He would also help get the eggs out and bring them to the house. The only problem was that once he got into the house with his new found prize (an egg). He didn't want to give it up!! lol My funny kid!

Since we have been gone, Josh and Laura have done so much to there yard. It looks great! Good job with all the hard work. It has really payed off!!!

Josh was so nice to take Eli for a four wheeler ride. Which I think it was one of his firsts! He loved it! It was so much fun to watch him.

Well thanks for a great week park family! We had a BLAST!!! And for all of the help with my broken down truck! It is fixed, I am home save and sound! I love you all.. Until next time~!
