Working with Dad

As much as Eli loves his mom, he loves, loves, loves to work with his dad  especially doing anything that has to do with Adam's pigeons. 

When I am home on the weekends Eli likes to wear underwear (he thinks they are pretty cool cause they have cars on them and he is BIG in to any kind of car, truck or motorcycle) So on this day Adam decided that he wanted to mow the lawn really short and start getting it ready for winter (I hate when he does it because it looks horrible we now have the ugliest lawn on the block... well almost) As soon as Eli found out Adam was mowing the lawn he got all excited and said Oh Mine!  and ran around to the garage to get his lawn mower. 

It was the cutest thing to watch, I could not resist taking pictures.  He would follow Adam where ever he would go with the lawn mower always following close behind and staying in the lines. 

Until he decided that dad was going too slow so he passed him!

It's so cute.  He wants to be just like his dad.

You are a cool dude!

He hardly had time to stop for a picture. 

Catching up..... AGAIN!

I don't know why it's so hard for me to stay updated on my blog.  Ok, maybe I do, between working full time, being a mom of two, being pregnant and sick and my Young Women's calling this just isn't on my top priority list.  Here are some random picks from our summer.

Eli and Mom.  I love my kiddos even though this little one of mine doesn't like to leave my side.  When I'm home and he doesn't know where I am he's either calling for me or asking his sister "where's mom"  even if I JUST walked in the other room.  Silly boy. 

This is Eli and his cousin Paizlee.they are too cute together.  They are such good friends and really play well. 

This summer Adam and I took a week off to have some family time.  We headed down to Beaver, Utah to go camping.  We went there because we like to go to Beaver for the 24th of July.  This is a shot from our camp site.  We are still poor enough that we just have a tent (and it's too small now)  It was a long week. 

This lake was so beautiful and peaceful except for the squirrell  that kept barking at us because he felt trapped because we placed our tent right under his tree.

Packing up to go home.  It's a good thing we have a van, there is SO much you have to take camping. 

This is a picture of Mandalyn and Eli at the Baker reunion.  Uncle Bruce and Aunt Natasha came up with the Idea of making stick horses for all the kids.  It was a great Idea and my kids still have theirs, they love them. 

As you can see Eli is thrilled with his horse.

Didn't take long to learn to ride it either. 

It wouldn't be summer without the carnival.  We took the kids to the carnival for family night during Onion Days.  It was great because it only cost $1 per ride.  Nextime we'll know not to buy enough tickets for 40 rides.  Talk about SPOILED!

Having a great time!

Oh my two cute kiddos.  They were so good to wait for me (with Aunt Mel, Thank you!) outside the Mt. Timpanogos Temple while I was there for the marriage of Adam's grandpa. 

Do they get any cuter?
