Bday Party #2

Grandma and Grandpa held a little Bday party for Eli on Saturday seeming that they missed the first one. It was just the family and Eli was cranky and tired... but did enjoy ripping the wrapping paper. I also did not have the energy to make him another 'healthy' cake, so we picked up a cream filled pastry.. thinking that it wouldn't be too bad. The kid just ended up throwing it on the floor, totally not interested... guess he doesn't have a sweet tooth.

ps. The only wrapping paper my parents had was from Christmas... hopefully that doesn't confuse me when I look back and can't remember anything.

Sushi Sushi Sushi

We took Eli out for sushi at Momo's (where Jesse works)... and it was fairly eventful. There was lots of food on the floor by the time we left... Eli wasn't too crazy about the selection* but he did enjoy the green tea ice cream. He was definitely the entertainment for the evening.... yelling 'oooooo' at everyone that walked through the door and at Jesse everytime he'd walk by to serve a customer. It was a pretty funny night...




*Just in case you were all wondering... I did not feed my son raw fish :)

Swingin' in the Park

Well, we are officially enjoying ourselves in Kelowna (not that it is hard). The sun has been shining the whole time, and we soaked it all in at the park the other day with Kim and Sades. It was Eli's first time on a swing... a real park swing. He loved it... almost fell out a couple times... but loved it all the same :)

party time!

here's just a few pics of eli's big day... i'll post more soon!

A year ago today....

I was in the middle of intense, hard labour....
So crazy to think that I have been a Mommy for a year, that I have a one year old, that I even have a kid!
Today we are celebrating not only Eli's first year on earth, but also celebrating that Jared and I have made it through the first year of parenting. I know there are MANY more to come, but so far... we've survived!
So cheers to Eli, the best kid in the world... and cheers to us, for being the best parents that we know how to be!
