I've been Bad!!

I have been neglecting our Blog and have tons to update with but find no time at the end of the day, so I'm apologizing and will put some pics. up by the end of this week. Ciao!!

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas...

This is the gate we bought to go around the tree.

This past Sunday was one of those relaxing days, when you don't get dressed until the afternoon and just decorate the house for the holidays.

While the guys hung Christmas lights outside

my Mom and I were inside putting up the tree and other decor.
Eli really enjoyed all of the lights and new toys, I mean, decorations around the house:) I love this time of year!!

Fight On!!!!

Last weekend, we spent the day at my Aunt Janie and Uncle Terry's home for the annual USC/UCLA party. We had a great time spending time with family, eating to our hearts content, and occasionally watching the game to find out the score. Like usual, we didn't get lucky when it came to buying squares. Jeff, me, and Eli were big losers, but we had a fun time anyway.


UCLA vs. USC


Yeah!! We Won!

And to end the evening, Eli was willing enough to be the girls baby doll;)

Enjoying the park

I must've been out of my mind...

I was reading up on Eli's age development and what 7-9 month olds most likely will be accomplishing. One of the milestones during this time is showing an interest in feeding themselves or eating finger foods. Hmmm...I thought to myself, Eli hasn't really shown interest in feeding himself, or maybe I haven't given him the opportunity to try. You may ask yourself, Why have I not given my child the opportunity to learn and grown through feeding himself...

Hear is the answer to that question:





I don't think he is ready yet?!
