Eli's first Primary talk

Eli talked in primary yesterday. He did great. He talked a little too close to the microphone, so it was too loud, but other than that he was fine. He told me he was not scared or nervous.

His talk was on the restoration of the Priesthood:

The Priesthood is the power of God.

The Aaronic Priesthood was restored by John the Baptist to the Prophet Joseph Smith in 1829.

Later that year, Peter, James, and John gave the Melchezdic priesthood to the prophet.

I love Jesus.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Cesar helped him by whispering the words in his ear. My parents came too.

I was so proud of him!

Great Weekend

We had a fun weekend. It's nice that Cesar doesn't work on Saturdays anymore, so we can really enjoy the weekend. It's also extra nice that he gets Fridays off too! My friend Grace gave us some free tickets to Elitch Gardens- free parking, free lunch, and free admission. It was really nice of her! We had fun despite the rainy cold day.

Eli on the little roller coaster. He went on it last summer and didn't like it so much, but this year he liked it a lot. He is so brave.

Eli got to go on stage during this show in the kid's area. He was part of their rock band.

Playing air guitar.

not the best picture, but we tried. We were all pretty wet and really cold.

We all rode the ferris wheel and merry go round together. I think Diego liked the merry go round.

The rest of the weekend was nice too. Friday Cesar took care of the boys while I had some alone time. I went to the library and read books- that is one of my favorite things to do. I've always liked libraries. They I did some shopping at Target.

Saturday before Elitch's Eli and I went to plant flowers at the temple. It was a primary activity.

After Elitch's I went out to eat with some friends from church. It was fun to talk and have a good time.

Sunday we all went to church and had a nice time.

I really look forward to weekends now and it is nice.

Flower Pot

Eli and I planted some flowers today. I've never planted flowers. Last year we planted a tomato plant and weren't too sucessful. I think it's because we don't get enough sun, so we decided on partial sun flowers this year. I'm excited. We walked over to Nick's Gardens and bought a few plants this morning. I love the idea of growing things. One day I hope to have a garden for vegetables and flowers.

Preschool in the Fall

I just registered Eli for preschool to start in August. He will be going on Tuesdays and Thursdays for two hours in the morning. I'm super excited! I'm not sure why I'm so excited about it, but I do think that he will love it.

Eli has been playing games on the computer lately. He is growing up :)! He plays all sorts of things from pbskids.org. It's cute to watch him get so excited.
