Three one year olds

Today I'm taking care of three one year olds. It's been fun and reminds me of working at SLICC and MAC.

Eli went to the zoo with my mom and Ivaras.

The last week

Last weekend we went to Evan's birthday party in the park. Evan is Cesar's sister's son- Eli and Diego's cousin. It was a nice party. Here is Eli hitting the pinata. We had fun together playing at the park and eating.
Diego at Evan's party. He likes dogs- more than I do anyways.

Monday night we went to the Botanic Gardens. The boys and I had a good time playing in the children's garden and then Cesar met us after work for a picnic dinner. It was fun to see all my boys running and playing in the nice green grass. We also met some friends there. After dinner and playing we walked around a little bit in the gardens.

Saturday and Sunday was General Conference. The boys did pretty good and Cesar and I got to pay attention pretty well. Here they are playing in the laundry basket.

Saturday we also went to the circus! It was fun. We went with LaResa and her kids. Eli had fun sitting next to Ivaras. Diego actually fell asleep while sitting on my lap for about 20 minutes- he rarely does that so he must have been pretty comfortable. We had free kids tickets from the library so it was an okay deal.

Reading

We checked out a Thomas the train book from the library a few weeks ago and Diego loved it! I've never seen him like a particular book so much. When we went to turn it in at the library he cried. We did check out another Thomas book though. The one he is reading in the picture is actually one of our books, but the library ones are always preferred :).
We started getting the Sunday newspaper so I can start using coupons. Eli really enjoyed reading the comics yesterday. He would look at the pictures and make up his own words. Both Cesar and I read some of the comics to him, but none of us thought they were funny at all! Eli definitely did a better job at making up his own words. This morning he looked through the Toys R Us ad and liked pointing out all the characters he knows.

Delaney Farm

This morning we went to Delaney Farm to work for an hour and get free food. It was cool to see the big farm and all the produce. We picked green beans the whole time. Eli and Diego helped too. Eli had a good time and Diego was good for about half the time and then just whined and wanted to be held. We got to take home a lot of pretty and colorful vegetables and fruits. Now we just have to figure out how to use and eat them all.

My Boys

Eli and Diego are such cute boys and brothers. We love them so much. These pictures were taken when Diego turned a year and a half and Eli is almost four.

Eli started preschool!

My Eli started preschool today. He is such a silly boy and laughed a lot when I showed him this picture! He loves his funny face. He will be going to school twice a week for 2 1/2 hours. He liked it today and told me all about it! His teacher is Jen and there are 5 other three year olds. He is the oldest since he will be four in only a month! He learned about the letter A and animals today. He told me he choose the right and was trying to set a good example today to the other friends. I'm so proud of him and love him so much.
