On your mark, get set, GO!!!!




It was the first day to be over 1oo degrees and Baker had a track meet. Yes, welcome to the AZ spring. Gotta love April in the desert. Monday Baker was part of a team of 4 that ran in their schools 4X100.




And...they came in first out of 4 schools.






Here is his good friend Tyson, who got them off to a winning start.






Thanks to the Eliason gene...he has become a great runner!






OH...yes he DID!!!!


Every school has those days where they try to promote "school spirit". Last week, on Thursday to be exact, our Baker woke up and said, "It's miss match day at school today". So he got ready and with much excitement went off to school.


That afternoon when he got home his first words to me were..., "MOM!! Guess what?" "What", I replied. "It wasn't miss match day today!"...I couldn't stop laughing...Poor Baker, perhaps now he'll read a calender!


We love you Baker!!

Easter 09





Easter on Sunday, when you have 8am church doesn't always work...so the Easter Bunny came after lunch this year.

The boys enjoyed finding the eggs as always but I am sad to say...I don't think Baker will be willing to carry a basket around much longer!! I think 11 is "to cool" for that kind of thing, however, candy will be welcome!

~Happy Easter~

4 years and counting...
















Owen turned 4 a few weeks ago...needless to say, I've not done well at keeping up with posts. I would like to chalk it up to school, but I've been done for a week and half and have just enjoyed doing nothing.










Owen wanted to go to the mall and get a dinosaur stuffed animal at Build-A-Bear. They don't have dinosaurs anymore so he settled for an elephant and loved the process of "building"it. He wasn't however to fond of the bell ringing and "happy birthday" at the end...too much attention?










He had a great birthday and we hope he makes it to 5 :).
