Emily, Jacob and Elliott at the Bon Fire


Hey everyone... Elliott here. I hope everyone had a great Memorial day weekend. Mine was action packed full of fun things to do. We started off on Friday night inviting the grandparents and neighborhood kids down for a camp fire. We made smores over the fire and had a great time. We had so much fun that I lost track of time and before I knew it, it was 10pm.. I then slept in a bit in the morning and I was all ready to go on our fishing trip that we have been talking about for a week or so.
We went fishing up north to the Red Cedar Lake. It was a great day! We did not catch many fish, but there was so many other things to see too. I got to see some geese that were really close to the boat and I also saw a turtle sunning himself on a log. My mom and dad did catch a few bass, but the pan fish were not biting. I on the other hand would cast my scooby doo pole out and real it in, and almost every time I caught something! LOL I also tortured the worms for a bit and named them. Either way I had a great time and am excited for the next time that we go.
Then on Sunday we drove up to Ladysmith for a graduation party on a farm there was many dogs and two beautiful horses. We then left around 6pm and that's when we hit the storm Sunday night.. we were driving and in Cornell area. It was pretty bad. We had to pull off the road and seek shelter. Daddy got us home same and sound once the storm passed.
Monday I went to the Memorial Day parade. It was a lot of fun and I got a lot of candy. After that we went down to Uncle Aaron's' parents home and had a party on the River...
Like I said.... We were really busy, but it was great.. Till next time. Love Elliott

Hi everyone,

I am so happy that it has warmed up a bit, so I can play outside from 8am until 8pm.... I love it outside. In fact I have been waking up the past few mornings at 5:50am or so. I thought it was the weekend, so why not... my parents do not need to sleep in right. I still am doing great in my new "good boy" bed as I call it. I do not get out of it at all. Even after I am up, I still call for my parents to get me out of it.
Well on Friday I got to spend the day with Grandma Gayle and Papa Dave and they took me to Irvine Park and I got to see some of the animals. They were not all out, but I did get to see the black bears, chickens and the peacock! Then we had a picnic there.
On Sat. morning I was up early as I said above and started to help my Daddy with outside work. I helped wash the Truck and was in charge with the hose. I am not sure what he was thinking! Then after that I got to help plant grass seed. I just kept tossing it into the air and some even got stuck on my face. Then Sat. night my mom and dad got to go out on a date.. "not really sure what that is" but anyway I got to eat over at Grandma Deb and Papa Steve's house and we got to play outside in between the odd storms that we had. I helped grandma plant morning glory seeds. Then I got to go on a walk with them as well. I had a great time.
Then on Sunday.... it was back to yard work.... my parents work a lot. Anyway, my Grandma Gayle found a battery operated Jeep to Drive at a thrift sale and I loved it. I was all over the place once I learned that I have to keep my feet on the petals and steering wheel. Its really fast and I am going to be the coolest kid on their block!
After this week, we have a great Memorial Day weekend planned. I am not sure where we are going yet, but we are going fishing on Sat. I will keep you posted.
Love Elliott

Hi everyone,

I have been a really busy boy!!! I have been doing so good in my new "big boy bed". I have not gotten out of it once... I always tell my mommy that its a "good boy bed". Mommy thinks that is pretty cute.
I worked really hard this week getting ready for mothers day. Daddy and I were working hard on building mommy a bird house. I was so excited about building it, that I just had to tell mommy about it before Mothers Day. So Daddy and me put all the nails in the bird house and then painted it green and black. I picked out all the colors! Then we bought some stencils of different things and I picked out where they all were to go. I was so excited to show mommy, so when it was really mothers day, I woke mommy up with a glass of orange juice and said "Happy Mothers Day" Mommy was so happy. Then I finally got to show her the bird house that I worked so hard on and for some reason she cried! Then she said "don't worry they are happy tears. You can see it in the pictures above. I also made Mommy at Day Care a flower pot and painted my hand prints on it. It was all so much fun doing all those projects.
Well its back to the work week. I have to do some things like play at daycare, help mommy plant the garden, go on walks and maybe a bike ride. I will keep you posted. Talk to you later, Elliott
