Dan decided to try his hand at trimming Eli'd hair after all my failed attempts. Here are some of the action shots.

Thanksgiving Point Gardens
Tuesday I met up with family at Thanksgiving Point Gardens. It was a lovely morning wandering through the flowers and laying on the grass.
Meiners, Garfield and Hawkins ladies.
Greg was a huge help with Eli. It was nice not to have to haul around my "little" boy.
Sitting in the shade.
Me and my baby boy.
Kathryn baked the most delicious cake for my birthday. It was a carrot cake...my very favorite...and this was no boxed jobbie....this was the real thing.

Sunday Evening at Sundance
Tonight we headed up Provo Canyon and enjoyed a glorious Sunday evening at Sundance. The weather was perfect and the locale was a 10/10.
I love this picture.
Ojai Part 2
Well, tomorrow turned into a week...which is sort of how my life works. Here are some of Braddy's shots of our trip to the Golden State. Lots of great photos.
How many adults does it take to keep a few toddlers happy? At least 3.
More great bathing beauty shots of Eli. This one is a definite "show to prom date" pic.
Hike up Sulfur Mountain.
Braddy, Eli and I.
Dinner solo with a very tired toddler was a good time. Shot 1: me getting my eyes poked out...
...and me explaining to Eli why it's a bad idea.
At the aquarium in Santa Barbara. Eli is putting his hands in a shark tank. I thought I'd see where he was going with it.
Yes...his head is in the sand.
Awesome shot of a skateboarder in Santa Barbara.
Eli climbing the ice plant.
Sharing a car in Ventura.
Hanging with uncle Brad.

Trip to Ojai Part 1
I just got back from a lovely time in my favorite place. Eli and I flew out to see Brad and Crystal last Saturday and were treated to a wonderful visit with great company and tasty food. Here are some pics I took with my camera. I'll post another part tomorrow with all the pics Braddy took with with his. He got some great shots.
Here's Eli on the way out. He was pretty unimpressed with the whole airplane thing. I thought he would be more captivated by the noises and window looking-out-of but he mostly wanted to run around the plane and terrorize everyone. And airplane terrorism is frowned upon these days.
Here's Auntie/Grandma Crystal with Zayd and Eli. More of this to come from Braddy's pics, but I thought I'd give you a little preview of the fun we had at Arroyo Verde park in Ventura.
Here's Uncle Brad and Eli. I know it's a little dark but I had to get one in now of Brad and Eli. Eli became Brad's little shadow while we were there. He would run after him every time Braddy made a move yelling "BRAAAAAAA" which was funny in and of itself.
More of this good time to come too but I just had to share this pic. Crystal filled up this little tub they had on the patio and Eli and Zayd played (au natural) in it for quite a while. It was pretty funny...although I realized more than ever how mammoth my son is when he got in the tub and half the water poured out.
Beth and I met up for lunch and had a great time catching up. We were best friends way back in the day and have been able to stay in touch all these years. She works as a labor and delivery nurse at a hospital in Ventura so it was fun to pick her brain about baby related topics.

New Looks for the Garfield Family
This week Eli and I both decided to try out new looks. Eli went more for the David Boy look...get it??!!! I'm awesome.
That is not a rash...it's lipstick. My good Clinique lipstick...that now lies in rest at the bottom of the garbage in the bathroom.
He really nailed the eyes. I think he may have a career as a make-up artist. Don't tell Dan.
I went for a shorter, more conservative look. I've been thinking about it for a while...but today I bit the bullet and went whole hog. It's short. I'm liking it so far. It will take a few days to get over the shock when I look in the mirror.
Here's one of the little baby bump. Shrimpy is 13 weeks old and starting to let Mom feel a little better.
