Zoo day!

Eli spent the day with me, Dawson, and Makinley (the cute kids I nanny in the afternoons) at the Denver Zoo a couple weeks ago. The weather was perfect and we were able to practice taking pictures with our camera! The kids love Eli now and ask if it is the weekend everyday so that they can play with him.

Which animal does Eli jump like?

We stayed for a long time. Four year olds can only go for so long...

Eli caught a picture of his work as we drove past it on our way home. He's only a couple blocks away from the zoo and the museum!

Birthday boy

Happy Birthday Gabriel Arcangelo Zeezrom Ezra Laconia Eli Morey!!! You are my best friend, sweetheart, shoulder to lean on, laughing buddy, and much much more. Pretty much you're the best part of my life! Even more favorite than grape or cherry. You deserve all the best - the best phone calls from friends and fam, the best dinner with veggies and fruit and pasta galore, the best night of fun, the best birthday wishes. I love you! You are my lovey! To eternity and beyond!

Mataam Fez

A couple weekends ago, we went to a Morrocan restaurant called Mataam Fez. It was quite the experience! We sat on the floor, ate everything with our hands, had a 5 course meal, watched (and danced with) a belly dancer, and laughed a lot. And we felt queasy for the next 24 hours. We had a blast with our friends Kelly & Jeff and Ashley & Jason who are living in our ward right now. Eli and I are so grateful that there are friends our age and in our same situation! The whole dinner took about 3 hours but it was definitely worth the experience.
