More festivities and phone pictures

This past weekend we got together with my parents to celebrate Sam and Dad Cheney's b-days since they were out of town earlier.

Mom and Dad made a delicious lunch complete with an oreo ice cream cake that is pretty much heaven. Then the kids played outside in the sprinklers while the adults sat in the shade enjoying the gorgeous day.

It was a nice, relaxing way to spend a Saturday.

And here are some pictures from my phone.

 Our bonded leather couches from overstock.com lasted less than five years before they started to peel and come apart. I even found bits of the couch in Eli's pajamas once. So we put them up on craigslist for free. A guy in a scion came and strapped the sofa to his car. It was about the same size as his car! This was before he came back for the loveseat.

 A sweet neighbor of ours baked this delicious lemon cake thing. She brought it over about one hour after Dan and I had decided to stop eating so many sweets...

 Eli is becoming a great little eater. He's only had sweet potatoes (he likes), prunes (he likes), and squash (doesn't like). He's gotten much better at opening his mouth for the food to come in and it's only been a few weeks.

 This is a bad picture, but he's got one long hair going down to the base of his neck. His rat tail.

 A stroll with me and the littles while Dan and Sam were on a fathers and sons campout.

 I didn't take this with my phone.

Snuggles.

That's about it from here! Sam's top left front tooth is hanging on by a thread. I just want to yank that baby out. His last day of school is this Friday. Afton is sweet and super talkative. All the time. I think she's going to get in trouble for it when school starts. She's excited for kindergarten. Eli is five months and just a sweetheart. Dan is really busy with work. The end!
