A sunny afternoon in May

In case you're wondering, the two songs she is singing are Jesus Loves the Little Children and This Little Light of Mine.

that's my girl

A few weeks ago, while still in Gresham, we were driving to my (matt's) parents house.  Down the street from them is an Alpaca farm.  As we passed the field of frolicking animals Eliana exclaimed, 

"I EAT THEM!"  

Now I think she meant to say, "They are eating," but I would like to think she was just reaffirming her carnivorous heritage.

Hoppy trails

On Friday Eliana got to hang out and play with her cousins.  We went to Sky High Sports and played on the hundreds of trampolines they have in their warehouse.  Eliana played in the kids under 6 section while I played with her cousins in the dodge ball arena and the foam pit area.

Here's Ellie bouncing around

Then after our time at Sky High we went to Pump it Up to pick up one of her cousins who was at a birthday party there.  Eliana got to jump around more and go down a huge blow up slide.  She loved it!!!
I think she is a little adrenaline junky like her dad.

Like I said, dad liked the foam pit.

I wanna be a cowgirl, and papa can be my cowboy

Eliana got some new boots the other day and so Papa broke out some old Cowboy hats to complete the fun.  Eliana loved it.  I think Papa did too.

An interesting fact for you, the Slovene word for blue jeans is kavbojka (pronounced cowboy-ka).  This is because early on blue jeans were associated with cowboys.

cuckoo for cooing

Maia is 4 months old today and she is getting big.  She loves Attention just like her dad.  Here she is getting a little vitamin A.

Eliana on the phone

Here is Eliana chattin away on her auntie Lynn's old broken cell phone.  She loves inventing conversations with friends and objects like Maia's socks which she mentions at the end of the video.

Maia is 3 months old

Our littlest girl is getting bigger.  

She is up to 5.22 kg which for those of you who haven't switched to metric yet, that is 11 1/2 pounds.  She is smiling all the time and letting Sharon get some sleep at night too.  

She is getting cuter all the time.  Its so fun to see her personality come out more and more.
