NO MORE BRACES FOR ELI!

 Eli got his braces off today - just after he started his freshman year so it was perfect timing! He's no longer a little boy! 

SHENANIGANS AT RJ'S HOUSE!

 Some random things we did while at Rj's house. We tried to be gone as much as possible so we didn't get in his way to much. We went hiking a lot, we taught Emma how to play pickleball over the summer and she played a lot with Anni before Anni went on her mission, we made charcuterie boards, one day out of the blue Eli and RJ literally put on the exact same outfit, RJ would come home from work and try to shower and hurry out the door to go to Dalton's so one day I went with him on his "walk" - he was so annoyed, they hung out at their friends ALOT!! All the moms were so great about not being annoyed at me not hosting anything! Lots of family dinner too! 

ELI FRESHMAN FOOTBALL PICTURES!

So grateful that Melissa Shumway was able to take these pictures of Eli for us in his freshman football uniform. This is the first time he started looking like a man to us. We love this kid so much! He is so brave to go out there and try something new! Middle linebacker #32
