Rock Star and Bubbles

justin — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 03:05:15 +0000

Despite what Ozzy Osbourne may think Bubbles & Rock Stars do go together, at least for Eli.

Eli made a guitar (I’m a little skeptical that he did the whole thing by himself) at school last week and proceeded to perform for quite a while, here is a compilation of his hits:

After Rockin’ around the yard he went inside to do a little cooking….

See all the Rock Star photos.

Then this weekend we went to see the Amazing Bubble Man where Eli got to go up on stage and be put into a bubble:

All those bubbles made the little rock star hungry for a burrito:

See all the bubble photos.

Camping, A Camera, A New Post!

justin — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 04:53:17 +0000

It has been nearly a year since the last post here, we’ll try to make it less than a year until the next.

First up, I sent Eli off to Radio Shack with $40 to buy a remote control car, and he came back with a camera. Molly claims they don’t sell remote control cars anymore. Anyway this seems to be more fun for all of us, and a lot safer for our expensive cameras. Here is his first album with his camera:

He actually took his first photos with my camera in August of 2009, you can see his skills have improved a lot since then:

Finally I took Eli car camping for the first time and he had a great time. The highlight was the S’mores:

And the hammock:

T-Ball!

justin — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 21:04:27 +0000

Eli has been having lots of fun playing T-Ball in the backyard so we though the natural next step was team T-Ball, or group T-Ball anyway. After a good deal of whining we got him to bat a few times which actually went pretty well when he was facing the correct way. However fielding he found totally uninteresting:

And even managed to get himself into a fight with his own teammate:

But nothing a little rock meditation couldn’t fix:

And finally some playtime with friends:

Eli is 3!

justin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 18:00:22 +0000

We are a little late with this post, but Eli did indeed turn 3 right on schedule on March 2nd. He seems to double his intelligence with each day. Unfortunately he becomes exponentially more difficult each day.

Eli had several great parties, including a lot of fun running around Robert’s Park in Oakland with all his friends until he was ready to fall asleep while swinging.

And what 3rd birthday would be complete without a Thomas The Train cake:

Much to his mother and grandmother’s dismay Eli got a scooter from Dad (don’t worry I got him a helmet and knee pads as well):

See all birthday photos and videos.

Sea Foam Makes Me Roam

justin — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 05:00:35 +0000

We hit Ocean Beach on Saturday and were met with some incredible weather, and mass amounts of sea foam for toddler frolicking.

See all the photos from the foamy beach trip, and two pretty HD beach videos.

Or read more about beach foam from the site I got this photo from:

Playing in the Rain

justin — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 20:49:56 +0000

It was pretty rainy here today, so in between a potty training marathon Eli and I went out and explored the vast world of water from the sky.

Overall he was very impressed with his rain boots:

See all the rain videos and photos.

Eli learns to use the camera…?

justin — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 05:31:07 +0000

Eli has discovered my camera, which luckily is drop/shock proof, I’ll let you be the judge of his budding career in photography:

Camp, Pancakes and Water Fountains

justin — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 20:28:01 +0000

Ok it is been a little while since the last post so let’s jump right into it. We spent about 5 days at Berkeley Tuolumne Camp, which is not in Berkeley, but Tuolumne right outside of Yosemite. The setting was gorgeous, but Eli was sick for the first half and Molly was sick for the second half. Eli is just trying to maintain his near perfect sick on vacation record. But we did squeeze in some fun…

Eli learnt how to dance:

Did some tie dye:

Got his favorite animal painted on his face:

And hung out in the water:

See the rest of the camp photos.

In other news Eli loves pancakes:

See all pancake photos.

And finally Eli used the water fountain for the first time (at least first documented time):

See the rest of the park photos, including a car seat dance routine.
