Walks
Elijah is growing up so fast! He stopped wanting to ride in the stroller about a month ago, and today he walked Steve for the first time all by himself. We went all the way through the park and back home-about a mile, and Elijah and Steve took turns walking each other the whole way. At first Elijah would stop every time Steve did (which is pretty often). Soon he figured out (with some help) that if he kept walking, Steve would too. By the end of the walk, Elijah was a dog-walking pro!
We went for another walk that night, and Elijah decided it was time to try pulling the wagon. He pulled all the way from our house to the park, and made all the way through the park when he finallly decided maybe he should ride for a while. It was pretty slow going with him pulling, but he did a great job. Seth loved it, and now climbs into the wagon everytime he sees it, expecting Elijah to pull him.

Some New Videos of the Boys
Sorry for the shakiness, I was pushing the stroller while taking this.
Nothing too exciting, but I haven't taken a video of Seth in a while. I'll try and get him doing something cute soon.

Elijah's Weekend With Mommy

On Friday, Elijah and I met up with two of my Guard Band friends, Cherie and DeAnn, to see the Zac Brown Band at the Red River Valley Fair in Fargo. Elijah was super excited to hear Zac Brown Band, and kept asking all day when we were going. (He knows all the songs on the CD, knows the song just after the first couple seconds of the intro, and can tell you which song comes next on the CD before it even starts-oh and he knows ALL the words to Chicken Fried) He sang along to the songs he knew, but unfortunately they only played 3-4 songs that he knew before he fell asleep at 11:00. Any time they played a song that wasn't from their CD he would tell me that they should play Mary-one of his favorite songs. Wish I would've been able to help him out... He slept the entire walk back to the car, and then woke up as soon as I put him in his seat and proceeded to chat with DeAnn who was sitting in the backseat with him. We got back to the hotel about 11:45, and then had some pizza. Elijah ate half a bread stick and an entire piece of pizza-all around midnight! His little nap must've given him a huge second wind, because he was talking and eating later than DeAnn and Cherie! He did finally go to bed at 12:30, and slept in until 9:00 (yay).
On Saturday Elijah and I met up with Teri (another Guard friend) and her son Alex at the Canad Inn Water Park. Elijah was really brave today, and went down the kiddie slide all by himself! I had to go down with him the first couple times, but then when he walked up to the slide I stayed in the pool, and he didn't realize it until he was getting on the slide. He decided to give it a try alone, and as soon as he went down the slide he said he wanted to do it again. He went down close to 20 times before I got him to do sometime else. We went on the lazy river, sat in the hot tub, shot a few baskets, and even went down the slides by the big bucket that tips over. He hated being on the stairs when the bucket tipped, and would freak each time, but he still wanted to go down that slide. Silly boy. It was a fun time!

Happy 4th of July!
Elijaha with bubbles walking along the retaining wall. The boys loved to go back and forth along the wall-if you go back to the 4th last year you'll see pics of Elijah on it then too. Elijah ended up dumping 3 containers of bubbles-he'd tip the bottle to get the wand wet, but forget to tip it back before taking the wand out...

Lunch time!
Seth eating ice cream...with his fingers...
Thank goodness Elijah knows how to eat ice cream without his fingers!
Going for a pontoon ride. Seth has a funny face because he was eating Chex Mix
Seth & Mommy

Elijah helping Uncle Ben drive the pontoon. Someone showed Elijah how to honk the horn, so he honked it, and honked it, and honked it some more. He giggled each time he did it :)
Seth eating a cupcake, and making a HUGE mess
The boys with the bear
Not really sure why, but Seth decided to hug Elijah

Sprinkler Again
Elijah loved the sprinkler-it probably helped that Destiny was running through it too. Seth wanted nothing to do with it this time.
