Christmas Temple Lights

Ely did NOT like wearing the gloves!

Mama and Ely at the Temple

Ely meet Santa...

Ely James is NOT a fan of Santa Claus...he was so nervous and scared the entire time from this very 1st picture to the last one!

Ely still emotional about meeting Santa! Still not happy...
I sat in Santa's seat and he wanted far away...

Play Area at mall

Ely loves playing at the winter play area at the mall...we go before the mall actually opens!

Ely is such a big boy...he is brave enough now to climb up the stairs and go down the slide on his bottom with NO help!

Great job buddy! You're so BIG!

1/2 marathon...Run from the Sun! Down town Mesa area
We did it!

Ely lovin some cheetoe puffs

Yum Yum in the Tum

Do I have to go back to work?

This has been the best summer ever...I get teary eyed just thinking about going back to work! I just can't get enough of Ely, I love spending every day with him. He has taught me so much about myself and I work everyday to be the best Mama and wife I can be.

(I'm trying to get him to smile and give me kisses, can you see him moving away from me? Little Stinker)
And still moving away! Not even 5 minutes after I tried to get kisses from him

Put a "sock" in it...
