Memories in the making

Aaron and I are taking a family history class at church right now and we've enjoyed learning ways to research our ancestors and how we can record our family memories now for our future generations. I'm working on printing out my blog year by year because this really has been a fun way for me to keep a journal. I love pictures and blogging is so much easier than scrapbooking! 

Last week Eli and I walked to a park in our neighborhood and we loved seeing all the spring flowers. They don't stay around long so I whipped out my camera to snap some pics.    

     

On Saturday evening, our talented neighbors preformed at the D.C. Visitors' Center. They are Seventh-day Adventists and when we first moved into the neighborhood two years ago and they found out we were Mormon, they said, "Oh, we've performed at the Visitors' Center for your church before!" When they brought over a flier a few weeks ago to invite to use to their performance, we promised we wouldn't miss it! They're performing again at Christmas time!

Random pic from my phone: Eli sported my sunglasses the entire time we were at Sams last week. He cracks me up all the time. 

Sorry, these pics are out of order, but two weeks ago, Aaron and Eli experienced their first "Father/Son" camp-out with our church friends. They didn't stay the night... {Aaron wanted too. I disagreed. Maybe next year!} I started to post pics of their adventure together and Aaron insisted that he'd do it. :) So, this is a little sneak peek of what's to come: 

{While the boys were gone, I enjoyed an evening of shopping and dinner with my friend Ashley!}

And finally, Eli sure looks up to his dad. I couldn't resist taking this pic of Eli watching Aaron mow the grass. Aaron saw him and decided to take Eli out with him. 

And now back to family history, we're headed to North Dakota this weekend to visit Aaron's grandparents. I'm excited for Eli to meet them and to learn more about the Volks!
