I am not sure why...

but Eli wears all of his shirts backwards on purpose. He likes the design to be on the back instead of the front.  What a weirdo.

Becoming a Grown-Up

Eli was complaining about having tacos for dinner. I told him when he turned 18 he can make us all dinner and he can pick what he wants to cook.

He said, exasperated, "What - I have to wait until I'm grown-up! I have tons of lessons to learn before then."


So, so true...

Pete's Dragon & The Treadmill

Have you ever seen Pete's Dragon? It is a weird movie.  For some reason Eli really likes it.  He was watching it today and during the scene where they are running on large barrels of beer (really not sure how this was ever deemed a "kids" movie) Eli said - "Now there is a family who needs a treadmill." Running drunk on a treadmill, now that sounds like an adventure...

Speaking of running on the treadmill, I learned a valuable lesson last week.  For Mother's Day John installed a flat screen TV in front of my treadmill.  I quickly learned that I can not watch new episodes of funny shows while running.  I about fell off the treadmill laughing at Modern Family, when Cam ran into the door, after falling in the pool.... too funny.
