George Washington

I'm sure every little girl wakes up on Sunday morning and thinks, "I want my hair to look just like George Washington's!" Ok, so maybe not. I guess that's just sooooo 1780's! Poor Kjersti.

The Best of Both Worlds

There are many things better than a Hannah Montana song, but there aren't many things better than Kjersti singing a Hannah Montana song; Especially, when Eli is there to accompany her! Watch out Disney.

Backyard Blades of Glory

Kjersti and Eli took gold, silver and bronze at the recent, "Strong Backyard Couples Figure Skating Championships". Given the fact that the event was completely spontaneous, there was absolutely nothing holding them back from the sweep. Another helpful advantage was the fact that the French judge sold out to Cody for just a nickel. (MATERNAL DISCLAIMER: This activity was absolutely not approved by Heidi. She was horrified that we had gone out and skated atop our frozen above ground pool and wanted to ensure the world understood her position on this particular matter.)

As a top-notch figure skating couple, Kjersti and Eli really know how to bring a crowd to their feet. Not only is their form impeccable, but they sure are cute!

Pityriasis Rosea

Way back in November, Eli developed a rash like sore on his hip. I thought he may have just gotten a rug burn or something with all the crazy stunts he does and kept a bandage on it for a while. When the rash continued to get bigger and another sore developed on his neck, I took him to the doctor. They thought it was eczema and prescribed some creams for us to apply. Despite Eli's protest, we would wrestle him to the ground and apply the cream each night. The rash got worse and spread. We finally got a referral to a dermatologist last week (you've got to love military doctors) and after some testing, we finally know what is going on. Eli has Pityriasis Rosea. They think a virus causes the condition but it is not contagious. You can only get it once in your life. It may last a couple of weeks, a couple of months or even as long as a year. There is nothing you can do to treat it. So, until it decides to go away, our cute boy will be a spotted cute boy.
