We found this new place called Bounceville about a month ago. I took the boys with my friend Kendra and her son about 2 weeks ago. The kids had a blast. It is indoor and has a bunch of blown up things to play in.

We had a lot of fun and look forward to going some more during the summer. It's nice to have more options to choose from for the kids.
Lately Eli has been very curious about using the toilet. He watches when the big boys go to the potty during the day and when they are done he will come to me, trying to get his pants/diaper off and point at the bathroom door. Whenever the boys get in to the tub they go potty first. He too has been wanting to use the potty. He will often point and grunt at the toilet. So we sit him on the toilet for a few minutes, he smiles then wants to get off. While in the tub he points, grabs, and is totally intrigued by his boy parts and the other boys parts. Well this morning I guess he didn't want to wait until bath time again. Here is a picture of how I found Eli in his crib this morning. I opened the door and had found him with his PJ's unzipped, one arm out, one leg out and his diaper undone. He had found his boy parts again. My first thought was 'please, please let it only be a wet diaper,' thankfully it was. I had to take 2 pictures, the first was a little more expo...
BOY!!!! Yes we will be adding another boy to our family. We were a little surprised that again it is another boy, but we are still excited. I have to say I did shed a tear or two over it not being a girl (this is most likely our last baby) but I am grateful that we have been able to have children and 4 for that matter. Now we will start to think of names . . . any ideas??? For those who have girls - since I will now forever be surrounded by boys - please remember I will gladly borrow your daughters from time to time. :-) Also I have finally had to give up wearing my real clothes and have moved on to maternity clothes - at least they have gotten cuter over the years!!
Yesterday we took the boys to Dollywood. We have already been a couple of times this summer and since we had such a good time we decided to go for the day. Aidan has been in school for 3 weeks already and Adley in preschool for 2 weeks. We thought the boys deserved a little trip. The weather was great - although a little warm - but Dollywood has plenty of rides that you get wet on so that helped a lot. We discovered this time around that there are rides that Eli is big enough to ride on - so he enjoyed not having to sit in the stroller most of the day. Here are some pictures: Adley & Jared on mini roller coaster Me & Eli on the bee ride - not the easiest thing for an adult to get in and out of - I thought they might need to cut the bee to free me! The Little Pig Ride Carousel - round and round they go - I got dizzy just watching Eli laughing at the kids at the Dreamland Forest - a water play place for the kids Wet little birdies Lumberjack Lift Jared was quite tired after...
