Happy Birthday to Eli!!!

Eli - 1 month old

Today Eli turned 2!!! I can't believe it has been 2 yrs already - and that tomorrow we will be adding another little boy to our family. Eli will no longer be the baby. I think that he can sense the baby is coming - maybe that explains some of his behavior lately. Today he was in our room and went over to the bassinett and kept peeking over the edge saying - 'baby, baby'. Jared told him that is where the baby will sleep - he responded 'baby nigh nigh'. I wonder how he will adjust to the new baby - time will tell!
This morning we gave Eli one of his presents so that Aidan could watch - it was a Lego tractor - he loved it. He loves anything Lego - just like his brothers and daddy.
Tonight we had Jared's family over for a party. We ate pizza, salad and of course cake and ice cream. Eli liked playing with his cousins and getting more cars and Legos for his presents. Jared and I made his cake - this year we decided to do a sea turtle - it is one word that Eli can say clearly and they are cute. He liked it.

Singing happy birthday to Eli!

Eli's cake

**FYI - we will probably not be able to post pictures of the new baby until Wed or Thurs - we will try to send out an email though. Also our baby name list changed so most of you will probably be surprised when we announce his name. We still haven't decided yet - we have narrowed it down though. We'll keep you posted!!!

Dollywood

Liam's first time on River Rampage - he got drenched but loved every minute of it! Doesn't he look so small! We wanted to do one last fun summer trip for the boys before school starts this Thursday. We took a day trip to Dollywood. We got there a little after the park opened and it was not very crowded at all. We walked on almost every ride and if we had to wait it wasn't longer than a few minutes. Last time we were there in May Adley was just shy of being able to ride all the big rides. We learned about a place where they will measure you and give you an armband that has the appropriate color that corresponds with your height category. This way you are measured once and simply just have to show your armband to get on the ride. Adley was thrilled that he was tall enough this time to ride any ride in the park. Eli and Liam also got moved up to the next category. Thank goodness for Eli because this kid has been dying to ride more rides. He and Adley are not afr...

Mickey Mouse

Mickey is a very loved mouse in our house. Liam absolutely can't get enough of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on Disney. When he wakes up in the morning he comes straight to my room, snuggles in between Jared and I and turns on the tv for his cartoon. He sits there with his arms behind his head and legs outstretched. He is so darn cute. So the other day I decided to buy him a stuffed Mickey. He was so surprised and loved it. Checking him out. Mickey now has his own corner in Liam's crib. He likes his 'pets' in specific places. Also, guess who is potty training???? The only kiddo I have left in diapers - woot woot!!! He has started this all on his own and so I'm optimistically hoping for December to be down to pull ups at night. Liam won't speak to tell us he has to go he just pats himself and points to the bathroom - whatever works right! And here is our very first tomato from our tiny 1 plant garden....... We have a few more and hope they will ...

It's been a while . . .

since I last posted. We have been so busy this month. Adley had his Christmas program at his preschool - they studied Italy and dressed so cute. They sang the song, "when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore . . ." (not sure of the exact title). Adley has sung it several times since to many people. I think he might be musical when he gets older. We all recovered from our sickness and made the journey to Arizona to see my family. We spent 12 days there and had a wonderful time. Surprisingly it was warmer here at home while we were gone then it was in Arizona. We got to go to the Lego store, which the boys loved. We played at a really fun park, visited with friends, made a gingerbread house and sugar cookies, ate at our favorite places, went to the movies, enjoyed a visit from Santa at the house and tried to get in some rest. We had family pictures taken for the first time in 5 years since my brothers were gone on their missions. We finally g...
