Random Pics (spring/summer)

Priceless!

The boy LOVES the telephone...and remotes!!!

Eli has been quite interested in the potty so now he has his own, he isn't real consistent with it yet, but definitely more and more each week-I have to make sure he has something to read though. :-D

This was the first of two ears he ate, once he figured out you had to bite it I couldn't get it away from him!

Loving his swing!

Already reading at 18 months old-my child is amazing!!!

Eli LOVES to take the pot holders off of their hooks in the kitchen cabinets-which is all fun and games until I need them! :-0 He puts them on his hands and uses them like puppets.

Great teeth shot-now he is running out of room, last year @ this time we were still waiting on his first set to come in.

06.05.09: Last Day @ School

It was a tough decision but because of our crazy schedules we decided to take Elijah out of daycare for the Summer. After seeing how the summer goes we will decide on what to do for the fall.

05.30.09 The Hood-Sparkman-Thomas Get Together

Shelby doing a demonstration with Eli's car.

I think Andy is juggling, but I'm not sure! :-)

Syd and the boys (Luke, Ethan & Eli).

Meet Tyson (aka Mini-Seth)...I don't know why I look like I just got up, maybe it was because of exams that week!?! :-0

Andy, JP & Eli

Fun with chalk-too much CSI!

The next day JP & Andy went out to the Gulf, can you tell they couldn't find the sunscreen???

Emily's Recital 05.31.09

Darlene and I had the pleasure of attending Emily's first piano recital and she was wonderful! She played two pieces, one of which was Amazing Grace. Can't wait for her next recital in the winter. :-)

Beach Trip (05.17.09)

On our way to the beach...a much needed break for us all-I was celebrating getting through Spring semester! I ended up with an A, two B+'s (missed the A by 1/2 point) and two B's-it was a struggle but with the support of my family & friends I made it! :-)
We had a great time, but decided that we are going to stay longer next time...too much packing for 3 days!

Just arriving @ Daddy Don's condo; did we forget anything???

It was so hot! We headed straight to the pool.

Our day @ the beach-this was Eli's 2nd trip to the beach, we took him last July when my sister (Michele) and my niece (Kelsey) were down from Ohio.

I love sand in my nose! :-0

Nap time...it happens!

R&R for mommy!

Cheese!!!!!!!!!!

Eli just chillin @ the pool.

Eli showing off his mad swimming skills-he had just finished ISR and did great in the pool!

Headed out to dinner

Eli riding the duck...I think it is a duck!

Getting some fresh morning air on the balcony.

Happy Birthday Honey

05.06.09: We celebrated JP's birthday the night before because he went fishing for his actual birthday-as you will see they had a blast and came home with lots of fish!

This was his birthday entertainment; Riley & Eli trying to balance on their heads!
