How Eli grows and grows....

Eli is precious but a bit on the wild side. He trys so hard to keep up with Zane and Jaxon that he wears himself out. I think that we may have a future baseball or football player on our hands here! If only! He is talking so much now but a majority of it has been whining. Here are a few of the words that he can say...thank you, doggie, get!(that is to the dogs), no! (especially when you say you wanna go ni ni?) la u (love you), googie is for binkie, baba (bottle), i e (ice), bobbie (abbie), gogo (bosco) and he can count to 3 also. His favorite thing to do is to wrestle with Zane and Jaxon. Go figure! The boys are all doing so well and ready for the summer to get here! 5 1/2 weeks to go. Lord help us all!

Mikes birthday

For those of you wondering or not, what to get Mike for his birthday...he has been hinting around that he wants a laptop computer. I know they are expensive but what I am trying to say is that a perfect gift would be a gift card to Sams Club. Just in case you were wondering. Plus, where has the time gone? Didnt we just celebrate his 30th not too long ago?

Spring Break

Spring Break is over so let the pouting begin...the boys got to see a movie with their little friend Riley, go to the park, they went fishing with Grandpa (what a treat..I said finally!) and spend the night, go to the beach, visit aunt Pam and now its back to school...man I'm pooped! Only 9 weeks left until summer vacation. Better start planning!

Spring is in the air

We went to Mixon Fruit Farms and enjoyed a live band and some orange ice cream and let the kids dance and feed the koi fish!

Springtime

Warm weather has finally came our way after a chilly winter (for us that is). Zane has helped daddy work on his car while Jaxon is fasinated by his DSi. Eli is saying no, nana, mommy, daddy, cookie and doggie. He is curious about the toilet and walks up to it and lifts his shirt up like the boys do. Other than that no other interest in sitting on his potty chair. This past weekend we went to Mixon Fruit farm and had ice cream and corn dogs and the kids jumped in the bounce houses. Now we hope this weekend we will be off to aunt Pams house for some needed beach time!

Eli update

Eli is just growing and giving us a run for our money...gotta keep up with Zane and Jaxon! Such a wonderful little boy! Weighs 27lbs now and has the biggest feet too! Eats like his brothers and still skinny as ever!

Happy Birthday Jaxon!

Happy Birthday to you Jaxon. Thank you to everyone for the wonderful gifts and coming to his party and making him the special boy for the day!

Our little honor roll student

Jaxon recieved an honor roll award this year and we couldnt be more proud of him!

Emerson Point

We took the boys last week to Emerson Point in Palmetto to learn about some Florida history and visit some old Indian burial grounds..plus to wear them out. We had a great time and the weather was perfect!

A New Year

It is a new year and we are so thankful for our health, our home and our families. Although last week Eli had the flu so I took him to his pediatrician and after all the throwing up and running of the nose he had a ear infection in his left ear and a rash around his mouth which the doctor said that it was infected hair follicles. Never heard of such a thing thought that it was from the drooling and runny nose. Poor little guy. Now that he has had his round of antibiotics and cream for his face it was about to rear its ugly head torward me. It is always inevitable that the mother gets what the child has. So here I am battling the flu for the past 4 days...getting better slowly but surely. The boys are so thankful for all of the wonderful gifts they recieved at Christmas...we thank you all. (Didnt know that a DSi did all that..guess thats why they cost so much...pretty cool!) Jaxons birthday is now approaching us all at a high pace coming mid February and he is already showing me commercials of what he wants. Really? Do you really need more crap? I mean stuff? Wow it never ends does it? Jaxon has also trusted me with a little known fact that he has a girlfriend. "Mom, she thinks that I am cute and funny." Well I said I know that you are cute, but funny is really where you get the girls...I told him! Zane seems to be doing better in school and in his after school tutoring that we are expecting a good report card next time around. Zane also is one of the best little babysitters that a mom and dad could have around the house. Of course we dont leave them alone but just in the room he watches and plays very well with Eli.

Christmas time

Its Christmas time..but why are we all sweating at the Christmas parade? The kids had a nice time out at aunt Pams house watching the parade and eating lots of candy. Just wanted to post some pictures of our Christmas tree and mantle...somehow all of our ornaments keep drifting to the top of the tree since we have little hands that wont stay away from the ornaments. Thank heavens there are not glass ornaments this year!
