Eli Meet The Family

Elisha was introduced to my (Nicole's) side of the family. We had a family barbaque where Eli was held and adored by many relatives. It was a fabulous Sunday afternoon- just how I love spending Sundays... church with Grandpa and Grandma Great, family and food in the afternoon. Eli spent almost the entire time asleep. He was a perfect angel!

The kids always enjoy playing together!

Cleanliness is Next to Godliness...

...so Ezekiel thinks. Here is him keeping up on his cleanliness.
Papa has introduced Ezekiel to the art of smelling good with deodorant.

Shadow

Ezekiel has been a shadow to my father this entire trip. He follows him everywhere he goes and even repeats everything he says. It is actually quite cute. Here is the little shadow helping Papa mow the lawn.

Papa Enjoys His Grandson

This is one of Papa's favorite things to do with his Grandsons.

Happy Birthday Daddy

We celebrated Daddy!

We went out to breakfast as a family.
Daddy got some ramps to drive the car up on in order to change the oil! Yeah for saving some money!

We all ate cake.

We all went to Disneyland with the Reeves. Oh how we love the magical land!

In The Quiet Hours...

see what Ezekiel can do...

Yes... he takes his clothes off,
and empties his cupboards,


then he sleeps!

Two Months Already

Can you believe he is two months old? I can't!

He is now 13 lbs and 12 oz. He is cooing, smiling and can hold his head up. We love you Eli. You are amazing. We cannot believe what a big boy you are already.

One Fish, Two Fish

This year we celebrated Mother's Day on Saturday with some BBQing, swimming, and family. It was a great day. Nathan, Amanda, and Baby Abby came up to visit and we all took a trip to the pool. Even Eli got in the water. It was a great day. Ezekiel is doing amazing when it comes to swimming. He jumps in and will SWIM! It is great! Eli seems to be heading the same direction when it comes to the water. He loved it- that is until it was a little chilly out and he was cold!!!!Daddy and his boys.Abby enjoyed splashing in the water.

Abby was not too happy here.

Newest Space Ranger

Eli went on his first ride at Disneyland. We also went on Dumbo- but no picture.

Our Carnivor....

Ezekiel LOVES his meat.

Can you tell which plate is Ezekiel's and which one is Daddy's?
