Boys will be Boys

Elijah has learned to enjoy climbing into any small place he can, including dump trucks and storage bins...

Mom's Pool Day

My Mom's-day-out-to-a-oh-so-wonderful-pool weekly visits are finally here...Carly's friend allows us all to get together once a week and use their beautiful salt-water pool...All the kids have so much fun, and we get a chance to talk, cool off (the days of 100 degrees plus are here) and do something to mix up our daily schedule...here are a few of my favorite pics...
Here is Carly, Macy and Elijah playing on the perfect step for toddlers...and yes, Carly's about ready to pop with baby Cameron (well, in about 6 more weeks)...

Elijah's taking it all in (probably thinking, "Hmmm, how can I score some more of Carly's snacks"?
Here's the whole group, missing a few mom's, but we had to capture the first swim day 2007...

Summer is Here!!!

Summer is officially here in our house, with the first pool party under our belt and Phil leaving for camp this Sunday. We have our shades on, our swim wear ready and waiting, and our sunblock to boot...summer, here we come! :-)









Here's Elijah at the 8th Grade BBQ for the Jr. High at church...the Evan's have the perfect pool for little ones...

Memorial Day Weekend Fun at Grandma and Grandpa's House

This weekend, I decided we needed to make a much needed visit to my parent's house...it's been so relaxing and such a blast to have Elijah have such fun play buddies...

Bubble fun in the backyard...

Here we are playing at the park on the slides...he's pretty fearless, at 14 mths, he's going down them all by himself and laughs the whole way!

What a Month

Well, we finally moved and are pretty much settled into our new place. We feel right at home and know that we could stay here forever...we wish we could buy this house.

Elijah has tons of room to run (his favorite game is chase). We have a play room for him and it's right next to my soon-to-be office, so I can work right next to where he plays.

Our favorite part of the house is the kitchen. It's beautiful and we love spending time in there and cooking. We had our first real dinner the other night with our friends The Pray's and it was so much fun. Entertaining is going to be a blast in this house...

Ok, so enough about the house (can you tell I'm excited)?! :-)


Here's our little guy taking a nap...sometimes they're just the cutest when they're asleep...He's getting so big.

Today Macy came over and got to hang out with us...I tried to get her and Elijah in a good shot together, but with two active children, I'm finding they don't want to stop having their fun, just so I can take their picture...I gave it my best...

Elijah was running and laughing towards me as I was taking this one.


I couldn't ever get them to stand close enough together, but I got this cute pic of Macy...

Happy Easter

Elijah enjoyed his first Easter Egg Hunt at church yesterday. His favorite part was discovering and then throwing, of course, the eggs...that's our boy! :)
