Happy Mother's Day

This is why my mother's day was happy. (and maybe it had a little something to do with his wonderful dad, too.)

P.S. I know I need to update, and I will. Let this tie you over in the mean time.

Videos

i'm about 3 months too late with this first video. yep, you heard it folks. eli started walking at 9 months old! brag much? whatevs, I'm proud of my sweet boy.

this video is eli chastising mike. Can you tell mike points a lot? sorry it's sideways, but this was the best one.

eli loves when his pup barks at him.

As some of you may know, today is Mike’s birthday, and if you didn’t, he is accepting late gifts. He is 27 years old, so it’s only fitting that I brainstorm and come up with 27 things I love about Mike. So here we go…

balloon boy

just give eli a balloon and he'll be entertained for hours. exhibit a.

eli has just discovered sharing and he loves it! he gets so excited when you ask him to give you whatever he has.

don't mind my hiccups. and those pants, whitney got from guatemala for little e.i., don't hate.

he kept crawling behind the tree and the branches would scratch him

he wasn't quite sure what to do, so he would just sit there, frozen

he knows he's not supposed to climb up the stairs, but does it anyway

he LOVES the cute little boy he sees when he looks in the mirror

he looks JUST like me, and it shows in this picture

his new cowboy boots from grandma
