Eli and Lucy had some friends come over this morning to play. We had a big time. For lunch the kids got to make their own pizzas. They had a good time. Now it's time for nap! :)

SNOW!!!!

Well, we finally got to see some snow. We bundled up and went out to experience snow, but our outting was very quick. Since we don't have a need for snow shoes and gloves, we don't own any. It didn't take very long for Eli's feet and hands to get real cold so we said goodbye to the snow and came back in to our warm house. It was fun while it lasted and it sure does look pretty.

What?!?

I was in line at Wal-Mart this afternoon and saw a cute picture of Suri Cruise on the cover of a magazine. Her picture caught my eye so I read the caption next to it. It said something like, NO TV or Happy Meals!! Scientology Playdates! The strange life of Suri Cruise. WHAT? Since when is not allowing your toddler to watch tv and chow down on happy meals so weird? And while the whole scientology thing is odd to me, having playdates with others that are scientologist isn't weird, is it? I mean, seriously...............

Baby Henry came to visit!!!!

We got to meet baby Henry last night. His daddy, Justin, is one of Nathan's friends from Monticello. He and his wife, Megan, now live in the Boston, MA area. They came to visit some friends and family in AR and we were blessed to have them over. Isn't he beautiful?!?! He is even prettier in person. We had a little photo shoot with Henry and Lucy and here are the best shots. Thanks for coming to visit!

The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades

We were fortunate enough to spend this past weekend in Colorado with no children. Yeah!!!! Anytime I am gone for more than a day I like to find a little something for the kids. Well, I found some cutie glasses for Lucy. I also found myself some new glasses, so this morning we took a picture of us girls in our new shades. Later Eli decided he would like to wear them. He put them on and didn't take them off for like 30-45mins! I have bought him a pair in the past and he didn't wear them more than a couple of minutes at a time, but he was rocking these today :)

Happy Valentine's Day

It was sooo pretty this afternoon. Eli and I decided it was a good day to eat lunch outside, so that's just what we did. The table he is sitting at was my dad's when he was a child. :) Lucy even got in on the action. She enjoyed some peas. Everyday I feel like Eli comprehends a little bit more and a little better. It's fun to see him growing and learning. What a blessing! It is a process that is slow and yet it goes by so quickly. Some days I wonder if the whole "terrible twos" deal is gonna last forever and other days he seems soooo far from that. I don't know that I am making any sense, I am very tired. Bottom line: I'm in love with my babies and cherish every moment I am blessed with them, be it a pull my hair out moment or and awwww moment. Hope you all had a blessed day.

Eli made this little Valentine man at the library. I am so excited that he has finally reached the age where we can begin to enjoy the library.

just for fun

we didn't have blogs when Eli was smaller, so I decided to share some old pics of Eli.
