Jack's Birthday party

Our friend's (Jed and Becky) little boy turned one on Saturday. His party was at their cabin. You couldn't have asked for a nicer day. The kids had a blast and I got some great pictures.

Whitney and Noelle

In the evening Jed had littls sparkling fireworks for the kids. Whitney was glued. Her eyes were so wide the intire time.

Elliot enjoying the day. This is one of the few pictures we got of him without his life jacket. He is all over the place so we had him wear his life jacket all day to make us feel a little more at ease.

Hanging out with Noelle on the boat. They had fun jumping off the boat together. They were both chicken at first, but in the end they were doing all sorts of tricks.

Professional Pictures

At the end of April we had family pictures taken. A friend of mine that I work with does photography on the side. She has done several family shoots for us and always does such a wonderful job. I thought I would share a few of my favorites with you.

Visit with Grandma Peg and Grandpa Todd

My mom and dad were here at the beginning of June. They came for my cousin Will's high school graduation party. The party was a great time.

Here are some misc. pictures that were taken while my parents were here.

Elliot is in to dressing himself these days. I love watching him, because he concentrates so hard and takes this job very seriously. He does a great job of getting himself dressed.

6 Months Old!

Blog Neglect!

I apologize to all you faithful blog followers for being neglectful. I have a lot of catching up to do. Stay tuned to see all the new updates! We have been very busy the last few weeks.

We have a fence.........Well sort of!!

Doug and Mavis came out the end of May to help put up a fence. We have been so excited to have a fence to keep our little monkey contained! The fence is up, BUT we don't have a gate up top, so for right now the fence doesn't do us much good. It sure does look nice though and will be even nicer once the gate is in.

Grandpa and Elliot taking a play break at the park.

While Doug and Mavis were here we had some problems with our tub, so Elliot had to take a bath in our wash basin in the laundry room. He was so excited because that is were Higgins and Cliffy (Ryan and Lorelei's dogs) get to take their baths when they are visiting.

Thanks or all your help that weekend Doug and Mavis!

Memoril Day Weekend!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! We had a busy, but fun-filled weekend. I started the weekend off with a wonderful Saturday morning at the spa. I had a facial, body massage, and a pedicure. This was my Mothers Day gift from the kids. What a wonderful gift it was!!! On Sunday we went to a friends cabin and enjoyed the beautiful weather. This evening we went to Ryan and Lorelie's for a BBQ. The pictures are from our day at the cabin. I remembered the camera for tonights BBQ, but forgot the memory card that goes in the camera (I had been downloading pictures right before we left), so I didnt get any pictures. Some neighbors of Ryan and Lorelei's were over and they had a baby 2 weeks ago. Elliot stood and stared at the baby forever. He couldn't get over that their was a baby littler then Whitney.

The boys soaking their feet in the brisk water!

Misc.

Here are some pictures that I thought were blog worthy that have been taken this past week.

Gavin and Elliot hanging out together on our bed.

Whitney loves her pacifier or pier (that is what Elliot calls it). Don't worry she can still smile with it in. She is such a smiley little girl.

Our sleepy little girl!

Whitney likes playing in her highchair after she gets done eating and this night she feel asleep while we were cleaning up the dishes.

We had been outside and Whitney feel asleep in my arms so I brought her in and put her in her crib. I thought she looked cute her little hat and snuggled next to her bunny.

Working Hard!

Whitney wants to sit up so bad. She tries so hard to pull herself to sitting position but just isn't strong enough yet. When she is sitting up she can't quite support herself on her own.

Enjoying her tummy time

Elliot got out of the bath one night and insisted on putting on my robe.
