His first gum brushing

Well, this was his first gum brushing as I said. All the gum things I found said to start 3 months or older. He didn't cry, but he made a few crazy faces. I tasted the toothpaste and it was gross, but it didn't seem to bother him.

My how they have grown!

Picture of the day

Abigail got her first pump knot. She fell and bumped her head on the concrete wall downstairs. This was the only way that Pops could keep the ice on her head!!

Growth Chart

Hey everyone. I found this chart and thought somebody might want to use it. My boy is 90th percentile in weight!

UPDATE: When I took Eli to the doctor's the other day, they said he was 16lbs 4oz. I took him today and he was 14lbs 10 oz. They were way off!!! So, Eli is in the 50-75%tile.

Can he get any cuter?

House Update

Here it is...our new crib! It is almost completely framed...woohoo! Check back and we will keep you updated with its progress.

Luke's First Gator Ride

Luke took his first ride on the gator tonight with Pops and Abigail. It actually put him to sleep! So if you call me this week and I don't answer you'll know where I am...driving my kids around the farm!

Look at those cheeks!

Flying Eli... He likes to fly with Matt.

I think he looks like Matt...

A lot of people have been saying he looks like me, but I think he looks like Matt in this picture. They both give me that same look all the time! Poor guy got my skin color though.

Roll on Eli

He's thinking about it...

He's almost there...

Here he goes...

Then he actually rolled over. I didn't get an after picture.

Just for Auntie Jan!

Look how sweet Sophie is!

Bath time
She's taking after her uncle Matt.

Man, he wants it!

County Fair... YEEHAW!

Kaleb's like... "what is that thing?"

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Abigail riding the pony.

Kaleb's beating up Natalie and Abigail has no idea.

Jeremy is SCARED to death!

Eli's Photo Session with ME!

Well, most of the 22 pictures I took were... not good. Most of them were blurry. Oh well, a couple of them turned out good. And they aren't that good... here they are.

Luke & Abigail

Michelle got her pictures back today and they are GREAT! I can't wait for her to show them off! POST THEM MICHELLE!

PICTURE OF THE WEEK

This may not look like a cool picture or anything, but it is!

Luke was tired, so Michelle put him in his carrier and put him by the dishwasher. She thought that the noise would put him to sleep. I thought it was so funny! It doesn't seem that funny now, but it was.

Close Enough

I took these pictures waiting on Tommy yesterday. I guess they are close enough for surgery pictures.

A couple of hours with Stephanie

Sophie... I'm not good with my camera at all. We've had it a good time, but I still take bad pictures. Anyways, she's so cute!

Stephanie and Sophie. Look at all that hair!

The five cousins. We've been trying to get this picture for a while now. We got it! I think Eli is almost bigger than Kaleb.

I asked Kaleb if he could hold Eli while I went and got something. Eli wasn't too happy and then it made them all laugh. Kaleb laughs when Eli crys or is upset. I don't know why, but he does. It's really funny!

No Surgery Pictures

Well, I didn't get there before they took Tommy back and I had to leave before I could see him, so there won't be any pictures. I know you guys are sad, but we will all get through it together :) I'll get some after pictures in his cast or whatever he will have on his ankle. By the way, he's out and his surgery went fine. He's still sleeping, so he'll get to go home a little later.

My BIG BIG boy!

I had to take Eli to the doctor yesterday and he weighed 16lbs 4 oz. WOW!!! Steph told me that Kaleb didn't weigh that much till he was 9 months old. Man, Eli's way ahead of the pack. Anybody else have linebackers?? I know Michelle does. I think Eli may have passed up Luke. I remember when Eli was like 8 lbs and Luke was 12lbs and I said that Luke better watch out, Eli's going to catch up with you. Oh he caught up alright! And passed him right up!

Tommy's Surgery Pictures Coming Soon

Ok, here are some lovely shots of Tommy's ankle surgery. I hope Jennifer doesn't back talk.

Pictures from yesterday
