Nose, brushing teeth, & talking on the phone

I took this picture yesterday. He loves to wear his hat backwards.

His nose is still looking bad, but It's getting better.

Eli loves to stand on his little stool and brush his teeth. I brush them first and then I let him brush them.

Trying to put his tooth brush up.

Eli loves to talk on the phone now. Well, you have to catch in when he's in the mood. Here he is talking to someone. I can't remember who.

Now he's got Daddy talking to someone. Probably pretending!

I said... "say cheese Eli" and he said cheese, but didn't turn and look at me.

Eli's Big Boo Boo!

Yesterday it was so nice outside, so Eli and I were outside playing and next thing I know he fell and didn't catch himself. As you can see in the pictures he hit his head and bounced and then hit again and got his nose. It was so sad to see my little man fall. After he stopped crying, gave him some milk, and turned on Diego, he was fine!

This is right after it happened.

This was taken last night. It just kept getting red. I thought that for sure it would be worse in the morning.

Nope, it actually looked better this morning. He's waving at me and yawning. He's fine. His little nose is a little swollen. His left nostril is swollen a little more than the right.

New House and the Croup!

Well, we had a busy busy week here. We closed on our house yesterday, I had a root canal yesterday, and I took Eli to the doctor today and he has the croup. We bought a house that needs a lot of work and Matt and I are both wondering why??? :) It's inside Clinton City and it's in the same neighborhood as Mom, Sam, Tommy, Jennifer, and Matt's Grandma. It's going to be a cute house once we are done. Sorry for the lack of posts, but we have been crazy busy and sick around here.

Eli just sitting on the floor watching Diego. You can tell his is sick. His poor eyes!

Sickness again and more pictures

Last week was a rough week here in the Kirkpatrick household! Poor little Eli caught the poo poo bug and also had an ear infection. The doctor said he was on tract for tubes. We are praying that he grows out of it very soon! This is his second round of antibiotics for his ear infection. They say that when you have 6 ear infections in 6 months or 3 round of antibiotics for one ear infection. I trust in a sovereign God, so my hope is in God!

Here is Eli with Grandad. He's making his silly face.

Here is Eli in the Christmas gift that Mom and Sam got all the kids. He loves it.

Here is Eli laying in our bed last week while he wasn't feeling good. He always sleeps with his blanket in his mouth.

Here is Eli playing with his train. I can't figure out how to put it together. Matt knows, so I will learn from him.

Pictures and More Anderson County Christmas Pictures...

Beautiful Day!

Eli and I have had a great time in all this beautiful weather! Yesterday we went on a gator ride around the farm and looked at the horse and pony and played basketball and went down the slide. Today we went to the store and came home and played outside for a bit. Here are some pictures of our time outside.

He's all boy! Love to pick up everything and check it out and see what it does.

Giving me the look...

He's holding the stick out and smiling at it.

Again, he's checking out the stick. My little quarterback :)

Random pictures...

Here is Eli eating some cheerios the other morning.

Here he is being silly! Don't you love footed sleepers? They are so cute! Too bad his huge feet are already almost too big for them.

Here is an up close and personal picture.

Sweet smile and chopped off head.

An Anderson County Christmas

So, while the boys were shooting Dad's pistol ( that is supposed to stop a brown bear), this is what Michelle was doing. This is classic Michelle. Jan, you missed this, so you can guess.... This one is for the BIG MONEY... What fictional Christmas Character is Michelle depicting here? Suprisingly enough, the boys did not find this humorous-so she rammed them... ( neither one of them was holding the gun at this point)

I will post you some more christmas pictures soon ( A super cute one of the entire Kirkpatrick family) but, this brain teaser will have to hold you over....

Zoo

Matt, Eli, and I went to the Zoo today and here are some pictures. I mostly got pictures of the animals, but I also got a few of the boys.
