the girls…..
here are some of my favorites from our visit so far. i still have pictures on my camera that i haven’t got to yet, but i will…….hopefully soon. heather and the girls left yesterday, and i think eli is having a hard time. he’s crying really easy, and when i asked him why yesterday, he just said….”i’m a sad boy”. i think it’s a combination of missing his cousins, and being extremely tired! we had a great time. it’s so nice to see the kids together, and just playing. they change and grow up so fast! thank you heather for coming up here. i know traveling with the little ones is not easy, and i really appeciated it! love you guys! hopefully we can come for nomi’s birthday in a couple of weeks!!!!

Naomi….
heather and the girls are here visiting, finally!!! we are enjoying their visit soooo much! the boys are having a blast with their cousins. i was able to catch some pictures of nomes this afternoon, but i have very intention of getting some pics of all of them together, since this doesn’t happen very often!

please look at these little shoes heather found today! i seriously LOVE them! so does nomes! i mean, what little girl doesn’t like new shoes, especially if they are shiny!

weston 2 months……..
i had the opportunity of taking baby weston’s two month pictures yesterday! he is such a little doll, and so happy! check out the some more on my photography blog!

Cul-de-sac kids…….
we just got new neighbors over the weekend from north carolina, and they have two boys, the same ages as ours! eli has been so excited, asking when his new friends were going to get here, and when they finally met, it was like it was meant to be! this evening, they were all playing and riding bikes around the cul-de-sac, and you know me, i couldn’t keep myself from grabbing the camera, when they all sat down on the curb and were being silly! the little girl, lexie, lives in the house right between us, and the new neigbors, she is such a doll!


i’m sure you will be seeing a lot more of brandon and lance, as we get more aquainted!

working men….
this afternoon, eric and eli started a little project in the backyard. i’m sure dylan would have liked to be a part of it, but he had a rough day, and retired early…….thank goodness, because he was such a bear. he needs his naps, or we all pay for it! it gave eric and eli some more time to do some manly work…..this here is eli moving rocks, manly or not, he still has a cute little behind!

while i was taking pictures, eric brought me this pretty little flower, isn’t he sweet?

making snores….
on saturday night eric decided that him and eli were going to make smores out back and roast the marshmallows on his cookstove. eli kept calling them “snores”, he was cracking me up! by the time he ate a couple he was pretty loopy from the sugar! he sure did have fun, eric is seriously the best dad! what an adventure, and they didn’t even have to leave the house…..

can’t you see the joy all over his face?
