Ethan's 4 Month Pictures

I'm just now getting around to posting Ethan's 4 month pictures (although he's almost 6 months old!!)

Elijah's 3rd Birthday Party

We had Eli's birthday party a week after his birthday. He wanted a Pirate Party (or as he called it, an Argh Matey Pirate Party!). I went a little overboard with the theme, but had SO much fun planning his party! We decided to have it at a local park at one of the shelters. It was a great idea, and really turned out great. There was a playground right next to the shelter, so the kids had a blast on that. Here's the decorations and pictures from the day. We had such a great time with our friends and family celebrating Elijah's 3rd birthday!


CANDY FAVORS


A LOT OF CHOCOLATE!


THE BIRTHDAY CAKE - IT'S ALL EDIBLE!








PIRATE CUPCAKE TOWER!


















HE STARTED CRYING WHEN WE WERE SINGING TO HIM - GUESS HE DIDN'T LIKE THE ATTENTION!


AUNT DEBBIE WAS A GODSEND! SHE HELPED WITH ETHAN DURING THE PARTY!


MICHAELA AND WESLEY WERE TRYING TO GET THE BALLOON THAT FLOATED TO THE TOP OF THE SHELTER - THEY EVEN GOT OUT THE TONGS TO GRAB IT!

ALL TUCKERED OUT AFTER THE FUN DAY!

Eli's 3rd Birthday

I can't believe that Elijah is 3 years old! It seems like the time has gone SO fast, too fast if you ask me! Elijah is such a fun boy, full of life and non-stop energy! He makes me smile so much!

For Elijah's birthday, he wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese and see Toy Story 3, so we willingly obliged :-) When Eli woke up, I had a birthday banner in the living room and Toy Story balloons for him. He had his birthday donut waiting for him too. He was so excited. After breakfast, we got ready for the day, and went to Chuck E. Cheese for some fun and lunch. Eli had a blast playing the games and the pizza wasn't too bad either. Naps soon followed, and then Vince took Eli to his very first movie, Toy Story 3. Eli was very good and sat in his seat the whole time, watching the movie and eating popcorn. Then, we had McDonald's for dinner, and opened presents! Eli had a great day, and we all crashed hard when it was time to go to bed. Here are the pictures from the day!

Eli and his Daddy

Picture Overload!

I have WAY too many pictures of the boys to post here, so I'm going to post a slideshow of the album from my Picasa album. It's pictures taken with my cell phone while we're out and about and around the house!

Enjoy!

Creation Museum

A couple of weeks ago we were able to go to the Creation Museum. I had a buy one/get one free coupon, so why not! It was a fun time and Eli LOVED seeing the dinosaurs!
