Eli's first Haircut

Eli was looking kinda crazy with his hair so we needed to cut it! It was a sad sad day. He looked so big afterwards! 

Haircut! 

Eli was not a fan of the warm towel wipe down! 

Look at that handsome boy! 

What a cutie!!!!

Halloween 2013

Halloween is always fun time for us. Liam can never pick just one costume. He has a hard time making a decision. This year was no exception. He finally settled on being a Lion from the Lego Chima set. I had no idea how I was going to make this happen. Thankfully my mom got Liam a Chima sword and shield.  I managed to find a zip up hoodie at the store with the lion on it. He was so excited. 

Our first Halloween event was at Seaworld. There was got to trick or treat around the park. There lots of cute characters to meet and see as we went along the path! Both boys loved it! Eli really loved this penguin! 

Shaking hands! 

Eli really loved this guy! 

After Seaworld, I decided that I wanted to take Liam to Zoo Boo. He loves the zoo, so I thought it would be tons of fun! Well we got a late start since we were rear-ended on our way. No worries everything was fine. We finally made it to the zoo. The line was terribly long and it was so crowded! Liam loved it but man the crowds were terrible. It was so bad that I only took one picture!

Liam in his costume. Notice the rain boots. Liam insisted on them! 

On Halloween, we did our trick or treating with the Gibbins and the McDowells. We do love our neighborhood!
Here are the little ones Eli was not a huge fan of his dragon costume! 


Liam, Matthew, Eli and Isaiah. 

All the kids. 



Man on a mission! 

Look at those kids. 

We had so much candy! 

First Day of Pre-K

 Liam started his last year of preschool.  He was excited to start. This year his teacher is Ms. Roberta! He was so excited about this year! It was hard for me. The idea of having a almost 5 year old and him moving on to kindergarden is nerve wracking to me. He is growing all to fast for me.


My big boy!

My sweet boys! 


Liam and Ms. Roberta






Seaworld with the Glenn's


Chris had one week off between freshman and sophomore semester. We were super excited that the Glenns were able to come for a short visit. Tyler and Liam always enjoy getting together. Well and Chris and Curtis also love seeing each other. We were super lucky to have a babysitter watch the the little boys. Tyler and Liam were super excited to go and enjoy some time together.  

Chris and I. Chris can never be serious. 

Getting ready to watch Shamu!

Baby Shamu






Liam was super excited, he was tall enough to ride the Journey to Atlantis ride! I was super nervous about this. Chris and Curtis went with him. The only other roller coaster he had ever been on was the baby shamu ride.
Going up! 

Here he comes


I love this picture



He loved it!!! He asks to go on it all the time now! 

Dolphin show! 


My boys! 

Beluga Whale! 


We had a wonderful day with our friends. We were sad when it was over.

Eli and the swing

We decided to spend the afternoon at the park one day. Eli loved the swing! 





Las Vegas and 173rd Airborne Reunion!

In August, the boys and I traveled to Las Vegas to help my dad with the 173rd airborne reunion. The boys did great on the plane. Thankfully they both travel quite a bit and do great on the plane. 

We ate some donuts before the flight. Eli loved it. 

Eli also loved eating all the snacks on the plane! 

So after we arrived, we had dinner with my parents. It was the perfect time for Eli to have a lemon. It did make for a great photo op. 

First bite. 

The lemon face!!!! Love it! 

Day one of the reunion. Thankfully, Frank made all the boys some great shirts! 

Liam and Noah picked up like they have never been apart. These boys sure do love each other. 

Liam and Eli laying around! I do love them! 

Ethan was so happy to help with his baby! 

My cutie! 

Liam really wanted to order me this drink, but since we just found out we were pregnant, Colleen drank it.


One day,we took the boys to the m&m factory. Liam was super excited! He does love some m&ms! We had a great time with all the m&m stuff. Liam was overwhelmed by the amount of stuff!
Cute little guy! 

He was not to happy about making me take this picture! 

He was super excited about his new m&m light saber and fan! 

This car was super exciting for Liam. A real race car! 

Showing off his new stuff! 

After the m&m factory, we wandered around New York, New York. Liam was happy to see this basketball player. 

Liam and Mommy! 

Thankfully, Nana was so gracious to watch Eli while Liam and I were out and about! Eli didn't seem to mind all the attention! 

The wall of m&ms

The red m&m! 

My dad thankfully got us a suite at the hotel. Eli was able to sleep in one room while Liam and stayed up a bit and watched TV and chatted. He loved jumping on the bed! 

I loved late night snuggles with this guy! 

The hotel had this great pool. It was perfect for the kids! Liam loved showing off his swimming. We spent all morning by the pool. It was hard to wrangle Eli but so glad to watch them play. 

Liam, Noah and Alyssa in the pool. 

My little Eli sunbathing!

The hotel had a kids arcade. On the night of banquet, Liam and I did pizza and ice cream for dinner. We also did some video games at the arcade! Liam was super excited. He loved riding the motorcycle. 

He loved this racing game! 

Ice Cream! 

He loved it so much! 

He refused to let go! 

See how much he loved it! 

We had a wonderful trip and a great time with family! It is always wonderful to get the boys together and enjoy family time!
