Snow with Joe!

When we went to Grandma Danna's house for the weekend and Eli's cousin Joe was there too. These two boys had so much fun playing together in the snow and just being boys. The snow was nice and soft for us to pull them up and down a small hill in the backyard. Afterwords we came in for hot chocolate and they sure enjoyed it. All the rest of the weekend, they were into everything, from the toilet to the toybox to grandma's sewing room. The highlight of my weekend happend when they climbed in the closet and found some toys. Eli wanted the toy Joe had and told him, "Not a toy Joe" and took it from him. These littles ones are as much fun as they are work.

Halloween Time!

We did some photo shoots and apparantly Eli didn't want to be posed in his costume. When it came time to go trick or treating, he was a natural. He was the only kid within 2 hours of other trick or treaters and just so darn cute that the neigbors just let him keep grabbing candy from the tray. He enjoyed putting it in his bucket one at a time and wouldn't stop until Mommy told him that was enough. They would reply that's okay, he can take more. We only went to our street and by the time we were done, he had a full basket. I thought that I didn't want hime to have too much, so we stopped there instead of going on to other streets. When we left home, he was sad that when he saw our house come into view because that meant we were done.

Eli's New Sunday Clothes

The Hose!

Eli got stung by a bee and so I let him play in the hose so he could create mud. He also had fun drinking from the hose and spitting it out. AAAHHH! it was good.

Eli Likes to Share

He had some Red Vines and wanted to share with Baby Anna. She didn't seem to mind.

If I make it to five...

...it will be a miracle.

My Little Chess Player!

Grandpa created a lifesize chess board complete with lifesize (atleast to Eli) chess pieces. For family night, Jared and Grandpa played a game. They bearly got through one game until Eli took all the chess pieces off the board and moved them to the grass. They didn't dare start a second game.
