Summer Sunshine!

Today was the first day it was warm enough for us to break out the sprinkler and little pool!

Grace and Eli had so much fun! We sure do love summer! =)

Memorial Weekend

We had a great weekend with guests at our house :)

Teresa (Heather's childhood friend) and

her family came to stay with us.

It was great to have them...although the weekend went by too fast!

Here's Eli and Gracie with Ricky! Ready to read stories and go to sleep for the night! :)

Eli saying "Cheese" for the camera!

(I have him well trained ;)

On Saturday, we went for a wagon ride to the park!

Grace was excited to swing!

So much fun on the slide!

Gracie, Eli, and Ricky making music! :)

Driving home! :)

Even Dave was having fun!

Maybe a little too much fun!

Guess this is what happens when you spin yourself too fast... :)

Eli was tuckered out on the way home!

Little Helper!

Here's Eli "helping" with the laundry! :)

Vehicle Fair

Today, we went to the fairgrounds for a vehicle fair!

Eli...very excited to be going for a ride :)

Gracie just liked looking at all the big trucks and machinery.

This is about as close to any of the vehicles that she got! :)

Enjoying some milk from the milk truck!

Grace and Eli's first "ride" on a school bus!

(Must have been something pretty interesting to see out the window!)

Walking with Daddy back to our car...

18 Months!

It's hard for me to believe that "Baby Eli" is already 18 months old!

Eli's the same age as Grace was when he was born!

Eli's a little ham and we just adore his silly little smile. This little guy already has a cute little sense of humor and we love seeing his little personality emerge!

Eli is saying lots of words and is great at repeating them too! :)

He loves Elmo, Curious George, and Handy Manny! Eli also loves being outside, playing in water, and going for walks in the wagon!

Here's Eli's 18 month stats!

Height: 32 in. (50th %)

Weight: 26 lbs. (50th %)

Sorry Eli!

Eli was about to eat applesauce! Since we didn't have any bibs clean, we had to find an alternative! :) Sorry buddy! But it worked well at keeping your clothes clean! :)

Baby Larson!

Introducing the newest Little Larson!

Due: 11-11-11!

(Since this will be another c-section baby...

I'm estimating that baby will be born somewhere around the 4th of November...)

We will be BUSY! But we're excited about our newest little blessing! =)

Our Little Beauty :)

I know I'm biased because I'm her mom...but I sure do think she's beautiful!

I just love this baby girl...and can't believe she's almost 3!

Tickle Tickle!

New Table!

I've been looking for a new family-friendly table since we moved in our house. (Almost two years) I found lots of new ones ($$$) but was holding out, hoping I'd find a good deal on craigslist. I finally found one- at a great $ and in great condition :)

Dave and the kiddos sitting at our table for the first time :)

Our little stud :)

I think he likes it!

(The chairs are short enough that he can climb up by himself :)

Gracie too :)

Quiet Time

I went into Grace's room to see what she was up to during quiet time.

And this is how I found her... =)

Yum!

Here's our messy eater enjoying a some pudding! :)

A Touch of Summer!

We had nice and toasty weather today!

A perfect day for the sprinkler! =)

Grace & Eli checking out the ball sprinkler...

Tasting the water...

Catching the water...

To scoop up in their hands to drink! :)

Happy Girl :)

Ready to Eat!

Here's Eli ready for breakfast with his little monkey buddy! =)

Mother's Day!

Here's an awful picture from Mother's Day... I'm almost embarrassed to even post it! :)

Grace and Eli have grown so much! I love them dearly and am so blessed to Gracie, Eli's, and baby #3's Mom. =)

One of my favorite pictures! =)

Knock Knock

A Week with Cousins!

The last week in April, Gracie and Eli got to spend a whole week with Cousins Carson & Ryan!

My wonderful sister & brother-in-law offered to take care of them for the week so I could attend a conference in Orlando with Dave! (Sorry this post is out of order =)

Here are a few pictures from their week! (Thanks for the pictures Kim! :)

Eli had fun playing with the boys!

Going for a ride!

So much fun playing with all their cool toys!

Carson & Ryan with the treats we brought back for them. =)

Thanks SO much for making this trip possible for us! =)

Tuckered Out!

This was one tired boy!
