Eli hasn't been able to eat before radiation. Since yesterday was the last day of that, I made him his favorite breakfast: pancakes and bacon. I think he was a happy boy....check out the video and see for yourself! :)

New Blog layout
I'm sure the new design won't stay this way for long. I'm usually not a big fan of change but when it comes to being creative I don't seem to mind! I'm just glad I finally figured out some more interesting design/set up attributes of blogger. I haven't been very consistent keeping up with this blog since I started putting a lot of pics on Facebook. But from time to time I will post a few more.
Enjoy!

Summer 2010
We spent July 4th at the Lake House on Oconee. Some of the pics are from that weekend. We did spend a week in Ft. Walton renovating my grandparents cottage on the bay but I neglected to take any pics except the two from the beach that I included here. I guess we were just too busy chasing the boys around to take any pics. These pics got all jumbled and out of order when I was uploading them so you'll have to figure out which are from the 4th at the lake, and which are just random pics at our house! :) Oh well, Enjoy!

Camping in June
Camping is so much more relaxing with friends and baby jail! We learned our lesson from our first camping trip of the year and decided to take our “baby corral” that we use around our Christmas tree. We went camping with the Glass family and they brought their “baby jail” too. It helped keep our sanity intact because Eli and Laney couldn’t wander off. Sam and Bradley had a blast and were great. They played with Batman, Buzz Lightyear, play dough, horse shoes, motorcycles, monster trucks, shovels/buckets, Lightning McQueen and all of the other toys that they brought.
This year we went to Unicoi State Park, near Helen, GA. We visited the town of Helen, played on the play ground, bought rock candy and chocolate, visited the Black Forest Bear Park and had a great time. We also hiked to Anna Ruby Falls one morning. There was also a creek in the campground that we played in several times. Sam, Joseph, Bradley and Bryan liked splashing everyone, Eli liked walking around throwing rocks and little Laney liked sitting in the middle and trying to eat the rocks!
All in all it was one of the best camping trips we’ve planned. Probably because the boys are getting a little more manageable! I think we’re planning another one soon so if you want to join us let me know….we are always looking for camping buddies!
Enjoy the pics

Mother's Day, Popsicles and Mud!
Hello all,
This past month has been fun. Our playset was installed and the boys love playing outside. The weather has been sunny (and sometimes rainy). Here are some pics...
Enjoy!
Mother's Day 2010
Eyes open, looking at the camera and smiling is
Fudgsicles on the patio with mommy and daddy!
Mmmmmm...
Sam can be so silly sometimes! haha ;)
A big popsicle kiss from brother...
Popsicles in the backyard one afternoon
Playing in the mud! It rained last Friday so the boys had a little bit of cabin fever. Their friends Logan and Dylan had stayed the day and when we went outside to say goodbye the boys saw this puddle. They were really good and waited until Mommy said that they could play in it. It was just too cute. This is why I don't buy expensive clothes: 1. because i want to let them play in the mud from time to time 2. because i don't want to freak out when they do. Boys will be boys!

First Camping Trip of 2010
Last week, Joseph pressure washed the camper and with it looking so purty we decided to take it out for the first camping trip of 2010. We only went once last year (probably due to our couple of trips down to FL and AL) but we definitely plan on going more this year. It's just so cheap (especially at the state parks) and it's not like you spend more on food cause you just take what you have at home with you!
Well, little did we know that by the end of the first day we were going to be ready to pack it all up and come home. Little bugger Eli drove us INSANE! See, last year we took him camping when he was 3 months old (our friends took their 1 mo. old on the same trip) and we joked that we were crazy for taking babies camping. I stand corrected, because taking a walking 13 mo. old is so much crazier! He just wandered around so someone had to constantly follow him. And of course keeping him inside the camper was not going to happen because as soon as Daddy and Big Bro Sam went outside he would pitch a fit!
We made it through because we just came to the conclusion that camping, for now, is no longer relaxing! Haha It was fun watching them explore, make friends, play with sticks, flowers, bugs, and eat dirt! Sam was GREAT! He’s pretty much potty trained so that made it a little easier. Plus he will listen to directions like “get out of the road” and “don’t put that in your mouth” and Eli doesn’t have a clue yet! The only downfall of the trip was that we couldn’t even start a fire until after Eli was in bed because he had no concept whatsoever that it would hurt him!
But we are making memories and we can’t wait until our next trip! Enjoy some of the pics. (I tried to find some that I haven’t already posted on Facebook!)
At the waterfalls (we stayed at High Falls State park)
Eli loved the flowers!
Sam and Daddy just chillin! :)
Cutie pie
Not sure why the hands are on the head, but he's a cutie, too! :)
