First Words (duck) & General Craziness

Fun at a Birthday Party





Ok, I knew the afternoon was going to have it's struggles because Joel refused to take a nap and Eli had only taken one in the morning. But we hadn't seen these friends in so long, I decided to brave it anyway...even if we couldn't stay long. Well, the party was full of fun outside since it was such a beautiful day and the kids had a blast. Joel particularly liked the lawn mower toy and just running around barefoot in the grass. Eli enjoyed crawling around and checking out the other babies and kids. Joel ate 2 pieces of cake (his favorite part of every party!) But, all good things come to an end...and after 2 hours Joel just couldn't play "nice" any longer so I told him it was time to say goodbye and thank the Alums for the fun party and food/cake. He would have NONE of that and threw the loudest tantrum I could imagine! Let's just say I got him out the door and to the van in record time and he was sound asleep by 6pm (Eli was too!).

Joel's Little Garden


Surprise tulip bloomed in our strawberry patch this year.

This is Joel's 1st little garden. Last week, we planted just a little of everything: green onions, peas, carrots, beets, tomatoes, cucumbers, and one hill of watermelon. Let's see if we can get something other than weeds and strawberries to grow here this summer!!!

Sunny, glorious day!
