Some Pictures of Eli and Ethan in Iowa

Our boy!


So very loved!!!


Best buddies!



This picture is my absolute favorite!! Shows his tantrum so well. You might be thinking that maybe this was at the end of our session....oh no this was just the beginning...he was being a little punk.

These pictures are not very good at showing his battle wounds. Eli got in a little accident with the slide today. He tripped over the slide and face planted right into it. A few minutes after he fell he was perfectly fine.

We had a BBQ last night at Evan and Alisha's. Eli loved the corn on the cob....

We went to Adventureland yesterday and Eli loved it! He had a fun time going on the "big kid" rides all by himself. Here are a few highlights of our day:

Eli by the duck crossing sign

We took Eli to feed the ducks at the cemetary tonight. He actually did throw some bread to the ducks this time and only ate a few pieces for himself.

Hi guys


Walking like a big boy


Flying High

Here are some pictures of the fourth of July. Eli liked the sparklers, but kept us running when the big ones came. He just wanted to walk all over the place. Hopefully next year he will enjoy then a little more.

Lost Island Waterpark

We went to Lost Island Waterpark today. It was alot of fun. Here are some highlights of our trip
**Eli loved playing in the kiddie area, going down the slides with absolutely no fear
**Eli loved the wave pool and it was very difficult to get him to keep his head above the water...he purposely was putting his head under, coming up and laughing
**I was very brave (all of you who know me realize these feats were a big deal for me) I went on a drop slide and a huge giant "toilet bowl" slide
**John had a good time going on all of the slides there...one major thing with John he went on the "toilet bowl" slide and his glasses flew off and broke! We will be going to the eye doctor tomorrow because he is one blind man without them
Here are some pictures of our trip there....
