Waiting on Baby Maddox!

Saturday was the shower for Kelli and Baby Maddox! Yes... another BOY! Maddox got all kinds of cool things and lots of "mommies favorites" from the new moms! Eli, Noah, and Drew had a great time at the shower and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the 4th man on their basketball team!

Isn't this an adorable wreath! It has all kinds of baby goodies!
Eli and Gram, Drew and Gramma Linda, Noah and Gramma Arlene!

Wouldn't you know that the Gramma's immediately went to the boys! :)
Maggie was the only girl in this group of babies, but I think she will be able to hold her own!

More from Memorial Day Weekend!

This Memorial Day we attended TWO wonderful, fun cookouts! Saturday we all gathered at Donnie and Kelli Lawson's to watch the UFC fight and cookout. We had a great time and Eli actually went to sleep in Maddox's room at his bedtime and slept till we left. Then Sunday it was to Johnson City we went! Finally, Monday evening we attended a cookout at Chat and Tiffany Websters. I had laid Eli in the floor while I fixed my plate and look at what I returned to! I don't guess I need to worry about babysitters while the boys are around, although they did think it would be funny to prop Eli up on the couch with the remote! Boys are silly! :)

Here's another installment of Eli and Josiah!

Goodbye Johnson City!

Movin on out!! This weekend was the big move for Michael and Katie! Sunday the fam traveled up to Johnson City to help with the final packing and loading of the Penske truck. Eli didn't get to help with the heavy lifting, but he did get some quality time with Cousin Josiah. We had a wonderful time and cannot wait to visit Mike, Katie, and Josiah in Birmingham!Josiah and Eli! They look around the same size, but Josiah is so much bigger than Eli! It is amazing to watch Josiah and know that Eli will be at that stage in 3 weeks! Josiah is following Katie and Mike around and just lights up when they are near!
Gram was in grandparent heaven!
Eli wants a rainforest mobile like Josiah's! He watched it for 30 minutes solid!

Gram, Granddaddy, and the BOYZ!
Double Trouble! I forsee some wild days ahead!
He is Michael made over!
Eli and Granddaddy!

Here's one of the 4 videos I took! :) The bird in the background is Musa and belongs to Mike and Katie! They received him as a wedding present! :) Musa has decided to stay in Johnson City with their friend Hannah! Good luck Hannah!

Boat 4 Sale...

Last summer Jay and I bought this cabin cruiser to use on Watts Bar. It is a 2001 Doral 250SE. Our favorite trip was when we drove it to Chattanooga and stayed a few days docked right outside of the aquarium! It has been a fabulous boat that we have thoroughly enjoyed, but alas... then came Eli! It is for sale! Please email all questions or interest to jeowings@comcast.net . Eli needs a new pair of shoes... he's already outgrowing his "shoe socks"!! :) Pass along the word! Thanks!

Here we are at the aquarium! Our boat is the one on the right...

What a cutie captain!!

Gettin ready for the BEACH!!!

We are so excited about going to the beach!! Kelly Thorne gave us the great idea of using a tent at the beach for Eli! I wasn't sure how he was going to like it, so we decided to try it out today on the back porch. Eli chilled in the tent while I tried to get some sun on my pale legs! He did great. I think he's really going to love it when he has the ocean breeze and sounds. He sleeps to a noise machine at night with the ocean noise so I'm sure he's going to snooze the whole time!

Eli got his finger stuck in one of the holes in the blanket and got soooooo mad when he thought it was attacking him! I couldn't help him I was so tickled! :)

Boyz Time!

Each night around 7pm is what I like to call "Boyz Time" at the Owings house! This is the time when Jay gets Eli ready for bed by giving him his bath, changing his diaper, and putting on his PJ's. This is great male bonding time and gives me a much needed break! Here's some pics of the 2 men in my life enjoying boyz time!

Happy Baby, Final Edition!

No one can make Eli smile quite like Daddy! I swear I won't post pics EVERY day of Eli just smiling, but right now it's too new and just too darn cute!
