Creative Discovery Museum!

Boys LOVED the musical instrument section! I must admit that I did too!

CHOO CHOO!

Last week we went on a quick trip to Chattanooga to meet up with Cousin Joe and Katie! Gram went with us and we had a fun-FILLED 24 hours in Chattanooga! We stayed at the Chattanooga Choo Choo, swam, fed the Koi fish, ate breakfast with Nana and Big Daddy, rode the trolley, and went to the Creative Discovery Museum. Whew!

Eli and his animals!

This one was too funny not to share!

Myrtle Beach 2010

Enjoy these pics from our Myrtle Beach family vacation!

Eli's 1st encouter with the ocean!

Reese hanging out poolside! She spent most of her time asleep in her tent or stroller. Princess did not like the sand and I don't blame her!
The Carribean Resort had a really neat waterpark onsite with a shallow preschool play area that included a submarine to play on and water squirting everywhere!

When we weren't at the pool, we were usually napping or playing with our animals! Eli is really into pretend play right now and his animals, dinosaurs, and sea creatures are his favorites!

Momma and her babies at Bubba's Love Shak! Great place to go eat with kiddo's!

Reese relaxing on the couch in her shark towel after some time in the pool!

One day we took Eli and Reese to Alligator Adventure! It was GREAT but I really hope Myrtle Beach never floods. I bet they had at least 200 alligators on 15 acres! INSANE!

Eli and the big alligators!

Here's Eli riding a Triceratops at Broadway at the Beach!

Watch out Michael Phelps!

We recently returned from a family vacation to Myrtle Beach. Eli absolutely LOVED the pool and did great in his life jacket. Reese was not such a fan... but I think it was because of the noise and splashing of all the kids and not because of the water. She does really well in our neighborhood pool with less kids.

Let's go to "Zoom"

We LOVE the zoo! It give Eli the freedom to run around from exhibit to exhibit and absolutely wears him out! (I'm talking 3 hour nap each time we go!) So Saturday we started out early and headed to the "zoom". The neatest thing was watching Eli give "baby George" the chimp high fives through the glass and playing Peekaboo! Jay and I both just stood there and watched for about 20 minutes before we thought to get out the camera. Baby #2 has just thrown me for a loop! :) Anyways, here some pics of Eli and Jay at the zoo. Reesie and I were there, but just mainly behind the camera!

New Pics!

Here are some updated pics of Reesie and Eli! Reesie is at the smile and gurgle stage! She loves to have people talk to her and she is trying to mimic sounds and faces. She is sleeping 8 - 10 hours consistently and is a very happy, healthy baby. Eli went through a little rough patch once the new of baby Reese wore off, but we're back to our fun-loving self now. I absolutely LOVE my kids and being able to stay home with them. They wear me out!!! But I wouldn't change it for the world.

The power was out the other night for 4 hours, so this is how Eli entertained himself! :) Luckily it came back on before Reesie woke for her middle of the night feeding or I would have had this thing on my head changing her diaper! :)
