Easter Egg Hunt!

Eli and Cole had a great time hunting Easter eggs last weekend. Eli found 1 and was happy just to sit and play! Cole, on the other hand, was a man with a mission! He found tons of eggs before sitting down with Eli to check out the Cheerios and raisons that were inside! Nene and Big Daddy Sam joined us for the fun and even brought the boys some remote control cars. Eli will have to wait a little while to play with his Lamborghini, but Jay will keep it maintained I'm sure!

And we're off! (and yes, that is a Halloween basket that Eli has! Don't judge!)

Rack'em!

One of Eli's favorite things to do is play "pool" with Granddad! He's almost too big for this, but I'm sure that Granddad will let him continue doing it as long as he wants! :)

Easter at the Farm!

There is nothing like Easter at the farm! Michael, Katie, and Josiah were able to meet us in Whitwell for Easter weekend. It was great to have the whole family together and give the boys a chance to reconnect.

Too many to name... I'll just call them the Wagner Kin Folk!

Uncle Butch, Aunt Ginger, Granddad, me, Eli, Jay, Katie, Josiah, and Michael (Gram taking the pic) at the farm. (See silo in background for confirmation! Yes.... I have lots of farming roots!) The Davis Men on the tractor! Josiah was a huge fan!

Josiah got to meet some cows! I think he's a farmer at heart!
Granddad LOVED being able to spend this quality time with Josiah at the farm! I think he enjoyed it even more than Josiah!

And what Easter is complete without walking through the dogwoods?!



Hard to Handle!

As Eli and Cousin Josiah get more mobile, it becomes evident that these two are HARD TO HANDLE! Easter was a lot of fun, especially time spent down at the creek. It took all of us (4 grandparents, 4 parents, and 7 cousins) to keep the boys dry! Whew! What a day! Can't wait for the next family party!

"Trying" to get a pic with the boys at the creek! Josiah was coming off his chocolate high in a hurry!

Someone got into the choc-o-late!!!

The boys didn't quite know what to think about the fake geese! :) Granddad trying to keep the boys dry!
These were the best out of about 15!


HAHAHAHA! How did Granddad get this job?!


More silly antics!

Here's some video of Eli in the water puddle at Lakeside Golf Course.

Eli the Duck!

Each year on Good Friday, Jay and I participate in the Eddie Kendrick Memorial Golf Tournament to benefit the FBC Senior High Summer Mission Trip. Jay plays with a team (Donnie, Scott, and Thomas) and I help take up money with my mom. This year was a little different because I had Eli the spaz to take care of! Thankfully, between mom, dad, and I we were able to entertain him for a few hours before we finally gave in and let him go CRAZY in the biggest water puddle he could find! It was very entertaining to watch and he had a ball! Enjoy some pics of His Royal Spazness!



Eli and Noah's Birthday at Chuck E. Cheese!

Eli's 1st Birthday turned into a month long celebration that ended on April 2nd (my BABY's birthday) with a trip to Chuck E. Cheese's with his birthday sharing buddy Noah. For those of you who don't know, Noah was born about 1 hour before Eli and is literally his best and 1st friend! So it was only appropriate for us to celebrate this day together. Totally fun, but exhausting! Can't wait for next year!

Here's the Birthday boys at 1 year old!

Meet our new BFF - CHUCK!
Noah is an "excellent driver"!
Eli really just wanted to run away with the basketballs instead of play the game!
2 points!
