Eli's 5th Birthday and Party

Here are some EXREMELY belated pictures from Eli's 5th Birthday.

We had his party at Chuck-E-Cheese!

I took this first picture the morning of his birthday (April 11th).  The party was a few days later.

Probably laughing at daddy dancing for the cameras.

Eli's Cousin Jacob came up for the party! 

Eli was a little hesitant. He definitely prefers to NOT be the center of attention! 

Hannah had to go into the ticket blaster on Eli's behalf (he didn't want the attention).  She did great!! 

10 things I thought I’d never say………..and then I grew up.

1. “There’s no way I can stay awake for a show that starts at 10!”

2. “These brussels sprouts are delicious!”

3.  “I really like the bouquet on this wine.”

4. “Do you know how many trans fats that has????”

5.  “Coffee.  Lots of coffee”. 

6. “I’m functioning on 4 hours of sleep!”

7.  “Wow, those college kids sure look young!”

8.  “Is that Paleo?  Is that Vegan?  Is that Vegetarian?  Is that low carb?  Is that dairy free?….etc.”

9. “Too. Much. Wine.”

10. “I feel so much better when I work out.”

Christmas decorations (better late than never!)

Summer Vacation

These pictures are not in order, but here are a few from our recent road trip to Red Lodge, Montana and Couer D'Alene, Idaho.  

We (and I mean Mickey) drove over 2,000 miles in a week.

 The weather was HOT and we had a blast!

Hope you are all enjoying your summers!
