Little Artist

The other day Eli and I were wandering through Walmart, I was picking up some baby diapers-trying to get somewhat prepared for the new little one. Well, they have all their school supplies out so we picked up some kiddie scissors and watercolors. You would have thought it was Christmas the way Eli was so excited and worked up. We got home and he spent ALL day cutting and painting.
He's growing up too fast, I can't how big he looks in these pictures and to think he's going to be turning 3 in just a couple weeks, where does the time go?!?

Look at that tongue-he is such a Fuhriman!! LOL!!

Eli keeps me constantly going and the other day I just needed to lay down for a few minutes to rest so I told him to go to his room and play for a little bit. All of his toys were in his closet but instead of pulling them out to play with them he just went and sat in the closet and closed the door. A little while later I didn't hear him-and that makes me nervous- so I went to check on him and he had fallen asleep. He was sitting up holding his tractor and stuffed animal-I don't know how he falls asleep in these odd positions (He must have inherited that from his Grandpa Bob)!!

4th of July

We had a great 4th of July!! Spencer only had to work a couple of hours in the morning so we spent most of the day with family. The weather was so great, Spencer took Eli in the pool with the other kids. He was really excited at first because he loves the water but as you can tell he wasn't really loving it today, there was too much splashing and it didn't help that Spencer just tossed him to begin with!!

After swimming we enjoyed the best part, the food!! We had tons of yummy food. Then the kids got to play with the sparklers and pop-its. This year Eli really got into the fireworks, he was so excited to play with them and was really looking forward to going to the park to see the BIG fireworks show. Unfortunately, we had such a busy day and he was sooo tired from being out in the sun that as soon as we got to the park and sat on the blanket he crashed-totally missing the entire show!! Oh well, there's always next year.
