Fall Festival

There is a church in Farragut that hosts a huge fall festival every year and we like to take Eli. It was his first chance to wear his Thomas costume and I knew it wouldn't stay on long. Especially since there were tons of games and inflatables!!

This was the first time Eli had ever tried golf and he make it in two puts!! Wow!!

There was even a hay ride pulled by a tractor! Eli loved watching the tractor!!

Happy Birthday Eli!!!

Well, Friday was my little man's third birthday. I can't believe he is already three. We celebrated his birthday on Saturday with a fire truck party!! Eli had been looking forward to his party for so long and he almost didn't make it on Saturday. But, the party finally came and he had a blast! So did his friends!!

This is Eli's Thomas train table that John and I got him for his birthday. I found it at a consignment sale for a killer deal! And, it came with the train set, too!!

Yeah! My party is finally here!!

When we first got there one of the firemen drove the truck out of the garage. Eli and Ally were thrilled!While we waited for all of Eli's friends to arrive the kids entertained themselves by running around the fire truck!!

Listening to the fireman start the tour. It was very hard to stand still!!!

Finally!! The fire truck!!!

Now, off to the house for food, fun, fellowship, cake and presents!!

Every birthday, so far, Eli has had one present that he chose as his favorite. This year it was this HUGE garbage truck from Grame and Poppy!! It slept next to his bed last night and is there tonight!!

Thanks to everyone who came to Eli's party and for all of the wonderful gifts!! Eli had a blast and loves everything!!

Second Ultra Sound

Well, I have had a pretty rough time with this second pregnancy. During the last week, I have been very sick. It started last Thursday and then, this week, I had some very intense cramping which caused me to be a little worried about the baby. I wasn't bleeding, so miscarriage was quickly ruled out, but I was still very uncomfortable. Wednesday, I already had a doctor's appointment scheduled, so after telling her all that had been going on she went ahead and did another ultra sound. Yeah for me!! I was excited, and relieved, to see the baby is doing very well and to hear the heartbeat. This week, it has legs!!! Thanks to the Lord for protecting our little baby and myself!! If you click on the pictures you will be able to see the baby better. I already tested this and it will work!!

Nightime Silliness!!

Dollywood!!

Last Friday, Eli and I joined Jeanne and Trevor at Dollywood for the kick off of the Gospel and Harvest Celebration. This was our first trip to Dollywood and Eli had a blast!!

We started with the cars and Eli was so excited to be able to drive his own car!! I tightened my seat belt real tight and we were off!!

Waiting for the train!!

Eating popcorn and enjoying some music!!

Best buds!!Needless to say, the boys were a little tired!!
