Happy 2nd Birthday Eli!!!

We had a small family party Tues. night with Lucas and Nana. Eli loves his toy drum and his Elmo books. He then woke up to a Fun and exciting Wed. He got a battery powered 4 wheeler and he LOVES that. We then had some huge but very yummy cupcakes at Sherry's for playdate. Boy did they ever muddy. He is into Mickey mouse toys and Elmo so of coarse he got those. He had fun! I made some yummy but ugly Mickey Mouse cupcakes. Oh well I never said that I had a skill in that area. At least the little kids liked the cupcakes. Grandma also made Choc. and Biscuits (it's a southern thing) with eggs and sausage. This pic is of Eli on the slip n slide for the first time.

Throwback Thursday

Eli turned 2 yesterday so lets throwback to when he was 1 and a little less mischievous.

Everything happens for a reason, right?

Well, I will tell you now that its all over with and done. I was pregnant and knew that I was but was not for sure because i had not been to the doc. So last Sat. I had a lot of problems and was hurting so I was having a miscarriage but I had no clue that's what it was. The following Monday it was proven that's what it was. I had to go to the doc and have several blood test done and most things came out normal. She told me it would be a month or so before i would feel "normal". I was thinking "not Jennifer, I will be just fine" and I was until a day later. I then begin to have panic attacks and was awake for 24 hrs with no sleep, all crying. It was not NORMAL! I was mad b/c it wasn't me. I am not suppose to do that. I am a strong woman. But ya know the Lord had other plans. I am still to this day recovering from last week and I now understand what anxiety and panic attacks are. If you've ever experienced that i understand and support you. It's hard but I WILL be just fine. So thanks to all of you that has helped me. Love ya!

P.S. If you want two little wild boys just call me hehe!

Here's a happy note! Look at my cute, cute, and I mean cute boys! Zeke was away for training. So I had to hold Eli so he would be in the picture.

Army ROTC dining out

As you many know Zeke is in the Army ROTC. He will be graduting this semester so this year's dining out was special to him and the other MS 4's aka Seniors. The food was so good thanks to Leanna's hubby and his staff. We had fun and dancing but we did make it home by 12am. Kim and I did my hair and i ordered my dress for dirt cheap so it all came out well. Zeke's uniform had more pins and awards on it which is cool. They receive more each semester and when he commissions the end of July he will recieve his 2 gold bars as a 2nd LT. in the US Army. Yeah for him!

The first picture is Brother Wells and Zeke. Bro. Wells it a retired LT from the Army.

This is at Mrs. Kim's house as we were getting ready to head out for the evening.

Cadet Doyle and Cadet Bryan they are so funny!

Easter was Happy and EGGventful!

Eli loved riding the cow train but only if I was riding it with him. It was so fun and went fast. It even had seat belts. These are the pipes that Doug Webb is using to build slides and tunnels. That's Ethan climbing on them.

Ethan loved this riding cow train. The Webbs had this made and its tons and fun and way cute.

Later on that day we had a talk about Jesus and how he died for us. Well, Ethan is confused but it's cute. He said" Did I die for Jesus and you,daddy?" We just had to die laughing. Poor thing.

T Ball Time!

I'm not a very good blogger......i always think of the funniest things to write about the boys and the things they say or do. When it comes time to write them i cant remember.
Eli is beginning TERRIBLE 2's. He's hitting now and when we correct him he tells us "no no". He is getting into things ALL the TIME more than Ethan ever did. It's always an interesting day with him. He is also enjoying Ethan's T- ball practice times. He likes it more than Ethan does. Ethan is the youngest on the team but he can hit the ball better than the others. We practice on Mon. and Fri nights. He is usually shy or ill when it comes to going out there and playing with the team. He did not get that from me. Jake is his new friend so the 2 of them just play in the dirt and talk about little boys things.
I have gotten into landscaping these days. Which is weird for me. I've never really cared about it until a few weeks ago. I will take pics of what all I've done. On Thurs. we went to my moms and really made over her yard. I love to help her knowing that she cant do it herself. It took me from 2 pm to 8 50 pm and that is with a 20 min break but i enjoyed it and i know she will when she goes to rest on the swing and see the green plants and flowers. There for a second i thought "hum, i should get into the business." It can be back breaking at times. The boys are in love with their Nana and papa James. Nana is my mom and James is my step dad. We met them at Lowe's and they were so excited to get out of the car and go see their Nana and papa. Not to leave Grandma (Kim) out. She is their best friend to besides Jacob D. Ethan wants to spend the night with them all. It's so sad how he cries to stay with them. Usually he wins because they have him so spoiled and he has them wrapped around his finger. They are our favorite people for now or as Ethan would say" she my bestest friend". You know how little boys could change their minds. Family is such fun!


Eli is ready to play.

He was thinking...."I'm waiting, my glove is on the ground just like you told me to hold it. Now, where is the ball?"
