Eli is 2!

We can't believe our sweet little baby is 2!  He is such a blessing to us and full of so much personality!  He is still very much a Daddy's boy!  He loves to play and aggravate his brother in the process.  He loves Mickey Mouse and every other character from the show.  He also really loves hats and boots.  He is constantly getting a hat and either putting it on himself or having someone else put it on their head.  As far as boots - he is hardly ever without them (except for these pics).  He got rain boots for his birthday party the other night because he always wants to wear Noah's old rainboots and he trips over his own feet the whole time!  We love him so much and are blessed to have this vivacious little 2 year old in our lives!  Happy Birthday Eli!

 Cheese!

Valentine Mini Session

We went a couple weeks ago to Grapevine to meet up with a friend who used to live in Wichita Falls.  Adrian was doing some Valentine mini sessions so I thought I'd try to get a few pics of the boys.  Noah did great.  Eli was not so cooperative once again! This first one of Noah cracks me up.  He was being such a ham!

 The sucker was my attempt at a bribe, but even it didn't help too much!

The best one of both of them - I love that they're having so much fun! 

Farmer Eli

We just love this little guy so much!  He constantly cracks us up.  He is always telling us he want his boots on and wears them non-stop!  He also loves to put on a hat anytime he can find one!  The other night this is how he came out of his room after dressing himself. Silly boy!

Young Ages - January

Just a few pics showing what Noah and his class did during January.  They had Bear Day and also had a little goat visit them!

Legoland

We went to Grapevine this weekend.  While we were there we decided to take the boys to Legoland.  Noah has been asking to go back and he had even more fun this time.  I forgot to bring my camera in, but I did take a few pics with my phone.  Of course we had to get a picture with the fire hydrant!

Super Cute Valentine Shirts!

We have some dear friends, the Edfeldts, who are in the process of adopting from Africa.  To raise money, they are doing some different fundraisers.  One of them is that Beth is making shirts.  She has featured on their blog some super cute Valentine shirts for boys and girls.  She also has some other designs shown too.  She has made shirts for us in the past and they are always so adorable!  She is one talented gal!  So, if you're looking for a cute shirt for your sweet kiddo for Valentines or even their birthday check out their blog.  The address is http://www.anotherpairofshoes.com or you can click on the link "The Edfeldts" to the right and it will take you there.  There are some other fundraisers they're doing too that you can check out.  If not anything else, read their story and be inspired!   

First Wildcats Hockey Game

We went to Noah and Eli's first Wildcats hockey game tonight.  They both had a blast, but Noah definitely had the most fun!  Eli wasn't very cooperative for pictures (surprise, surprise) so I only got a couple of good ones of Noah.
