Summer Begins!

Summer fun has come and we are all about getting outside and having fun, or as Eli says, "Outside Eli, Outside Eli!"

Eli's new pajamas! He's super excited. Thanks Aunt Kay!

Check out out little garden, Jared is very vigilant about watering and taking care of it.

Blah! Knee surgery and a subsequent 6 weeks on crutches. Luckily everything went well and hopefully a full recovery is in the near future.

Look at my tired little boy! He fell asleep and slowly squirmed his way off the couch. Shortly after this picture he finally woke up. 

We went on a short hike up to a small waterfall (pre-surgery), it is called Rocky Mouth. Eli of course loved playing in the water. What a fun little adventure.

Eli at his first swimming lessons! He is a little fish, he loves the water. We took a mommy and me swimming class and it was so much fun. Hoping we can do it again soon.

One morning Eli keep saying. "Boot, Boot." It took me a minute to figure out what he was saying when I finally figured it out I started to laugh and we put his boots on. He walked around as happy as could be in his boots.

We love the zoo, and since we got a zoo pass we get to go as often as we want. Here was a trip with our friends Alison and Benson and my sister Kay. We love the carousel and train.

Our Friends Happy, Chris, and Liam stopped by on their way home to California. It was so fun to see them and the boys had fun playing in the sandbox!

Lovin' the beaters!

Pancakes are Eli's favorite!

See :)

One of Eli's favorite things to do is go water the garden with daddy! What a big helper he is! He just loves to playing in water and will do anything to do so.

Here are some of Jared's pictures of the solar eclipse, we had fun watching it even though it got covered part of the time by clouds.

One of the cool effect of the eclipse was that all the light came through as little crescents so you could see the eclipse on all the lighted surfaces.

Yes Aunt Brandie I just had to put in the picture with you and a box on your head! And of course Eli had to put a bucket on his head too!
