Blueberry Pickin'

Aunt Caroline showed where we could pick some blueberries.  Dad LOVES blueberries so Dad and I went and picked blueberries while Mom and Baby were in the car.  Baby was taking a nap.  We promise to share some blueberries with them!



Look at all these blueberries we picked!


I think Connor ate more than he picked!  They were so yummy!

Carl and Uncle Steve..the two engineers



Dad helped Carl build a boat.  It was loads of fun to watch them build it and then to float it.

Carl was so happy to take it out to the water.  He kept jumping up and down as it went across the pond.

There was a little problem.  Dad and Carl added a fin to the bottom of the boat the second time around and it got stuck in seaweed.  Luckily, they found a long stick and got it out!


All of the kids had loads of fun watching the boat!

Cadie's Birthday

Happy Birthday, Cadie!  We went to visit the Critchfield cousins for a couple of days and Cadie's birthday was at the same time.  Aunt Caroline made Cadie a chocolate cake with pink frosting.  It was so yummy!



As you can tell...the cake was super yummy!


Even Dad liked it....with chips on it!  He is so silly!

Uncle Carl's parents, Cadie's grandparents, were there too.

Elijah loves cake!



Cadie loved the scripture bag that Aunt Itsy made her.  She was carrying it around like a purse.

She got horses and more horses.  She loves horses....and so does Elijah.  They fought over them the rest of the time we were there.  Luckily, Cadie was willing to share her new horses.

Orlando Temple

We went to the temple and walked around.  We even went into the waiting room and talked about Jesus and how when we turn 12 we can go in the temple.

I am being my usual self...trying to get into trouble!


Please don't take my picture!!


I took a picture of Mom, Dad, and Elijah!  I did a good job...Mom didn't even have to do anything to the picture.


Ipad Heaven

I went with Dad to the Apple store so he could replace his iPad and look what I found...a table for kids!  When I got back out to the car I told Mom that I got to play with a little iPad a.k.a. a little table with iPads. 


I even wrote my name while I was playing with the iPad!

Decorating Grandpa's Birthday Gift

We decorated a hard hat for Grandpa for this birthday.  He has to wear one to work everyday so we thought he would like something that helped him remember us at work.


I even put my name on!

Mom thinks there is nothing cuter than this little blonde boy with his cute cheeks!

Mother's Day Gifts

I gave Mommy the funniest card ever...I especially love the last part about her always giving me clean underpants.  I laugh and laugh about it!  Dad gave Mom a gift certificate for a massage and made her M&M cookies Sunday night.  It was the best Mother's Day ever for Mommy.

Mother's Day Weekend

I found a cool FBI kit at Dollar Tree.  I was being like Uncle Mike...I was saying "freeze sucker!"



I was having problems with my expensive plastic handcuffs.


We even went to my favorite restunaught...GC or Grandma Coates' or Golden Corral.  They have cotton candy there and I decided to make a Pops' mustache out of cotton candy.

Helping Dad pack a box with tape

Steve asked me to go get the tape in the kitchen to get some tape and this is how I came back.  I said that it helped me to see the tape on the box better.  Mom and Dad thought I was too funny!


Fire truck night at Chick-fil-A

Every Friday night is Family night at Chick-fil-A.  They have everything from face painting to balloon animals.  This night was Fire Department night.  There were safety booklets for the kids to color and a firetruck for them to drive.

Turtle time at Chick-fil-A

Elijah isn't big enough to get up on the slide so I help him!  I do the turtle.  Mommy loves that I do it without having to be asked.  I am a good older brother.  (Mommy and Aunt Kristi used to do turtle every night to turn the light on in the bedroom).

Summer Bowling

We got a bowling pass for the summer.  This our first outing ....both of us love it!

Wakulla Springs

Good times at Wakulla Springs!




The boys loved being able to see all of the different animals in the water.....at least for the first 10 minutes.
