Eli is such a great helper with watering the plants.
I love how he expresses himself! No lack of personality here!

Eli started playing with this bungee cord that I use to haul all our beach gear down to the beach...and I caught a few adorable pics!

Our visit to "The Farm"

In late May we all... (Anna, Barry, Jake, Sam, Eric, Eli, and I) headed to Georiga to my families farm. I had not been there in such a very long time. It was such a wonderful trip. We all had a blast and Eli loved to run around on the farm with all the animals.


Hanging in the barn with the baby cow and goats.
This was a cool picture of Maria (the dog) trying tease the cows...running all over the place like crazy. I caught her in the air here.
The boys trying to decide if they want to join Uncle Mucho in with the goats.
Carrie feeding the baby cow. Eli was very interested.

One of my favorite things as a kid was jumping the bails of hay. Here ....Barry is jumping with Sam.



Here's Eli is on my Uncle Joe's tractor...he thought this was the all time coolest ever!
Daddy and Eli watching the baby cow get fed.
Eli see's the goats...he wants Sam to see them.
Aunt Aunnie and Jake reading to Eli!
Jake and Sam cuddling with Aunt Debbie and Cousin Carrie! I can't believe I captured Aunt Debbie sitting...she spoiled us rotten feeding us her delicious cooking the whole time!
Nothing like bath time in the old farm tub!
The pasture was so beautiful in the morning. I look at this and remember many wonderful times running around this pasture.
The barn across from the house.
The old farm house...original part over a 100 years old. My Uncle Mucho refurbished it and it is Amazing!!! A little piece of heaven.
One of Eli's favorite things...riding in the back of Uncle Joe's Farm truck.
This is Cousin Carry getting some love from Aunt Debbie and Uncle Mucho's dog Maria.
Fishing on the pond. This day was scorching hot....I snapped several adorable pictures of Eli's first fishing experience. We didn't catch anything...maybe next time!
Cousin Carl Felton helping Jake and Sam try there hand at catching a fish.
Just precious!

Uncle Joe and Eli looking at the geese. We explained to Eli that Uncle Joe was a farmer....now any tv show, book, or toy with a tractor...Eli says "Uncle Joe"!

Check out that belly!


Julian giving Eli some goodnight hugs and kisses.
Julian on his bike. He just put his new wheel covers on and he was proud. Yes those are dollar signs on there...teenagers always keep life interesting.

Here is Eli on the back deck...where he would live if we let him. He has his Dog and Raffi that he loves dearly. This picture makes me melt. I love it!

I love to peek at Eli sleeping...everyday! I decided that I should get a few photos. Pure sweetness at it's finest!
