Ice Cream Social - Family Fun Day

On Saturday, our Family Ministries Team hosted an Ice Cream Social and Games Day at the church. Eli had a good ole time. He loves to just be outdoors. I tell you...It was HOT! The kids played Kickball, had relay races, duck duck goose, and had a water balloon fight. Everyone ate ice cream and the day was just pleasant. We had a pretty good turn out. This was Eli playing in the tug boat inside just before ice cream. More pictures to come.

Sprinkler Park

My baby sister, Darian, came to stay with us this weekend so I took off work and we had a little fun in the sun this weekend. On Friday we went to the Sprinkler Park in Collierville, then off to Build-A-Bear Workshop. This is always a tradition when Darian comes to Memphis. We "must" go to BAB. Eli wasn't too sure about the water at first. He then started to make his way all over the park...he played in the baby sprinklers mostly. He got a little upset when the water sprayed in his face. I couldn't get many pictures because I was chasing him all over the park. Darian seemed to enjoy the park as well. She made friends quickly and was running all over getting water dumped on her by the buckets in the air. It is a nice relaxing atmosphere. Here are a few pics from our adventures on Friday.

Rockin Redbirds

Happy Memorial Day to Everyone! We celebrated at the Memphis Redbirds game. This was Eli's 2nd Redbirds game to attend. Everyone seemed to have a great time. Eli got to meet Rocky the Redbird. He only liked him from a distance though...as you can see he was trying to jump out of my arms when he got so close. When he walked away all Eli would say was "bird", "bird", "bird". It was FUN!!

Feelin Froggy

This weekend we had our family in from Nashville. Grandma, Aunt Heather, Stephen, and Dawson. We met Stephen for the first time and we "approved". He is a very nice guy and loves Aunt Heber so that's what counts. We went to eat at Cracker Barrell after church on Sunday and met up with Kim Covey and her new man... We had a great time being with everyone.

Weekend of Family Fun

We had an eventful weekend. These are just some random pictures from the weekend. We had a relaxing night on Friday night. On Saturday our church has an outreach in the downtown area for Memphis in May. We rent a pavillion and have song service...It was awesome!! Gateway Choir was there with us this year as well. They did an incredibly great job as well. On Sunday after church, we went out to the Park and had some great fellowship time with our friends. The kids had a great time on Saturday and Sunday being outside playing.

Mother's Day 2008

Eli is really into picking flowers these days. He loves flowers. It is really funny but not really always a good thing because...he likes to pick them whenever he sees them. That may mean weeds from our yard or...out of someone else's flower bed. He hasn't quite caught on to that concept yet. He always picks the flowers and brings them to "mama". He just grins as he runs towards me with them. It makes my day when I see him coming with all the flowers he has picked from the yard. He is so adorable! I love you little man...you are the sweetest little boy there ever was. Thank you for making mommy's mother's day special!
