No Picture Post

Can you believe it?  A no picture post!  Our computer crashed a week or two ago.  I've lost all my pictures I had saved on my hard drive.  My friend who usually takes care of my computer problems was in Hawaii on his honeymoon (see posts below).

Anywho, I have a new computer now, but still no pictures.  It's not as bad as you would think.  I had backed up all my pictures/videos through March.  The pictures/videos from April until now are still on my camera card!  Whew!  What I miss most are the pictures I've taken with my phone. I've been usually my phone a lot lately to take pictures instead of toting around my camera.  I had just uploaded all the pictures and videos just days before the big crash and then deleted them off my phone  :( 

Lesson learned...

We haven't really been up to much lately.  This week I actually had 4 days off in a row!  That hasn't happened in a while.  Since it's been 100+ degrees outside Eli and I have tried to stay inside and keep cool.  We went to the movies one day.  We saw Madagascar 3... first movie he's sat through the entire thing.  It was super cute and he loved it!  Popcorn and starbursts may have had something to do with it, but I'm not sure ;)

So that's it.

We're pretty boring.

I know...

More Photobooth Fun

Here are a couple of photo strips from Robert and Mandy's photobooth.  We could have taken pictures all night!  What a fun idea for a wedding reception!

3 Year Check Up...6 months late

How come I am the only mom who didn't know kids were supposed to have a 3 year check up.   I could have sworn they told me he didn't need to come back until four.  Guess I misunderstood!  Maybe they just meant he didn't have to come back for shots until he was four?

Thank goodness there were no shots.  I'm terrified of his 4 year check up when he has to get shots again.  The last time he got shots he wasn't really old enough to know what was going on.  I just dread it!

Anywho... on with the stats!

He had his very first blood pressure taken (other than the day he was born)!  He thought it was pretty cool!

He is such a big boy now.  But don't tell him that!  He will quickly correct you and tell you he is a "big kid" not a big BOY!  Ha!  And he will tell you he's "three and will be six like Talan soon".  He thinks his friend Talan is so cool because he's six.  And because Talan can do the monkey bars. 

He measured 39 inches tall (50th percentile) and weighed 32 pounds (39th percentile).  I was so proud of his new stats!  We've come a LONG way from the 5th percentile across the board when he was 1 year old.  He fought the 25th percentile for most of his infancy.  He just couldn't get away from it!

The doctor said he was right on track and was doing great.  I was a little worried he would recommend Eli be evaluated for speech therapy.  His speech isn't the clearest but we can understand most everything he says.  His pediatrician wasn't worried and thinks he will catch up after he starts preschool in the fall.  Speaking of preschool, he will start preschool 3 days a week at our church in September.  I'm so excited for Eli to be in a classroom setting.  I think he will thrive in a structured environment.

I'm kind of sad though.... preschool means my baby is growing up!

Rock Star Husband

I could watch this video over and over!  I love it!  It was a great moment and I'm glad I caught it on video.

What a great memory!

Wedding Fun

This weekend one of our good friends, Robert Ko, finally got married!  We are so happy for you, Ko Dawg!  And.... IT'S ABOUT TIME!  Ha!  There, I said it one last time!

Here are pictures from the festivities...

Doesn't Chad look handsome in his tux?!  These were the prettiest tuxes!

Friends from high school...

Steven, Eric, Me and Chad 

I always love the look on the groom's face as the bride walks out! 

I do's 

The happy couple, Mr. & Mrs. Ko!

First dance.  Gotta love their smiles :)

By far the best idea for a groom's cake EVER!  Why didn't I think of that?!?!

They had an awesome photobooth at the reception.  Chad and I had a little too much fun dressing up and taking pictures.

Feather fun 

And to end the night my husband put on a ROCK STAR performance of Pearl Jam's "Alive".  On stage, with a mic and all!  It was classic!  I videoed the whole thing.  I'm working up uploading the video but it's taking forever.  Stay tuned for the video soon!  You won't want to miss this!

Robert and Mandy, we couldn't be happier for you both!  We wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

I Love Summer

I love summer!  It's always been my favorite season. 

And this is why...

And I have a new obsession.  Instagram!  Thanks to instagram for making all these iPhone pictures look like they were taken with a much better camera!  I hardly use my "real" camera anymore.  Kinda sad...

Water Park Days

Our water park days have finally arrived.  Eli has talked about the water park in Branson since last summer.  I truly think it's one of his favorite places to be.  I can't say I blame him!  I love it too! 

He was SUPER pumped to go last Saturday!  Our first trip (of many I'm sure) of the season.

All smiles coming down the slide.  There is one new slide I don't remember him being tall enough for last year.  We tried it and of course he LOVED it!

Love my boys! 

Eli was so worn out when we left.  He couldn't even finish his rice crispy treat!  I turned around and saw he had his eyes closed.  I tried to take the rice crispy treat out of his hand.  He opens his eyes and says "mommy, I'm trying to go to sleep"!  I guess the rice crispy treat helped.

For dinner that night we went to our favorite pizza place, Gusano's.  Love these two boys!

Cheers to a great day and weekend with my family!
