Locomotion

Chad is always looking for fun things to do with Eli on the weekends I work. A couple of times they have gone to Locomotion, our local go carts/mini golf/bumper boats/arcade. A while back, Livingsocial had a deal for Locomotion so of course I bought it. It was expiring on Sunday so we had to use it! Thankfully the weather was perfect for go carts and miniature golf!

iPhone Picture Unload

I've been wanting share these pictures from my phone but just haven't had the chance to blog. So here you go...













Let It Snow

Last week we received an inch or two of snow. Just enough to make snow angels and build a small snowman! Eli has been dying for snow all winter. This is the most we gotten the entire season.


We are forecasted to get another couple of inches of snow tomorrow night. I'm not holding my breath. I will believe when I see it!

Getaway

I had been wanting to go somewhere and stay overnight for a while. Eli heard us talking about it once and then that's all he would talk about! We just needed a getaway, preferably one where Eli could go swimming.
We had a free weekend last weekend. At the last minute we decided to go stay for the night in Branson. I think I was as excited as Eli! We did some shopping, ate lots of yummy food, went swimming and took Eli on his first Build-A-Bear experience. It was a perfect getaway!

Eli got a kick out of the shower cap!

We ate some yummy steaks at Texas Land & Cattle.  Eli was fun as always :)

 Eli's first Build-A-Bear experience.  I don't think he quite understood what was going on but he loved his bear after it was done.  He named him Chubby.  While carrying him back to the hotel Eli turned to us and said, "I'm not gonna let anyone get Chubby.  I'm gonna protect him".  He was very proud!

The water was heated but still too cold for me!  Eli didn't seem to mind it though!



Watching morning cartoons with Chubby

These rides are always a hit at the outlet mall!

It was a short getaway but a much needed one!

Happy Valentine's Day

Eli's school party was on Wednesday before valentines day. Here are a few pictures from the party.

Is this not the absolutely sweetest thing you've ever seen???? They always say a prayer before their snack at school. This picture just makes me smile!

 

The two tables of kids in Eli's class...
This picture is kind of blurry but I finally got a picture of Eli looking at the camera and smiling.
 
All the kids decorated their valentines boxes at school.

 

These were Eli's valentines for his friends. He thought they were very cool!

We went out to eat the night before valentines day since I worked on the actual day. I love my boys!
