Eli's Nashville Trip


Eli got to have a trip the to Nashville to visit Aunt Raeanna and Uncle Josh the year after Luke. We went in March of 2018. 

We visited the Science Center and Eli enjoyed playing with all the different things there. 

 Eli got to "walk on the moon". 




Aunt Raeanna was about 7 months pregnant with Rae Clair. She was a trouper.

Eli, of course, loved all the eating and drinking.

He got to go to the Predator's game and they sat right next to the penalty box. He even was on TV!


We got to be there for a baby shower for Raeanna at her work. 




We did the escape room twice and solved the second one! Eli found the final clue that got us out. 

Eli got a little silly while we were clothes shopping for him. 

It was chilly while we were there. Just left over snow.



I love traveling with my Eli!

Eli at the County Track and Feild

Eli is such a natural athlete. He and Luke have been invited to the county track and field event to represent their school for the past several years. 

Eli ran the mile event for his school in 5th grade in March 2018. He placed 5th out of about 30 kids. I might have been so proud I cried a little. :)
This is Eli doing the long jump in 6th grade at the middle school county event in March of 2019.

Kris Being My Hero

Kris is very brave and can kill a rattlesnake with a shovel at close range. But a roach, he might dance a bit. 😂


Eli Chasing Susanna

Eli and Susanna have this funny relationship. They're two peas in a pod, really. They have a great sense of humor, they see between the lines of most situations and they always find something to poke fun at. They're like their daddy in that way. But from early on, Eli has adored Susanna, many times showing it by picking on her. She quickly learned how to handle him and hold her own. 

Chicken Laying an Egg


We have so loved having chickens. This was a cool moment when Eli caught video footage with his GoPro of a chicken laying an egg behind the AC handler. 

Susanna's Dinner Blessing


This little mouth. 💓

Water Fun May 2017


Given that we live in Florida, we are always on or near water.

Eli Free Throw Competition

Eli was chosen to represent Woodward Elementary in a free throw competition in May of 2017. He got 2nd place! (Absolute silence was required from the audience or they would be asked to leave!)


Judah's End of Year Programs for Kindergarten and First Grade

Since we're going way back, here's Judah's end of Kindergarten program in Mrs. Sapp's class in May of 2016.

And his end of 1st grade program in Mrs. Underhill's class in May of 2017.

Luke's 5th Grade Graduation Speech and Shrek Performance

Luke was Pinocchio in his 5th grade play, Shrek.

Luke received the honor of giving the speech for his 5th grade graduation in May of 2017. He got to wear the sports coat again, and he looked like a professional. 😊
