Eli is 6 months old today!

Here is Eli at 6 months old! He has his 6-month checkup in the morning, so I'll post his stats tomorrow. He does have a small lump on his upper right thigh that I discovered Saturday morning. It doesn't seem to bother him, is not red or hot to the touch. Hopefully it is nothing to be concerned about.
Do you think he is teething?

We got this exersaucer for his 6-month birthday. We spent $100 and after about 10 minutes he was done.

Sunday Mornin'

Chillin this morning with my two boys.

Hayes said, "take my picture" and then struck this pose.

Hayes Goes to School

Here is Washington Elementary! This is where Hayes will attending Pre-K this Thursday. He'll go from noon-3pm everyday! Yes - everyday!

Hayes wanted to wear his new pirate sweater on this 90 degree day for our Pre-K meeting at his new school.

Just inside the school doors!

Mrs. Beth Henry at our in-home visit Friday morning! Mrs. Henry has been a Pre-K teacher for eight years! I'm so excited that Hayes will have some daily social interaction with children of his age, and I can also get involved with the school and meet other moms!

Harrah's Casino & Hotel ~ Metropolis, IL

Welcome to Harrah's Casino on the Ohio River in Metropolis, IL! This is about 45 minutes south of us. We thought we'd check out the hotel while we were in Metropolis.

Looks like Travis Tritt will be performing here soon! Come on up! (Looks like he may have had a little botox, or maybe the photo is just retouched?)

Here is the entrance to the casino from the hotel. Must be 18 to enter so here they come back up. DENIED! (Nah - they just really went down to check out the entrance)

An OLD gambling machine. These were throughout the wings of the hotel. After touching most of them we saw the "do not touch" sign.

Here's the Watling Draw Poker built in 1900. By 1896 card machines were in virtually all of San Francisco's cigar stores and saloons. All of these were really cool!

Thirty-One Gifts Party!

Tonight is my first Thirty-One Gifts party at my mom's house! Can't wait to catch up with some friends and family and share my exciting new products!

Are you Ready for Some Football?

It's about that time, and Sheldon is trying to prep Hayes! Does Hayes like Tigers or Gamecocks? You decide!

On the Road Again!

Today we are driving back to South Carolina! REALLY not looking forward to the drive, but can't wait to see family and friends.

Another VBS performance

Hayes didn't get as involved in this one, but watch the little boy beside him.

Hayes at VBS!

Turn up your volume and watch Hayes dance! He's in the front with the orange shirt.

I don't know what is up with the elbows.

Happy Birthday to my Sister!

Happy Birthday Tuesday! See you in a few days!
(I'll probably see her before she reads this!)
