Two peas--Sept. 19, 2010

While I was making Oliver's breakfast, he decided to pull Eli up on the couch with him to watch cartoons. This is how I found them! Pretty cute, I think!

My boys :)

First soccer game of the season--Sept. 11, 2010

This year, Oliver is playing in the same soccer league, but in an older age group (for 7 and 8 year olds.) The field and goals are much bigger, and it really feels much more like an actual game! Despite the changes from last year, he still LOVES it and is doing really well! (Yes, the jerseys are HUGE, and yes, that is Pat in the background being a flag person, or whatever you call it! I guess I need to start learning my soccer lingo!)

Oliver doing a throw-in.

Eli acting tired before the game even started!

Oliver's Missing Front Tooth!--Sept. 10, 2010

When I picked Oliver up from school, he looked a little different than he did in the morning! He pulled his front tooth out in Music class! He was pretty proud of himself!

Visiting Kevin & Tonya

Oliver had an AMAZING time learning to water ski when we visited Kevin, Tonya, Kiara and Ashley! We ended up going out on Kevin and Tonya's boat twice while we were there!

Eli wasn't so thrilled to be in the lake!

The Circus!!

That's Oliver with the green sleeve!

Today Pat and I took Oliver to his first circus! He thought it was "SO COOL!!" Pat and I enjoyed it, but the best part for us was definitely watching Oliver's excitement!

What a Difference a Few Hours Make!

We tried sitting again later in the afternoon and Eli was already doing MUCH better!

Eli just LOVES his big brother! Ollie can always make him smile!

Okay, so we still don't totally have the sitting thing down!

Oliver thought it was absolutely HILARIOUS when Eli stuck his finger up Oliver's nose! Oh, the humor of a 6 year old boy!

Eli Learing to Sit

Oliver was so excited to help Eli learn to sit!

Now you've got the hang of it, Eli!

OOPS!!! (No babies were harmed in the taking of these photos!)

New Playset

Eli and Great Aunt Vicki

Putting up the playset...with the help of lots of family and friends! (I didn't realize how crooked it looked! We have it straightened out now!)

Grandma and Eli

Almost finished...we still need to put the rock climbing wall up.

Ollie enjoying his new swing!

Oliver has been wanting a playset for so long. I came across one on craigslist.com and it turned out to be just what we wanted! Half of the neighborhood has already been over to try it out!

The Boys Eating Their Toes!

One of Eli's favorite things to do is chew on his toes! One afternoon, Oliver decided to see if he could do it, too!
