 I am not sure who is more thirsty my plants or my boys

 Watching Toy Story 3 and I am having a hard time knowing if he is happy or sad at the end.

 Marley spent the morning at the "spa" he got his hair cut, nails done and all.

On out way to Gunner's birthday party. Uh-Oh

Liam's 2 Year check up

Since I was out of town for Liam's official 2nd birthday. His 2 year checkup was also a few days later. Liam always think is going to freak out and never let the Dr touch him, but nope he does great. Liam actually doesn't even make a peep until he checks his diaper. Liam really hates that part, but it only lasts a few second and he is quickly over it. I was happy to hear that there are no shots at the 2 year visit. So basically that was all he had to do. As far as his development goes he is doing great. The Dr. says he is very tall and thin and that his is growing great. We did talk about his speech again and the Dr says it is time to have someone come to our house and check him out. I am a little worried about this, but I think if he could talk better her would be so much happier. We are also going to get his hearing checked just to make sure everything is okay there.

Liam's current stats are:

Weight~ 29 lbs 4 oz 50%tile

Height~ 36 1/4 In 90%tile

Head ~ 19 1/4 in 50%tile

Liam current likes:

To do everything like his brother. He is into super heroes and really into cowboys. Although he is a little picker of an eater then Eli he still eats lots of things. He loves fruit snacks, raisins, crackers, he asks for milk a lot, mini wheat cereal and things like that. I recently found out that he loves salad. Who would have thought? He plays well with other children and reminds me of the Rhino in Jumungi who is always bringing up the rear. He gives up hugs and kisses all the times. He is a very sweet and loving little boy ( I know I am very lucky). He is also an excellent sharer, which is another wonderful thing about him. He is obsessed with hair and likes to squeeze it. It gets him in trouble something when he is at the park and sees a pretty girl with lots of hair! He is a funny Character and we are so lucky to have him in our family.

Caribbean Cruise with the Lakes

Like I said when Jacob found out we were having another baby he wanted to go on lots of trips. One of the trips we have planned it a cruise with our friends Greg and Chelsea. We went to Turks, half moon cay, and the Bahamas. We had so much fun. The prettiest island was half moon clay however it was the hardest to get on and off of. We had to shuttle and so that was a mess. The Bahamas was the funniest. Jacob and I went to the Atlantis and did their water-park. It was so much fun. We kept thinking the boys would love this there was fish everywhere, sharks, fun slides it was a blast we will have to take the family back someday.

The boat was fun too. We would have ice cream and pizza all the time. People watching was fun. At night we would have fun conversations and then hit up the dance club. Greg even danced a few times. Jacob loved the dancing part and I swear he thought he was 18 again. I couldn't stay in the club long because as the night would go people would start smoking and I would have to leave. We liked the comedy shows and even played some of there games too. Over all the trip was a blast and we had a wonderful time. It was a million times more fun then my last cruise!

Radom thought from a mother...

So there are lots of cute things my family does that are short or funny here are a few things I want to remember...

• Linda Halbert (Eli's school teacher) did this cute day where she celebrates summer birthdays. Eli loved it and had so much fun at the school party. He kept talking about it. The next morning he woke up and said, "Mom did you know I am four now?" It has taken me weeks to explain to him that they celebrated his birthday early and he is not 4 yet. He was upset for while, but I think everything is okay now.
• Sometimes Eli walks up to me and says, "Mom, follow me." Once I am following him he says I am a prophet then starts singing the primary song follow the prophet. It is so funny because he usually does this in stores or places really public.
• Eli went through this knock knock joke phase. He would just say something random in the punch line part. Although it was cute after a while it would get really old. So I came up with and taught him a super hero joke. Now he is funny and has a cute joke. This is what he says, "knock knock. Who's there? Iron man. Ironman who? Iron man you've been waiting for!
• Eli says he wants the baby in my tummy to be a girl and name her flower. He has said this forever. I am worried that if it is a girl we will have to name her some sort of flower name. I guess it's times for me to see if there are any I like.
• Marley is a cute dog and I like him. However he has this super annoying habit of coming up and standing behind you and sneezing on your leg over and over again. He does it to everyone and we all HATE it.
• Oh ya Liam had the speech lady come. He was so funny with her and did an excellent job. They said that he is a little to developed to be in the program and I should just keep my eye on him. Before they came I started making Liam use or try to use or word if he wanted something. For example if he wanted food I would try to get him to say cracker and I would give it to him until I felt he tried. Ever since I started this he has really started to say a lot more things!

Liam turns 2!

I can't believe it but my little guy Liam is 2. Okay okay he isn't two yet but his actual birthday is while we are on our cruise. So we are celebrating it a little early! I figured Liam is still pretty young for a huge party so we just invited family to come down and play and eat at Chuckee Cheese with us. The Gilmore's were in New York celebrating Chase's graduation (minus Ethan) and Jacob's parents were gone. So it was just us, Ethan and Mamo and Papa. We had such a good time playing games and eating pizza. Liam felt really special with all the extra attention and seemed to have a wonderful time. After Chuckee cheese we went to DQ and got some treats. That's where we sang to Liam. After dessert we went back home to open presents. Liam was crazy cute. He just loved everything. He got a few guns from everyone. Then may parents also got him a cowboy at which was a perfect addition to our present of getting him a Rody. (those are the blow up horses he loves at all the play places) he went CRAZY  when we brought it out. Hands down one of the cutest things I have ever seen him do.

Eli's graduation

Today Eli's little class did a little graduation show for the parents. This gave the children an opportunity to show us how cute they are and some fun things they learned at school. Eli was super cute and animated he get so excited during certain song and he loved any of them with dancing. There was a number song and he would stop singing and come and explain to me what was going on. He then went back and yelled out the next number before they started singing because he thought it was so exciting.
