Pumpkin Patch and The Boys

Mommy and E at the shower. We got tons of stuff, and the best part was that Aunt Beth, Nanny, Trey, Carlie Kena, Uncle Carl, and Pop got to come to!

This is Noah with his first ever pumpkin!

This is Noah after he got out of the shower one day. He decided he NEEDED to put on his firefighter's hat!I cannot wait to show him this picture in about 15 years!

A picture of my adorable boys..I'm so blessed.

3 Cutie Pies!





This is a picture of my 3 boys. They truly enjoy eachother. Noah is a veryy good big brother.

This is the group picture from the pumpkin patch trip. It was a blast, and as you can see, Noah had fun being with all of the kids.

this is just funny! Noah brought the little horse in the living room and we decided to put E on it and then he went to get his horse and he got on it. He thought it was hilarious!

Noah would not look at the camera because he was too excited about all of the pumpkins!

It has been a very busy past few days! We had a trip to the Pumpkin Patch with the church Youth Group and we had a Necessities Shower at Bethel for Eli. We got a TON of diapers and wipes and baby wash, etc. Here are a few pictures from all of that! i don't have much time to write, but I will later!

Count Your Blessings Name them ONE BY ONE!

Today was just one of those days! Eli and Noah neither one wanted to take naps. I felt like I spent all day just trying to pick up, feed, and then lay one down for the other to ge up! Everyone has told me that it is really different going from 1 to 2 children & finally believe them. It is really tough because there is never any down time for either parent, but when things are going good it is SOO good! Today I walked into the living room from feeding Eli in our bedroom and Cody had Todd Agnew playing on our computer. We all sat in the floor and played and laughed. Then, after dinner Noah and Cody took a shower together and Noah came out with a firefighter's play hat and nothing else!!! I took a picture, but I lost my camera cord! Eli is growing and changing everyday. I think to myself God has blessed us so much. We think we have it so hard, and then we meet someone who has it so much worse than we do. Yesterday Cody & I went to Wal-Mart and met a cashier whose 9 month old son was put in the hospital for sickle cell. Please remember him. His name is Caden. It broke my heart. Count the Many Wonderful Blessings that God has given you!

born to breastfeed!

We went to the doctor for Eli on Tuesday and when we left the hospital he had lost from 6 lbs 15 oz to 6 lbs 12 oz. Well, at the doctor he weighed 7 lbs 6 oz!!!! He is definitley getting enough milk. He was born to breastfeed. He does so awesome. It's not even an effort for me. I just have to be available about every hour and a half or so!! Noah is being such a good big brother. He has done wonderfully. The only times we have to be extra careful is when he is tired and a little cranky...you never know what will happen then. Well, I gotta run. Just wanted to let everyone know how big E is getting!

Eli's here!

Eli is finally here! He was born October 1, 2008 at 4:35 a.m. and weighed 6 lbs and 15 oz. I started having contractions Tuesday evening into early Wednesday morning. We went to the hospital and he was born an hour and a half later! He started breastfeeding right away and has done wonderfully since! We are enjoying our time together.
