Pre-Memorial Day Miracle...Two Posts, One Day

Call it what you will but I'm pretty sure this is some sort of record for myself...two posts in one day. But this, my friends, is another long pictoral post. Sorry if those bore you...just catching up. Maybe someday I'll tap into my vast wisdom and wit and post something with more words than pictures. :) We'll see I guess.

Well, here is Eli being a goofball and Emmeline looking confused. The norm. Poor Emme. If she can survive Eli, she's sure to be a strong woman.
The great balloon chasers. The Beagle's (Eli) favorite pastime is to look at hot air balloons. Grandpa Larry took us to see one being blown up in San Diego. The other cute kid on the left is Matt's little cousin Zack. We went to San Diego to celebrate April 15.

The buddies.

Eli at minature golf in San Diego.

Grandpa Larry and Uncle Andrew were really excited to get a picture of Emme's first pizza at Matt's favorite restaurant, Fillipi's. Funny.

Eli with his newfound love for collecting shells. He lines them up all over our house.

You know how you have those favorite pictures of your kids? This is one of mine.

My babies. :)

Sweets, Eli, and Daddy at the beach in San Diego.

Cute as a bug. :)

Easter suits. I'm sure glad I got this picture because about one hour after that was taken, Eli threw up all over his suit and had a bad case of the flu for the next week.

Easter party and Grammy and Grumpy's house. It was COLD and RAINY. So weird for April. Kind of fun though.

Emmeline in her Easter dress.

Easter basket time!

Another one of my favorite pictures. I feel like I captured Eli's face at the perfect moment. He loves the tramp.

Say "cheese." That's his say cheese face.

MMMM. In n Out. And Grandma Bear taught Eli how to stick stickers all over his forehead. He thought that was great. Grandma and Andrew came for about a week to Arizona to visit for spring break.

Coloring Easter eggs.

Grandma and Emme.

The buddies again. Eli's favorite pose with Emmeline. "By Emme" he always says.

Matt and I have a hobby of taking pictures of our favorite truck arrangements by Eli. This was one. They are all over the house everyday.

Emme's first swim outing of the season. We went to a heated pool in April.

Grabbing toes. One of my favorite phases.

I fired up and bought a giant bucket of wheat at Costco and made homemade bread. I've made it once before and it didn't turn out very good. But this batch was quite tasty if I do say so myself. Matt thought so too.

There's fluffy.

Our sweets.

Fresh from the bath. Love that clean baby smell. Nothing like it in the world.

Sucking her thumb...that phase didn't last long though.

The buddies, again.

And again.

Eli being naughty by getting in Emme's jumper.

Well, I guess that's it for this post. The pictures were in a random order but I'm still figuring out how to best post pictures on here. Anyway, hope you enjoyed. :)
